Good Fishes

6/11/2016

Today's fun sketch is from Sunday Stamps #128, and I think I'll add in Global Design Project #39's "get well" theme, too!
Searching for a sentiment, I came across my beloved Lovely Amazing You set. Avid fans may remember the time BEFORE photopolymer stamps, and when SU! was slowly releasing a set a month to test the waters on whether or not they wanted to start offering them - this was one of those sets! What folks may NOT realize, though, is that even though it's not in the catty, YOU CAN STILL GET IT! It's still available while supplies last, so remember to add it to your order!! Good fishes to you!

Taking Freshly Made Sketch #226 out to play today! I'm adding in these regal colors from Create With Connie & Mary #396, too!
It was challenge to combine these colors into a floral theme, but I so wanted to use my Botanical Gardens DSP - not mention that awesome SAB vellum, too! I did use a little trick to get the strip of vellum on there without any adhesive marks - I cut the strip extra long and just wrapped the ends to the back. Wish I'd thought of that sooner!

I'm totally in love with this week's awesome sketch over at TGIF #33! You have GOT to check out the design team samples - gorgeous! I'm SO inspired!
So, as previously mentioned, I have some new toys around here, so I of course wanted to bring some of them out for this card! There's a gorgeous new suite of products called Botanical Blooms, that has stamp set, DSP and framelits all in one bundle - woo hoo! Let's take this trio out to play! I especially couldn't wait to try out the edgelit included in the framelit set, that gave me this lovely leafy border. I have so many ideas I want to try with this beauty! So ingenious! See what you have to look forward to?

Here's a fun CASE from SU-per Challenge #105! I'm matching it with Nacho Average Challenge #160!
When I first saw the CASE, I totally thought I was going to do a different image, especially when I added the color challenge. Like, totally Halloween, right? Right! Then my little framelits started working their wiles on me, and I watched the Painted Lady butterfly checking out my tomato plants during lunch today, and I realized, uh, these ARE actually butterfly colors! So I gave it up and put this together. Who else loves playing with Gorgeous Grunge? Me, me, me!! I should do more of that, lol...
PS. I also layered the smaller butterfly possible and put him inside the card...

Still feeling gilded over at My Pumpkin Challenge #0915 - A Touch of Gold! I have JUST enough time to pair it up with this week's TGIF #20 - yay!
I decided to try to shoot for another one of the big pink flowers. This time, I filled the center with a nifty little trick I'm totally stealing from Sarah's card last week - Itty Bitty Blossoms punched around the little gold dots on the boxes from the kit - brilliant! I did them over a black circle to give them a little pop... I also mixed up my sentiments a bit, and snagged this Get Well from LAST month's kit, since it fits inside our "bubble" so well!

Aww, look at that little doily peeking out on this week's sketch from Nacho Average Challenge #157! Let's try it with Stamps, Ink, Paper #12's Pop of Color challenge!
I totally wanted to pick my pop of color first, lol, and I decided to go bright - let's hear it for Bermuda Bay! After that, it was just a matter of assembling the other elements. I really worked to keep the distribution of colors fairly balanced - I was pretty worried that my color "pop" would end up taking over, lol. Poppy but subtle - that's the word!

Oh yes - this week's color challenge at Just Add Ink #277 is SO in my wheelhouse! I think this will be the perfect color spread to go with this week's Retro Sketch #179, too - such a playful layout!
So you KNEW as soon as I saw that jar on the sketch I had to run straight to the Room of Retirement and pull out Perfectly Preserved, right? No WAY I could pass up a straight line like that! It was very easy to then incorporate these fresh colors. I just, well, went a little overboard with all the toys, lol. Sometimes your little Stampin' Angel just isn't available to whisper, "OK, stop now, dear, that's enough!" Sorry...

Today I'm playing with this week's color challenge from Create With Connie and Mary #362, too - a touch of patriotic!
A stamp set I've been itching to play with gets to finally come out today - Get Well Soup. I really like the way the sentiment is a swirly part of the image, and the image leaves some room for some creative fussy cutting for playing with dimension - yay!
Oh shoot, you know what? I just realized that I used Tip Top Taupe instead of Crumb Cake - oops! Oh well - still yummy! The only OTHER difficulty I had was what to do with the envelope - I just can't abide a naked envie, lol. I finally dug out my old Morning Cup stamp set, that has a mug that goes with this set pretty well...
