Happy Birthday WSC#58

Look at this, two weeks in a row and I am actually making a card for Beate's WSC wow! I can't even believe it, and scroll down too because you'll see I played in another challenge too! I rock!! Just kidding, I am really not quite that cocky, but I am proud I was able to create a few cards this weekend. This card I made for a friend of mine who is having a birthday tomorrow~HAPPY BIRTHDAY B!!~ I wanted to use black white and red as a color combo and I've had this great paper from Scenic Route laying around so that was my inspiration...the hard part was deciding which sides of the paper to use...I hate when double sided paper is equally cute on each side!! :) Anyway this card was really simple not too much stamping, only the sentiment which I stamped on the inside. I hope she likes it and I hope you do too...thanks for looking!

Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge

Hi!!

So I am finally playing along with Beate's WSC!! I am so proud that I actually did it, she has such amazing sketches and as usual (for me) I look at them a think I'll make a card, and then get distracted with life and the card never gets made. But Saturday night my husband and son went to a football game and I got in a little stampin time! I actually have a few projects to show, but for now...here is my take on Beates challenge. I wish I had a cute Halloween sentiment, but all the ones I had were too big, or didn't fit the "look", oh well I liked it anyway and I hope you do too!

Don't you just LOVE those shoes?? I picked up that stamp last year at Michael's in their dollar bin, I colored in the tights with my aqua-painters using Tangerine Tango and Elegant Eggplant. I add some sparkle to the buckles with my Celery Cosmo glitter. I stamped the other images (from Autumn Apparitions) in Basic black. I swiped all the edges of my cardstock across my black ink to give just a little bit of a sponged look. I really like how the Elegant Eggplant, Tangerine Tango, and Wild Wasabi (anyone else missing this color?) worked together!
