4 in 1 challenge card!!!
I decided to do 4 challenges in one today. Firstly I used the sketch from CPS. What a pretty sketch. Then I did the Pink Elephant Color Challenge using Pink, Brown and Green. I hopped on into the Flourishes Challenge to use a sentiment for the card and lastly 365 cards day #6 Flashy Friday Challenge. So here is the CPS sketch followed by my card.
For the CS, I used Pink Pirouette and Close to Cocoa. The patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Bittersweet collection (which I absolutely LOVE!!!). I cut out one of the swirls to add on later. For the center, I used a scallop and regular Nesties Oval, then stamped the Just a Note sentiment by Hampton arts, in Nick Bantock Chartreuse leaf. I used clear embossing powder on top to give it that finished look.

Then I used the same ink and my stylus tool to add a little color on the edges of the ovals. Adding the swirl I had cut out earlier above the sentiment and added some pink rhinestones in the swirl shape to amplify the curve of the papers. Then to finish the card off, I added a beautiful satin ribbon in the same Chartreuse Green, tied it in a bow and it's ready to mail.
Hope you all enjoyed the card. Don't forget there are just a few days left on my blog candy, so leave a comment on the candy post. Thanks for stopping by and

Friends and Card Patterns challenges
Hello Everyone and Happy Tuesday. Today I've got 2 cards to share with you. This first one was super simple. It is for the Color Create Challenge this week which was all about using green, orange and yellow. 
I used for this card SU card stock in Really Rust and my new Marrakech papers from Basic Grey. I absolutely love these, with their Moroccan feel. The stamps I used were the Medallion from the Little Yellow Bicycle set that is in my blog candy (make sure you take a look HERE ). The Friends Sentiment was made by using the JustRite Stamp with Times New Roman Font. These Just Rite Stamps are quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite things. To finish off the card, I used a moss green Grosgrain ribbon and that is that!
Now on to the Card Patterns Challenge. Here is the sketch
I decided to do something whimsical for this one. Since St Patty's Day is approaching, that is where the inspiration came from. For the CS, I used a few different shades of green: Glorious Green, Gable Green, and Green Galore. I also used a matte from the All Dressed Up DCWV stack and a metallic green as well.

The sentiment is yet again created by using the JustRite Times New Roman font set on the Harmony II circle. It means May God Bless You in good ole Irish. I Stamped it using a dark green from colorbox, then embossed it with clear detail embossing powder. The shamrocks on the bottom were colored in with a sparkle marker then shimmerz in celery green was used over top. Lastly a few cute buttons were added and some gold coins for luck. My first St Patricks Day card and so different than what I'm used to doing.
