May Every Sunrise Hold More Promise

Hello Lovelies!

**I am thrilled to share that this card was chosen as Papercraft Stars Runner Up and given the Quasar Award as well as The City Crafter's Spotlight Artist**

I have a quick share for you today inspired by a few challenges that gave me the opportunity to play with some new goodies from Inspired By Stamping and Authentique.  Gray and yellow is a popular combination right now from papercrafting to Home decor, so I thought I would join in. :-)))

I started out with a Whisper White Card base and pieced together my pattern papers from Authentique.   Some crochet trim was added and a doily was hand-dyed and stamped with an image from  Inspired By Stamping - Paris  The doily was then embellished with a variety of buttons around the image which was inspired by Cheryl. :-)

A spellbinders Label 3 was die-cut and stamped with the complimentary Fancy Labels 3 adding an encouraging sentiment from Amazing Inspirations.   Three roses were added to the upper right corner for a finishing decorative touch!

I found inspiration from The City Crafter Challenge - Sketch

Papercraft Star - Gingham or Checks 

Moxie Fab - Gingham and Moxie Fab - Doilies and Lace

I hope you have a Fantastic Friday!

Inspired By Stamping - May 2012 Day two of peeks!

Hey Peeps~

(This is my second post of the day...to see my Inspired By Stamping Sketch Challenge card click here...I hope you check it out because we really want you to play along!!! )

As promised, I am back with two more peeks from the Inspired By Stamping May release. It's been wonderful reading your comments on the Day 1 creations! Thank you for taking the time to comment with your sweet thoughts.

So let's get started with the two shares I have for you today!

This little number showcases a daisy colored with my prisma colored pencils. It's been awhile since I did a little watercoloring, so I enjoyed breaking those out.  I went with a hot trendy color combination and created my own tag adding some fun checked, gingham patterned paper as a backdrop for the Daisy.  How gorgeous is that sentiment?  This set is called Daisies and will be available for purchase on Friday!!! It comes with 8 stamps and will retail for $15.00.

Moving on to the second make for the day is from a set called Amazing Inspirations.

With both these cards, I have moved away from the pink palettes you see a lot on my blog. With this card I chose to go with a beautiful soothing blue and green palette. The quote and Hope are two separate stamps. A beautiful flourish was added below the quote which is from the Fancy Labels 3 stamp set. 

I took a length of vintage seam binding and wrapped around the card front and tied in a fussy bow embellishing with a button, twine, and a tag which features a sentiment from Amazing Inspirations.  This collection comes with 11 stamps and will retail for $15.00.

The back of this card showcases a Handmade By stamp that will be available as a gift with a qualifying purchase.
