Our Challenge This Week

Our Design Team This Week

Regan

Regan took advantage of the great design of the sketch and made this extra special card. Why is it extra special you ask, because it isn't just a card.... it doubles as the gift! That's right, those are hair clips! For more details, please visit her blog Emora Designs.

 Tracy

Tracy used some beautiful my Mind's Eye lost and Found paper for the background of her card.  She created a flower out of silk fabric and added some pearls for the center.  Some pretty gold edged white ribbon complements the stamping and gold ink edging of the paper pieces and some little blingy flourishes complete the card.

Kim

Kim followed the sketch by stamping a flourish onto her patterned papers and adding some pretty pink flowers. For a sense of movement, Kim created a wavy banner by curling up the edges and used foam tape to give it a breezy touch. You can see a list of supplies and more photos by visiting Kim's blog. 

Jan

Wanky flowers, some stitching and a burlap "ribbon" make up Jan's card for this sketch challenge.  Stop in at her blog, chai tea n' me and say hello !

Last Week's Winner

Our Design Team

Kim

Kim used the orange and gray from the inspirational photo to create a rootin' tootin' card. As an added pop of color, she added a splash of purple ribbon inspired by the flower in the photo. Be sure to visit Kim's blog for details on how she created her pleated ribbon or her technique for embossing patterned paper!

Tracy

Tracy has created a fun birthday card with a cute birthday bear image and several of the colors, major and minor, from the inspiration photo.  The image is colored with Copic markers.

Regan

The black, white and orange in the inspiration photo intrigued and inspired Regan this week. Using the colors from the photo she created these elegant baby cards. She did some heat embossing, emboss resist and misting when creating her cards. For more photos and details, please visit her blog Emora Designs.

It is back to the '60s for Jan this week.  Stop by chaiteanme, say "peace", and grab all the details!!
