As always, please feel free to incorporate any neutrals that you need in your design as well!

The April Stock you Stash challenge from Reverse Confetti is Moms, Dads, and Grads....last week I shared a dad card on the RC so this week I thought I would add a mom card to my stash. I LOVE the Tulips set and I colored up three of the flower bouquets and buckets in the challenge colors with my Zip Clean Color Brush markers. 

I added strip of Sweet Stripes paper to ground my flower buckets and then topped them with the Mom & Dad Confetti Cut  in Rose card stock. I finished off the sentiment with a "with love" from the Tulips stamp set. (all affiliate links are listed below. They are provided FREE OF CHARGE if you choose to shop and help support my blog. I am forever grateful for you). 

Hope you and yours is doing well and staying healthy. We are surviing here in Cinci and thankful it is Spring Break with beautiful Spring weather. 

Check out the beautiful creations from the team this week! They are sure to inspire you, they always inspire me!! Have fun creating, we cannot wait to see what you come up with using these colors!

Sketch For You To Try #2 {rockstar}

I couldn't wait for my new Reverse Confetti stamps to get here, so I could get my card done for this month's SFYTT. I love the layout. It was simple and has a large circle element and it was a great way to show off the cool new Inner Rock Star  and Arrows -n- Elements Stamp sets. I wanted all the newly released sets, but a girls gotta have a budget. These are the two new ones I picked up this month. 

Dare I say it?? Yep, I used the Atlantic papers for my background on this card. I just love that there are soooo many great patterns that can be used for many different styles of cards. See, not all of them need to be nautical or fishie themed. 

I cut out the black rectangle with the 3x4 Insert It Die-namics and then run it thru my Vagabond with a Chevron embossing folder. The circle is from Blueprints3, the piercing around the edges gave my circle the extra something to show off the stamps. 

I stamped the sentiment twice, once in Black Licorice ink and again in Crisp Cantaloupe. I cut out the flag part of the sentiment and popped it up with some foam dimensionals, right over the top of the black. I then added in some yellow by stamping the stars randomly around the edges. I added a few more stars on the backdrop in Black to help balance my design.

I stamped the guitar in Smokey Slate ink, cut it out and then gave it a spritz of the Sheer Shimmer Mist. This is a rocker card, after-all! It needed just a touch of GLAM!

I love how Jen designed the Arrows -n- Elements stamp set to have the bits and parts work together. The Flag pieces are separate images, but they match up with the diagonals of the rectangle frame. ♥ that!

There are still a few more days to play along with the July SFYTT . Check it out.
