Reverse Confetti July Color Challenge {still time to play}

There is still time to play along with the Reverse Confetti July Color Challenge. Have you checked out this month's Challenge?

I have a sample for you. I used the cool new, Perfect Paisley Confetti cuts to make a fun, unique flower to match the inspiration photo. I used Whole Lotta Dots to give my petals some detail.  I layered a vellum scallop circle from Circles 'n Scallops Confetti cuts behind it. The coral circle behind the button is also from that same Confetti Cut set. 

Here is a close up of the custom made flower.

The sentiment is from Lots to Say. I added a pretty woodgrain strip of washi tape and tied on some twine. I decided my card needed a few more pretties, so I created some additional flowers using Petals 'n Posies. I added in more vellum to soften the colors of the flowers. I love how vellum does that. 

I needed to add in the lime green color, so I cut some of the leafy vine from Petals 'n Posies and tucked them in here and there behind the flowers. 

Did you know that there is a vellum challenge with Catered Crop? It's always a fun, no restrictions challenge. Go Check it out! 

Here is the graphic for the Reverse Confetti Color Challenge.

Reverse Confetti {Quirky Cutie Blog Hop}

It's a surprise blog hop with the Reverse Confetti Crew and some additional, coloring rock star Friends! This line of stamps is beyond cute and so fun to color or piece, or just stamp with.  Have you seen the full line of Quirky Cuties? Check them all out HERE.

Hopefully you arrived here from Kim O'Connell's Blog. If not, all the hop details start on the RC Blog. 

Today I used Quirky Cutie: Rocky Raccoon. He's the newest addition to our group of cuties. I have colored him up, and used him just stamped in a solid color, and today, I decided to piece up his outfit. 

 I did add some subtle coloring with my copic markers. Piecing was so easy. I stamped him 4 times. Twice onto  x-press it blending card stock, again on the red polka dot, and another time on the navy polka dot. I cut out each part and start from the back, moving to the front. 

1. Color and cut out one full Rocky image. 
2. Cut out navy polka dot shirt, adhere to full Rocky image.
3. Cut out red polka dot scarf, adhere to navy polka dot shirt. 
4. Cut out arm and envelope and attach to top of navy polka dot. 

I Love a classic navy, red, white, and Kraft color combo. I also added a touch of gold with the striped gold vellum piece. Behind Rocky you'll see the cool new Pretty Panels-Diagonal stripes Confetti Cut piece. I love these new dies. 

To finish this off, I added a sentiment from the Rocky Raccoon stamp set and a few stamped hearts from Arrows 'n Elements and I Like You. 

Thanks a bunch for stopping by today.

•  Be sure to follow along the hop and leave comments along the way.
•  There are 2 GREAT prizes up for grabs. 
• Two random commenters will win a Studio 3 Solutions color cubbie + 3 Quirky Cuties of your choice!

SugarPea Designs {You're So Punny}

One of the many things I love about SugarPea Designs stamps are the fun, cute, punny sentiments included in most of their sets. It's time for the SPD Challenge and this time we are getting Punny! Join me and the rest of the SPD gang for the SPD07-You're So Punny challenge. 

We are a sushi loving family. Sadly, we don't get to eat it very often because with 3 growing boys, eating sushi means ordering LOTS of sushi and THAT is expensive. I've tried making it at home. It's not the same.  So we save it for special occasions. 

With this cute stamp set, Rice Rice Baby,  I can at least have some sushi on paper, whenever I want. I made this for my sister's birthday that is coming up. She loves sushi, too. I thought this was perfect.....and THAT punny sentiment, well it's perfect!

Here is a close up of my cutie penguin. I colored him with some subtle tones of gray Copic markers, and then pieced up his headpiece and sash with my Let's polka dp. I cut him out and popped him up with some dimensionals. 

Check out the challenge!

We only have a few rules…

• Play along with ANY stamp you’d like – Winner is chosen at random to keep things fair, but if the winners project features a SugarPea Designs stamp we will increase the voucher to $15

I colored up the beach bun with my copics and cut him out. I decided to add some 4mm Sand sequins along the shore line. Isn't the texture fun?!

Curtain Call Reminder {anything goes and still time to play}

There is still time to join us for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Anything Goes!  You have until July 25th at 8:00 AM CDT to be inspired and share your project!

I have another card to share. I played up more of the white space and aqua color. I was also inspired by the large letter "c". I used an MFT Die-namics to die cut letters to spell out the word happy. 

Soooooo  many prizes to be had. Just come to play along.

photo source:  decoritdarling.net

I needed a birthday card for a friend, a guy, so as much as I wanted to use the pink from the inspiration photo, I went with some yellow, navy, and gray with the aqua. The word "happy" is from Happy Birthday Die-namics. I cut each letter 3 times and stacked them up to give the dimension I was looking for. The "birthday" sentiment is from Birthday Sentiments. 

I added a balloon duo from Party Balloons and a few enamel dots. The stitched rectangle frame is from Lil' Inker Designs ( I hear they are back in stock.....run and get yours!).

I'm linking this up to the Deconstructed sketch this week. Here 's the layout. 

Current challenge details and link-up for Curtain Call are here. 

Come Play along.
