PPA139

Time for another PPA challenge!  This challenge is a sketch challenge, see below!

Here is the card I came up with for the challenge.  I love using the new Stampin' Up!  embossing folders; I seem to incorporate them into most of my cards lately!  Also, framelits are becoming my new favorite item.  I don't like to cut out things with a scissors, so the framelits are perfect for me...no cutting!

Here is an upclose view of my medallion 'layer'.

JULY PALS BLOG HOP

It's time for some fun in the sun with the Pals! Glad you could join us for the Pals Summer Sunshine Blog Hop! You've probably hopped over from Nina Dee's blog, I'm stop number 18 on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in!

The PALS hop today is the theme of summer.  When I think of summer, I always think of flowers.  The card I created today is all about flowers.  The dahlia adornmets added the touch I was looking for!

Here are the items used for the card:
Paper:  Very vanillia, Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse cardstock and Comfort Cafe DSP
Stamp Set:  Embellished Events and Curly Cute
Punches: Ornament punch, scallop cornor and decorative label punch
Ink:  Midnight Muse, Gumball green and soft suede
Embellishments:  Dahlia adornments

I put the "vase" through the bigshot with one of the new embossing folders in the new Stampin' Up! catalog and used a sponge dauber with champange mist on it to give it a little sparkle!

PPA 138

Today's challenge incorporates the above colors from Stampin' Up!  I made a Birthday card with all three colors.  Notice the paper piericing around the "Happy Birhday" sediment.  I love using the new paper piercing pack that just came out in the new annual catalog.  No more guessing in lining up the dots!  Thanks for stopping by!
