Kind of fun when that happens. A sketch, a color and a theme all combined into one card. Anne Marie, over at <i><a href="http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/2024/02/pp678-sketch-challenge-from-anne-marie.html"><b>The Paper Players</b></a></i>, provided me with a sketch and JoAnn at <a href="http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com/2024/02/seize-birthday-278-red-as-main-color.html"><b><i>Seize the Birthday</i></b></a> is looking for the color red. Those two played along quite well with the gals over at <i><a href="https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2024/02/patterned-paper.html"><b>Double D</b> <b>Challenges</b></a></i> who have asked us to use patterned paper. I just reorganized my 12x12 sheets by cutting them down to a more manageable size and packaging them by like colors.

My sweet friend Nancy (aka the enabler!!) let me know this could be hot foiled and that's just what I've done here. Once I foiled it with Pewter foil, I was good to go with the stenciling. The light and dark pinks look so pretty on the petals. Two shades of gray were used on the leaves and the darker gray on the sentiment. A sprinkling of sequins and she was good to go!

I happened to have these sweet<i> Poppystamps</i> hearts already cut and just begging to be used. Technically two hearts that became four! After going back and fourth with my flower, I settled on these pretty little Washi roses by Pinkfresh. They have a bit of orange mixed with the bright pink. I thought it was a good pairing for my Berry Sorbet hearts. A simple sentiment by <i>IO</i> was added and then I popped the panel onto my card base with a piece of fun foam.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIM55eUowk1nBCOqqbLA4m9da0-qRFgT9YRE4m1KNWhn8i9ZKBcXLj0I14BmK64zaBo6TEEU5jBakk1TH9dg_BgJc5X1oWIF6XRhd5FB3m0fG3dxM6Oyrl_916iOeD50HHyv-vy9pjZ96FpAaNz68roMdUadY2UAnQqWDcxm4Qz2XPx9FlrssCYPDpeJs/s1200/2024-1%20January%20new%20graphic-001.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1200" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIM55eUowk1nBCOqqbLA4m9da0-qRFgT9YRE4m1KNWhn8i9ZKBcXLj0I14BmK64zaBo6TEEU5jBakk1TH9dg_BgJc5X1oWIF6XRhd5FB3m0fG3dxM6Oyrl_916iOeD50HHyv-vy9pjZ96FpAaNz68roMdUadY2UAnQqWDcxm4Qz2XPx9FlrssCYPDpeJs/w400-h250/2024-1%20January%20new%20graphic-001.png" width="400" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Off she goes to the gallery! </span></span><br /></div><p></p>Lisa Eltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17672120391964086591noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638203958579758265.post-71361576908305699902024-02-06T03:00:00.011-05:002024-02-06T03:00:00.145-05:00Poppystamps<p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's my turn on the <b><i><a href="https://poppystamps.typepad.com/poppystamps/">Poppystamps</a></i></b> blog once again.

Next came a cute snowman stamp I picked up at Archivers eons ago. Don't you love their happy little faces! I die cut the panel with a <i>PPP </i>border die, then cut two more in coordinating colors. A fun sentiment by <i>Pinkfresh</i> was stamped in the same gray I used for the snowmen. Easy peasy!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Alrighty, now it's your turn. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Come on, you know you have a stencil or two in your stash!</span></span><br /></p><p></p>Lisa Eltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17672120391964086591noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638203958579758265.post-11984685929972115692024-01-23T03:00:00.053-05:002024-01-23T03:00:00.299-05:00Poppystamps<p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi there!

