Friendy Flip Card (is "friendy" a word?)

Some blues were the inspiration for my card today, and specifically the inspiration from Inkspirational.

I had a card kit that had a pattern that came right to mind.

I do go a bit from the blue to a bit of blue violet, but tried to keep my elements all in blue!

And I do love this inside sentiment! I want to sing it to a particular tune. 

Lots of Pink & Main supplies for this card. 

Get creative!

Until We Meet Again . . .

My card today was inspired by the color inspiration at Color Dare. I had used a stencil to create a bullet journal page, and when I do that I like to spray the panel with water and try to create a watercolor background fitting for a card. I never want waste all that excess ink. This particular stencil was lengthy, so I created a slimline card. 

I turned this one into a sympathy card for a pet, as it seemed like the perfect rainbow bridge card. I'm always needing some of those, and while I don't love the occasion, I do love how this card turned out. 

I love how the sweet little dog is just sitting on the cloud. I may have to intentionally create some additional panels like this one. 

Give this a try when you have your next inky stencil. It will often surprise you.

Snappy Birthday - Water Fun for Just Us Girls

My inspiration today comes from Just Us Girls. It was Word week, and the word was "water" which is perfect for a good summer birthday card.

I love creating waves with torn paper, and especially love the bubbly, frothy edges I get when combining some stickles with those torn edges. 

I added some Ranger Glossy Accents to many of the swim elements that the crocodiles are enjoying. Love these Pink & Main images. 

I hope you have some fun summer creations happening in your crafty space.

Spiral Designed Card for Inspired By

The Inspired By Challenge blog was the inspiration for today's card. How about a little spiral . . . 

I went with some florals, but the fun part of this card was the circular heart die that reminds me of a luminary. 

I love how you can see the light through those tiny hearts. 

I hope you get the chance to be creative today.

Sweetest Birthday Wishes

My card today was inspired by the Make My Monday challenge prompt of food and/or drink. I took the dessert route of cake and ice cream using a set from Pink & Main.

I used pattern papers that were on my table from a previous project. I love how the balloon paper in the background adds to the party theme. Am I the only one who can't throw away pattern paper scraps? They came in handy for this card.

I found myself wanting an ice cream sandwich after making this card (and I don't really even like ice cream sandwiches). 

I hope you find some time to create something fun!

Snappy Birthday

I got a little crafty with my pile of stamped Pink & Main images. Make My Monday's challenge is coloring medium. I had stamped some images a few weeks ago for a different MMM challenge, so I pulled out my bag of images and got to coloring again. I used Copics as my coloring medium for the critters, and then created a watercolor background for my ocean.

Stickles in all the right places, and some Glossy Accents on the mask and the beach ball. 

You all may be seeing more of these gators (crocs) in the next couple of weeks.

I hope you get the chance to get inky!

Give Me a Smile, Crocodile

"Outdoor Summer Fun" is the theme at Make My Monday Challenge. I pulled out some images and got busy creating a scene for some swimmers! 

I started by creating some watercolor waves, and then created my cloudy background piece. 

And then I got busy creating my scene with my die cuts and accents, right down to the Glossy Accents on the snorkel mask. 

I hope you have some time to get crafty or have some summer fun.
