Featured Stamper cards

Ha, told ya’! 🙂 There just had to be an evening’s post coming tonight…
The cards that I’ve got to share, are both for this week’s Featured Stamper challenge at SCS (FS234). Amy’s gallery is full of gorgeous stuff, and I couldn’t resist picking two cards for my inspiration. I only adjusted the colours, so that I’m also able to play with some of my favourite colour challenges 🙂

First one, inspired by Amy’s Love Nature card:

Photobucket

Supplies: cardstock: SU! (River Rock, Soft Suede); paper: DCWV; stamps: PTI (Out On A Limb Sentiments, Mat Stack 1 - with die, Fancy Flourishes); ink: Memento (Rose Bud), Distress Ink (Frayed Burlap), Versa Magic (Wheat); sewing machine

I “cheated” with the butterfly… it’s cut out from the beautiful DCWV paper 🙂
The colours (roughly followed), come from CTD152. I’m also entering the card into A Passion For Papertrey’s Sky’s The Limit challenge.

Then, there is this little number, that was inspired by Amy’s beautiful You’re Special card.

Photobucket

Supplies: cardstock: cream, white; paper: The Girls’ Paperie, SEI; stamps: Flourishes (Thank You); ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa), Distress Ink (Pumice Stone); Copics; Nestabilities Labels 14; Pearls: AnnaBelle Stamps; grosgrain ribbon; lace: Kaisercraft

Here the colours are also quite freely interpreted, I’m afraid… they come from CR84FN35. My tulip turned out much warmer in purple hues, than I wish it did 🙂 Also, my grays are very warm.

Thank you so much for paying me a visit tonight! I surely hope that I inspired you, if only in a bit 🙂 Have a lovely rest of the weekend,

Hi again, peeps! I’m chiming in with a new sketch, I hope you’ll like it!
I’ve been waiting with my sample until a late hour (actually, I’ve been cutting into paper for a couple of hours tonight, but we’ve been chatting away with hubby and my attention has been heavily compromised 🙂
I can’t stop thinking about a nice warm bed now, so I’ll spare myself the pain of waiting and get straight to the point! Here’s the sketch:

My card, also inspired by TSTR72 - Relax and Enjoy.

A few things to keep in mind if you decide to use my sketch:
- You’re kindly asked to save the image onto your computer first, and if you make a card based on it, please link back to this post.
- If you upload your card to an online gallery, please use the code SSC22.
- Please share the link to your creation via the Inlinkz widget, so that I can come and check it out. I would love to see what you did with it!
- The colours/elements mean nothing towards the card. All styles, colours and supplies, as well as slight alterations of the sketch are welcome.
- A new sketch and sample is posted every Saturday, but you’re welcome to play any time! Just leave a link in the comments section after Inlinkz widget closes.
