MFT Sketch Challenge 481

Hey everyone, I'm just popping in for a quick post to share my entry for the MFT Stamps Sketch Challenge 481
This is my first time entering the sketch challenge, the entries from the design team were so inspiring that I couldn't resist entering!

Another reason to play along was that I had a watercolored panel of the Floral Focus stamp which I did not like very much. This week's sketch seemed like the perfect opportunity to salvage at least some of it!

The card has score lines on the white cardstock panel running diagonally behind the circle but I wasn't able to capture them very clearly in the photos.
I guess you can see them if you look closely. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stamplorations March CAS Card Challenge: Mid Month Inspiration

Hi everyone I am back with the mid month inspiration for the Stamplorations CAS card challenge.
You need to make a CAS card, the theme for the month is Optional Color Twist: Light Blue
We don't have many rules to keep it easy to play along. You are challenged to create a CAS card with or without the optional color twist. You may enter up to 3 CAS cards. Remember to link to this blog post and display the challenge graphic to be eligible for the prizes. You can use any craft products you want, but if you have STAMPlorations stash, we would love to see what you create with it. And of course the most important rule - have fun!
Here's my card:
I have used the True North set for this card, it is one of my favorite stamps of all time. I keep reaching out for it again and again. I have colored the stamped image and background with Daniel and Smith watercolors.
I hope you like my card, I can't wait to see what you create. Hop on over to the Stamplorations blog to see what my teammates have created!

Stamplorations March CAS Card Challenge

Hello everyone! I am so happy to be back as a designer for the Stamplorations CAS Card Challenge.
As usual, you need to make a CAS card, the theme for the month is Optional Color Twist: Light Blue
We don't have many rules to keep it easy to play along. You are challenged to create a CAS card with or without the optional color twist. You may enter up to 3 CAS cards. Remember to link to this blog post and display the challenge graphic to be eligible for the prizes. You can use any craft products you want, but if you have STAMPlorations stash, we would love to see what you create with it. And of course the most important rule - have fun!
Here's my card:
I've used In Bloom: Charmed Cherry Blossoms and Hey Sunshine Clear Stickers.

I stamped the cherry blossoms image twice off the top and bottom egdes of my cardstock panel and colored them with copic markers. Added some random dots to create interest and texture and also to create continuity in the stamped pattern. 
I used clear stickers for the sentiment, they are a great way to add sentiments especially for lazy folks like me!
