Imagine Crafts: Fireworks Color Expressions RECAP

Hello, friends:)


Today I'm sharing a recap of my project over on the Imagine Crafts blog. Click HERE or HERE to check it out:) Click HERE for the video on Vimeo! 

****Be sure to change your settings to HD before watching this video! THANKS:)

I used a Tsukineko Fireworks sprays to create some bold color statements on my cards! I actually had an accident with an open Fireworks bottle... but instead of freaking out.... I embraced this spilled ink and used it on these cards! I LOVE it! 

I also used some Paper Smooches stamps/dies and Chickaniddy Crafts Twirly Girly papers for these cards.

I hope that you will stop over on the Imagine Crafts blog HERE to check out my video or leave some love!

Paper Smooches SPARKS Jan. Picture Perfect challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week is a Picture Perfect challenge.  

This week we are inspired by the following picture:

Picture: Credit

So I found lots of things to be inspired by from this photo:

1. Cake- why does one have a cake? To celebrate... to celebrate a baby, wedding, birthday!
2. The flowers
3. Polka dots
4. Colors- well... just the yellow/dots

So from all of that... I created the following card for our cousin's Grandma who is turning 90 this month! I used some Crate Paper Flea Market papers (inspired by the photo- flowers and polka dots) along with a random yellow pom pom ribbon that I had in my drawer (also inspired by the polka dots and yellow from the photo)! I die cut a banner using the Paper Smooches Flag Tag dies and stamped a sentiment from the PS Woofers & Tweeters set. I also stamped the number 90 tone-on-tone using Memento Angel Pink inks and the PS Digits set. I added a birdie paper clip and gold floss... and I was done! EASY:) OH! And I added some splatters using the Imagine Crafts Angel Pink Fireworks spray- LOVE! I also think this is the perfect entry for the Ribbon Carousel #89 challenge (Love/Birthday/Chicken Soup)! FAB! 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love.
