I made two cards today for the challenge, and ran some errands, and my elbows are just killing me. This second surgery on my elbows can not come soon enough. I'm so tired of always hurting.

This is the second card I made for splitcoasts limited supply challenge. I really like the layout, it just kind of came to me. I think those are the best cards I make, when I do a layout on the fly! Well, hope you like it. Enjoy.

This is my second card for the limited supply challenge, to make black and white cards.My last card I used DCWV sparkle scraps. I'm using the same thing this time. I had 3 pieces of the same sparkle paper in my scrap bag. So here is my second card.My dimensions are: white: 4 x 4-1/4sparkle: 2-1/2 x 4-1/4image: 2-3/4 x 3-3/4I used the hotdog cut on the black base

black and white challenge

This is for todays limited supply challenge from Splitcoast stampers. The challenge is to make a black and white card. You can make anything if you put your mind to it. Scraps can be a key to making an awesome card. Sometimes scraps make the best layouts too. Preset your scraps in different directions to create unique and wonderful layouts.

This card is basically made around scraps. I have a bag that has odds and ends, usually dsp scraps. I saw these two DCWV Sparkle (black) scraps and came up with my idea. Even the black flower is a scrap from another project.
I found a design I liked then had to find a stamp to go with it. I tried another stamp but didn't like it, when I stamped the flower from ever after, I thought, this is the one. Just enough black and white to make this an elegant card.
So now to assemle. I knew I wanted black ribbon, so I added that first, then my argyle piece, then stripes then my main image. The difficulty I found next was the placement of the flower. I added a white prima on top of it, with a black button brad.After trying several different locations, I settled on the middle. I think it is cool. It balances the ribbon and the center panel.
What do you think?

This is for todays featured stamper challenge.The challenge were to use perfect plum, pink pirouette and kiwi kiss.I used perfect plum as my base, pink pirouette dsp, kiwi kiss as my stripe.I stamped in old olive, pretty in pink and perfect plum.I added glitter to one of my butterflies to make it stand out.My squares measure 3x3 and 2-1/2 x 2-1/2.tfl

This is for todays inspiration challenge. I chose the candy stripe pendant as my inspiration: http://www.hunkydoryhome.co.uk/hunkycat/candy-stripe-pendant-drum-pi-537.html?image=0
The colors are different, but the stripes really got me. Of course you need to dress up your stripes.
I used natural ivory as my base, used Parisian Summer as my dp, then I layered bravo burgandy with mellow moss and very vanilla.
I colored my flowers using regal rose, rose red and mellow moss. The butterflies are bravo burgandy and regal rose.
