Painter’s Palette

Hi everyone!  I know…it’s Sunday and I usually don’t post on Sunday but I wanted to get in one the Casology challenge from this past week before it closed!  The Cue Card was “abstract” and I knew right away what I wanted to do!

Aren’t those swishes just THE BEST!  Here’s the details…

  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Whisper White – 3 5/8 x 4 7/8, stamp largest swish with Flirty Flamingo, medium swish with Peek-a-boo Peach and smallest one with Pool Party, stamp greeting in Memento Black, layer onto Pool Party 3 3/4 x 5, add to card front using dimensionals
  • Add some silver metallic enamel stars to finish off

Hope you didn’t blink…that is all there is to it!

Set(s): Painter’s Palette

Bunch of Blossoms

CreateBannerSU16HopWelcome

Welcome everyone to the Create with Connie and Mary Design Team Saturday Blog Hop.  Happy July to everyone!  This week we are featuring the LAST of the new incolors – Dapper Denim.

SatHopDapper

This was inspired sort of, in a round about way, by the new navy and white dsp.  I think that is just so clean and crisp looking that I went monochromatic!

Here’s the details…

  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 folded
  • Whisper White – 3 1/4 x 4 1/4, stamp greeting and ‘swishes’ using Dapper Denim
  • Dapper Denim Envelope dsp – 5/8 x 4 1/4, add behind right side of panel
  • Dapper Denim Runched Ribbon – three small pieces, fold in half, add behind left side of panel, add panel to card front using dimensionals
  • Whisper White – cut out small bold butterfly thinlit, add to card front using dimensionals, add Dapper Denim Enamel Heart to butterfly to finish it off.

You know…I really tried to add more to this card.  No seriously I tried!  But I ended up taking the extra stuff off…just didn’t really make it dressier looking…just clutter.  Sometimes simple is best!

Speaking of simple…it is simple to subscribe to the Create with Connie and Mary July (and August) mini session!
