Delicate Doilies

Today is my turn to host the Color Challenge over at Splitcoast. I chose Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, and Melon Mambo with a neutral of either Whisper White or Vanilla. The added dessert option is butterflies.
My card uses all Stampin' Up supplies (except for MS butterflies) and was inspired by one of the samples in the catalog. The first time I used the beveled window frames, with the Four Frames set and Style Beautiful sentiment.

Elements Window Card

To create the window I punched a 1 3/8" square in the front of the Pink Pirouette cardstock. The sentiment is on the inside using a 1 1/4" whisper White square over a 1 3/8" gold square. Elements Of Style flowers and sentiment were embossed in gold. Coloring done with Copic markers. Vine image was clear embossed. This makes a quick and easy one layer card, very easy for mailing. All supplies except markers are Stampin' Up.

Embrace Life

All supplies are Stampin' Up.Pink Pirouette, Pretty In Pink, Basic Black, and Whisper White cardstocks. Vine is from Elements Of Style set in Old Olive. On your Birthday sentiment. The Embrace Life flowers are in Pretty In Pink (center flower that was popped up on dimensionals) and Pink Pirouette. Half pearls added to center.
This is a modified case for today's Queen for the day challenge at SCS honoring Mary (jandjccc).

Cheery Cherry Blossoms

All supplies used were Stampin' Up. Thinking spring may be coming at some point, just not sure when. I have to go and scrape all of the snow off of my car before I hit the road for my errands, sigh...
Based this card on a featured stamper at SCS today, my sweet and supportive friend, Karen (aka Red Bug Driver). I love pink and celery green together, so lovely for a soft and springy card. Enjoy your weekend, hope it is warm and sunny for you wherever you may be.

Style Beautiful Elements

I used a part of the flower from Elements Of Style and the sentiment from Style Beautiful, Springtime Vintage paper. All supplies are Stampin' Up.
This is for a color challenge hosted by Julie where she has challenged us to use Baja Breeze, Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz and Peach parfait. I used a little of the peach in my flower center with pale yellow. Please join us if you can and let me know where I can find your card so I can leave some love!
