Mother's Day Cards & KWCIC #51

Here's 2 Mother's Day cards I did last night based on the Kristina Werner Color Inspiration Challenge. I love these challenges, especially when I'm on a time crunch like I am right now... It really helped me to get focused and get 'em done!



On this first card, I used SU stamps (Packet Silhouettes & Lexicon of Love), SU Ink in More Mustard and Staz-on Timber Brown. The scalloped square was punched from my 6x6 pad of BG Euphoria, the crocheted ribbon is from Fancy Pants and I used a random fuschia fiber in my supply.

PP on this one was from the DCWV '09 Spring Stack, Michael's ribbon, and the stems and leaves were stamped from the Botanical Blooms SU stamp set. Ink colors are all SU: More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, and Pink Passion. I used plain white Prima mini-flowers and colored them using the same colors in my SU markers.

Here's my second creation for the kwernerdesignblog Color Inspiration Challenge:

This is a take off of the Mother's Day card we made in SU Club this month.

Kwerner Design Challenge #50 - Box

I decided to do the Color Inspiration Challenge again at kwernerdesignblog! This time, there are goodies involved! We can only post one entry, and this is one of two that I created... I am still having a hardtime deciding which one to choose!

For this little gift box, I covered a box I had with DCWV "Citrus" paper and used my SU "Say it with Scallops" stamp set.

The flower on top was originally a white Prima flower, but I used my "coffee" glimmer mist to turn it brown, then added some pearl accents in the middle that I covered with yellow "sugarcoating" glitter from doodlebug design.

KWerner Design Challenge #47

I discovered an awesome inspiration site last night! kwernerdesign blog! I am SO moved and motivated by color that I took up her weekly color challenge on the spot!

Here it is!

I used the SU "Top Note" big shot die, the SU "delicate dots" designer series paper, the SU "Say it with Scallops" stamp set, My SU Scallop square punch, Martha Stewart brown twill tape ribbon, an MM acetate flower, a paper studio flower, and some Kaiser Kraft brown pearl accents. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the SU "in" colors, so I had to use my Staz-on ink in pumpkin. My first challenge - ever! And I had lots of fun! :o)
