Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #274

 

Hello Crafty Friends!  It's the first Saturday of the month which can only mean it's time for a new Snarky prompt at the Sisterhood.  Drum Roll Please....

Our prompt for May is Gnome.

 

I pulled out my favorite Gnome die for this one.  He doesn't get a lot of use but he's sometimes the perfect supply for a card.  Besides that, he's cute.  

I die cut him from some coral and green designer papers, adhered him to an embossed die cut circle and matted it in another designer paper.  The card base is watercolor paper.  The sentiment is tiny so I've enlarged it below.

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp - Gnome for the Holiday set

Simon Says Stamp - Sassy Flaps stamp set

Spellbinders - Plaid Company embossing folder

Honeybee Stamps - designer paper pad

I invite you to visit our blog for more inspiration and hope to see your card in our gallery.  It's a month long challenge so give it some thought and join in!

Thanks for visiting!

Color Hues #132

 

Happy May 1st to all of my Crafty Friends!  As the time this posts we hope to be moved into our new home in North Carolina.  After over forty years in Florida we're ready for a change of scenery however the main incentive for moving is to be closer to our kids.  The past few months have been extremely hectic but hopefully we're on the home stretch now.

Enough of that.  Let's get to my Color Hues challenge card for this fortnight.  Stef is our host and she's chosen Yellow and Blue as her pairing.  Here's my card....

I felt like creating something whimsical this time around so I chose this fun fish as my starting point.  My focal grounding is a circle in a circle with some stamped waves and a few gems.  My fish was die cut in challenge colors and the same blue hue was chosen as my card base.  I thought this cute sentiment was a perfect one for my design.

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp - Picture Book Fish die

Ellen Hutson - S'Whale stamp set (waves)

MFT - Cooler with You stamp set

I invite you to visit our blog.  We have a variety of blue and yellow examples to show you and hope you're inspired to play along!

Thanks for visiting!
