Springtime Impressions - TGIFC159 Sketch Challenge

May 11, 2018

Welcome back friends. Happy Friday and that means it is time for another TGIF Challenge! We have an unique sketch to play along with. I just received some of the new catalog products on preorder and I couldn't wait to open them up and play. This card follows the sketch to the letter, however instead of a flower I used the butterfly die from the new Springtime Impressions thinlets.

The TGIFC designers have some lovely interpretations of this sketch. Check them out and play along! #tgifc159

One color wonder - I stamped the little birdie image on coldpress watercolor paper in Golden Glow ink and then pulled that color through the images with a water brush. I love easy technique to quickly add color. Bird image & sentiment are from the Cutest Crew stamp set. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #cutestcrew

Golden Glow. I'm going to try to create a series of one color cards using the new Stampin' Up! InColors. Today I'm showcasing Golden Glow. This new color is a soft warm light gold. It is a calming color and I think it is very a nice addition to the yellows. Those cute bird images are from the 'Cutest Crew' stamp set. Need a reason to make? We have a animal theme @global.design.project #gdp551 Play along with us this week! Looking for more inspiration on this Monday? My Monday Montage friends are sharing a bunch of fun new ideas. Next up is Cheryl @nukumach1 Hopping today are: Anja @1stampingnightowl Bree @craftsomnia Charlet @i.heart.stamps - that's me!

Punches for the win. I needed a graduation card so I used two punches from Stampin’ Up! To create the graduation cap. The cap tassle is created using baker’s twine. Modern Oval & Tailored Tag punch. #useyourstash #graduationcard #cardmakingreels

It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed! I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this week. I'm playing along with @tgifchallenges color challenge using Night of Navy, Granny Apple Green and Smopky Slate. The card layout was inspired by the challenge sketch for @global_design_project #gdp550 #stampinup #cardmaking #graduationcard
