Lighten it up

Hi everyone! today starts a new challenge at Cupcake Inspiration. This one wasn't quite in my wheel house.

The Sweeties would like to lighten up your creations and make it pastel. I am a bright color girl, so I really had to tone things down a bit.

My card uses something old and something kinda new. I used "Wish Big" by Essentials by Ellen now retired and "Birthday Palooza" by Simon Says Stamp.

You have two weeks to lighten things up with our pastel color challenge at Cupcake Inspiration!

 

Cake and eat it too!

Happy Monday everyone. I just got back from a week at the beach. I lucked out and it did not rain at all. Needless to say I am a bit burnt- no, I am a lot burnt.

It's a new week and Inky Paws is having a sketch challenge this week. Unlike me, Newton's cake came out perfect and is not burnt.

My card is a very literal interpretation of the sketch and I used "Newton loves cake" from Newton's Nook. This CAS card with it's bright colors and glittery frosting makes me happy.

Head on over to Inky Paws and join in our new sketchchallenge. We will chose a RANDOM entry to win a $20.00 Newton's Nook store gift certificate. Our favorite entries from each challenge will be highlighted the following Monday, so all entries have a chance to be featured on the blog.

The deadline to enter today's challenge is this Friday, May 31, 2019 at MN CST. The winners will be announced on the following Monday at Inky Paws.

Cat Scratch Baking

Hi folks!! Guess what?!!? No more school for this girl until May 21!! Yipeeeeeeee!!!! So to kick off my mini vacation I joined in the fun over at Inky Paws!! They are having a color challenge.And they couldn't have picked more awesome colors than they did! Green (the most beautiful color in the world!!), orchid, violet and periwinkle blue. 

 These are great colors, but I have to admit they area bit tough to match up with copics. I love my copics, I really do, but the selection of purples leaves a bit to be desired.

 

It didn't stop me though. I made do. For today's card I used Newton loves cake. The 4 tiered cake called for the challenge colors. ikeptNewton in a neutral gray so as not to distract from the cake. And isn't everything better with glitter and bling? So I added some glitter to the cake and bling.

Loved how this card turned out. Head over to Inky Paws and check out what the DT and others created.

As much as I would love to stay in and stamp, gotta head out and enjoy one the best days we have had all year here in Pennsylvania.
