It’s Thursday and time for a new challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.   This week we have gorgeous colors to work with, check them out. Aren’t these colors beautiful together!   I love the soft Crisp Cantaloupe paired with the brighter Cameo Coral.   I felt that these colors needed a flower, so I picked the Simply Sketched hostess set to make my card with.   I really enjoyed making this card, it kind of just made itself!   Here are the details: 1     I picked Crisp Cantaloupe as my card base.   Embossed it with the new Beautifully Baroque EF. 2        Picked the flower from the stamp set as my focal point.   Colored the image with markers and stamped it on Whisper White.   Die cut the image with one of the framelits from Apothecary Accents Framelits. 3        I added paper piercing around the flower using the template for my die cut from the Essentials Paper Piercing Pack. 4 ...

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Today I have a Wisteria Wonder card to share for the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.  Take a look at the great sketch Mary Jo gave us this week. I didn't have to think for long about what to do for this sketch.  I have the new DSP Afternoon Picnic that I have been wanting to use, so I started out with it.  I chose the chevron design paper and worked around those colors.  Here's my card. The DSP had Pear Pizzaz, Wisteria Wonder and So Saffron in it.  I decided on Wisteria Wonder as my main color.  The base card is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dot EF.  The DSP was punched with the Scallop Trim Border and adhered to the card.  I used a square of Whisper White CS and stamped the flower from Simply Sketched in StazOn Black.  I used an Aqua Painter and ink pad to color the image.  The fun part of today's card came next.  I finally got to play with the new Simply Press...