We have snow, but there was plenty of sunshine to go with it today! It was a good day to get a some crafting in. I put this little number together for the <b><i><a href="https://colorhuesthecolorchallenge.blogspot.com/2024/01/color-hues-79-copper-and-green.html">Color Hues</a></i></b> challenge where they're looking for copper and green.<br /></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSzYYm3RWW6HsYBF87MbY17x9ndu8TFKOgspEID_4NHciOKlLTtH4ihgunMJmviL3kdf7tSjVl8DDJauom4v3kaJ1CFxK-YlZn_v8Mk31AnsEjfs5sLJ3ozZugSoo78rHyYDEmbCzRy6Hur0ozQL4VHrZ8EyRaVrBn37hsO5et1wfY392LPHWvYmiqsc0/s1102/24%20%200121%20%20000%20copy.jpg" style="font-family: georgia; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSzYYm3RWW6HsYBF87MbY17x9ndu8TFKOgspEID_4NHciOKlLTtH4ihgunMJmviL3kdf7tSjVl8DDJauom4v3kaJ1CFxK-YlZn_v8Mk31AnsEjfs5sLJ3ozZugSoo78rHyYDEmbCzRy6Hur0ozQL4VHrZ8EyRaVrBn37hsO5et1wfY392LPHWvYmiqsc0/w580-h640/24%20%200121%20%20000%20copy.jpg" width="580" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I started with a cute little <i>PPP</i> tag cut from copper paper. A pre-foiled sentiment went on next along with a partial circle cut from copper and white paper. All of these items were in a paper pad gifted to me long ago. Next came all of the fun little sprigs and flowers. I guess they're flowers, who knows! Everything came along with my Switch machine with the exception of the pierced leaves. They're by <i>Simply Graphic</i>. The pretty embossed background was a gift from sweet <a href="http://icardeveryone.blogspot.com/">Michele </a>(<i>thanks again xo</i>)!<br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-3iNlU05w8L_I4PfbH_zoOUkLkLJOQXa-9mtco0900wVr6mIWdrBif9P6FPwUH2PaqV_e1Q-FD5f5GxfWJL8Mm7KZsfh5Sa6VASNBv3IHHiH-L32AsfAWfhCZ53mjjKgs3_q6E2rTvxBZ13DVhFgPoTRk3AyMg4xloyOqjM1_i9WCXnAKYTd330T4b0/s1080/CH%20%2379%20Copper%20and%20Green.001.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="880" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-3iNlU05w8L_I4PfbH_zoOUkLkLJOQXa-9mtco0900wVr6mIWdrBif9P6FPwUH2PaqV_e1Q-FD5f5GxfWJL8Mm7KZsfh5Sa6VASNBv3IHHiH-L32AsfAWfhCZ53mjjKgs3_q6E2rTvxBZ13DVhFgPoTRk3AyMg4xloyOqjM1_i9WCXnAKYTd330T4b0/s320/CH%20%2379%20Copper%20and%20Green.001.jpeg" width="261" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Off this goes to the gallery. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Thanks for taking the time for a v</span><span style="font-family: georgia;">isit!</span></span><br /></p><p></p>Lisa Eltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17672120391964086591noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638203958579758265.post-79110502642294216602024-01-18T00:01:00.000-05:002024-01-18T00:01:00.154-05:00Friends Like You ~ Just Us Girls #710<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_gcA-A2RrxFWOWYJXu_IutieHgFjlhMC31yaUMboAqWtuWij620mHzOnF7qhoxwf1sVyCQl4dvbEUBnyp9OjIEp8inB-V0PNNugX079mLFCTVNVVWn5g0DyZOw_tfFxqF4NEsAJIJQLAGTY0h-TjGPCOoCgo2K3MgWiJJfvwQhRaUOhBt1mDOWu2Nuv-i/s600/Moodboard710.png" style="font-family: georgia; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="589" data-original-width="600" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_gcA-A2RrxFWOWYJXu_IutieHgFjlhMC31yaUMboAqWtuWij620mHzOnF7qhoxwf1sVyCQl4dvbEUBnyp9OjIEp8inB-V0PNNugX079mLFCTVNVVWn5g0DyZOw_tfFxqF4NEsAJIJQLAGTY0h-TjGPCOoCgo2K3MgWiJJfvwQhRaUOhBt1mDOWu2Nuv-i/s320/Moodboard710.png" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: georgia;"> <br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Hey there, ready for a new <a href="https://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/"><b><i>Just Us Girls</i></b></a> challenge?</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I'm hosting this week and I've picked a cozy mood board for you!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Here's a close up. <br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgerheaUgNcv_JOs-CLoJUipxjQqHUlRUsTCgvmr7zl3BbQcVwaRw9IR5Asm4FcwljRkf7XWVkwpeCWnVSkwKpy1Jy45oX5zC6tdCjVeIiybcnrXMrM3oDZCnfuu0WjFZ8MO3x0yIWSMntKetxArtD_ATkqdgE0VXhxzKcPzYGLt3KvaT_wXPi0s7_M-Cg/s564/61569085d467c7229ac12af6dacbd07d.jpg" style="font-family: georgia; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="564" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgerheaUgNcv_JOs-CLoJUipxjQqHUlRUsTCgvmr7zl3BbQcVwaRw9IR5Asm4FcwljRkf7XWVkwpeCWnVSkwKpy1Jy45oX5zC6tdCjVeIiybcnrXMrM3oDZCnfuu0WjFZ8MO3x0yIWSMntKetxArtD_ATkqdgE0VXhxzKcPzYGLt3KvaT_wXPi0s7_M-Cg/w400-h400/61569085d467c7229ac12af6dacbd07d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I knew the stencil I would use and I had the perfect Folk Art Background Die from <i>WF</i>.
