Pretty Little Studio - Adventure Awaits!

I hope you're having a great day! It's August and I'm starting to think about all the things I wanted to do that I haven't gotten around to yet. We took a vacation at the end of May but that seems like years ago now. I'm daydreaming of the beach and palm trees! There's one way I can get my fix while sitting in my craft room and that's the Pretty Little Studio Summer Vibes collection! It's a summer vacation all wrapped into paper, die cuts and trims!

The focal point on my card is an embellished Picnic Tag. I topped it with a gorgeous tropical floral and pineapple from the Summer Vibes Die Cuts pack. The "Adventure" sentiment is from the Here and There Collection. Since both the Summer Vibes and Here and There are from the same designer, Heather Doolittle, they mix together seamlessly.

I added some charcoal twine to the tag to coordinate with the other black accents in the design like the black printed eyelet, script, and line drawn images.

The small sentiment "Hold on to your dreams" is a sticker from the Think Positive sheet. It's my "go to" and hands down favorite sticker set in the store!

The finishing touch is a sprinkle of Sunsation sequins - the iridescent yellow is sunshine in your hands!

Have a beautiful day and keep dreaming!

Fusion Card Challenge - Pastel Pencils

Oh Hello There!  I hope you're having a great day!  I'm keeping busy working in the garden and every day there's something new to see!  The green beans are ready to pick and I've planted a second batch so hopefully they'll keep coming!  

A new challenge begins today at Fusion Card Challenge.  I admit this one had me stumped.  I love the pastel pencils and markers in the tins with the bit of silver but after searching and searching I don't think I have one set of stamps that has a pencil image in it!   So this time I focused on the sketch.

I created a background of pastels with papers from Simple Stories "The Reset Girl" Collection.  I created the wavy border with the Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Borders die.

My sentiment is from Reverse Confetti Circle Wishes and is stamped in Seafoam Ink to match the papers.  Have you seen all the new ink colors at Reverse Confetti?   Lots of choices there!    I added a few silver enamel dots to pick up on the silver cans in the inspiration photo.

Need a little more inspiration to get you started?  Head on over to the Fusion Card Challenge blog where you'll find more inspiration from the rest of the team, and get all the details on how to link up your own project!

CAS-ual Fridays August Release Day Two - Tutu

I hope you're having a great day! It's the second day of the new August 2017 CAS-ual Fridays new release peeks. There's four new stamp sets and we're showing one set every day August 1-4. The new stamps hit the store on Friday - August 4. Today were's sharing the Tutu stamp set. 

Tutu is a dancer's dream.. It's got three ballerinas in three different poses and clever dance related sentiments like this one...

I used only one of the dancers from the design and stamped her in three different colors using my Misti stamping tool for perfect placement.

I added gems to the flowers in their hair and tutus perfect for a princess!
