Timeless Tuesday #226

Hi everyone! Broni is hosting our Timeless Tuesday challenge this week and her theme is to "make a splash"....use anything water related on your card such as water images, watercoloring, etc.

For my card I used an image and sentiment from Seaside Life:

The card base is Flourishes classic white, papers are Paradise Beach by Echo Park, the seashell is stamped in Memento desert sand and the sentiment is in Memento tuxedo black.  The circle and scallop circle are both up on separate layers of foam tape.  I added some machine stitching, kraft jute, and dew drops (watery, right?) to finish it off.

On a personal note, this will be my last post as part of the Timeless Tuesday team. I've decided to take (at least) the summer off from blogging.  Tomorrow will be my last post as part of the Color Throwdown team as well.  Thank you to Jan Marie and everyone on the FTTC team. It's been an honor to be a part of Flourishes.  Thank you to all of you who visit my blog to see my Flourishes creations as well.

Check out all the splashy projects the girls have created for you today:

Timeless Tuesday #225

Hi all!  I'm hosting this week's Timeless Tuesday challenge, and my challenge to you is to create a card or project with scallops.  Simple as that!

Here's my card:

I used the newly released S'more Fun. The image and sentiment are stamped in Memento tuxedo black onto some patterned paper from my Fair Skies paper pad, I added a couple die-cut scallop strips in black and white, a stitched flag and brad up in the corner, and rounded the corners of the classic white card base.  I love this layout....so simple and quick!

Timeless Tuesday #224

Hi everyone.  It's Day 1 of Flourishes' sneak peeks AND you'll get an opportunity to WIN our entire new June release just by playing along. For the remainder of this week, we will be sharing our newest stamp sets with you on the Flourishes Blog.

Since Sneak Peek Day 1 overlaps with the Timeless Tuesday Challenge, we have some amazing projects showcasing our newest beautiful floral set by Marcella Hawley.

This set features a spray of wildflowers along with some wonderful heartfelt sentiments.

For this challenge, create a card or project that moves or opens in a non-traditional manner (FTTC224).  Give it a third panel like a tri-fold card or give it a greeting tag that pops up when you pull a ribbon.  There are lots of fun tutorials for different kinds of "fun folds" you can try.  Hop on over to the Flourishes Blog where you can find a list of clickable links.

For my project, I made a 4.25" easel card.

Today we have both our Flourishes Finest Design Team AND our Friends of Flourishes Team sharing their "Open Sesame" inspirations with you.  Take a moment and leave some love on all of our designers' blogs...because there's another way to win this week.  Hidden among the Design Team is one designer who has this set to give away.  Comment on that blog and you could win today's beautiful Picking Wildflowers set.  :)

Timeless Tuesday #223

Hi everyone. It's Timeless Tuesday challenge time and our challenge this week is to make a card/project using fruits or veggies...something from your garden.

 

I made a 5.25" square card and used images from Wild For Watermelon. The card base and main image is classic ivory CS, the main image was stamped in Memento tuxedo black and colored with Copics (Dogwood and Green Grass Collections plus a W1 for shading underneath the watermelon), and the papers, large rhinestone button and ribbons are from my Prairie Chic 1-2-3 Create Kit.  The navy scallop oval is up on foam tape and the layout is Deconstructed Sketch #103.

Timeless Tuesday #222

Hi everyone. Our Timeless Tuesday challenge this week is being hosted by Deborah and she's challenging us to make a card/project with a "summer days" theme. Summer is my favorite season so I was excited about this one.

For my card, I used my most favorite Flourishes set; Wild For Watermelon. It's such a fun set!  The watermelon was stamped on classic white CS in Memento tuxedo black and colored Copics from my Dogwood, Green Grass, and Warm Neutral Collections.  The main image was die-cut with a Spellbinders blossom die and popped up on foam tape.  The green patterned paper and wide pink ribbon are from my Prairie Chic 1-2-3 Create Kit.  It's finished off with some pink twine and machine stitching.

Timeless Tuesday #221

Hi all! It's a BUTTERFLY theme for this week's Timeless Tuesday Challenge. Loooooooove butterflies so I was really excited about this one!  :)

 

I stamped three butterflies from Old Tea Rose with Memento cocoa onto classic ivory CS. They were then colored with Copics from the Dogwood Collection, cut out by hand, and popped up on foam tape.  The patterned paper, ivory crochet ribbon, and the pink rhinestone button are from my Prairie Chic 1-2-3 Create Kit. I added some pink twine and Stickles to the butterflies to finish it off.

Timeless Tuesday #220

It's Timeless Tuesday and Broni is our hostess. She's picked a color challenges for us this week....blues and greens....ahhhhh, love blues and greens together!

 

For my card, I used one of the stamp sets from Flourishes' April release, Bees and Blooms. The flower is stamped in Memento bamboo leaves on classic white CS, the sentiment is stamped in Memento tuxedo black, it's die cut with a Spellbinders blossom die, and popped up on foam tape.  The patterned papers, denim ribbon, and green plaid ribbon are all from the new Prairie Chic 1-2-3 Create Kit.  Some "crazy stitching" with my sewing machine and some adhesive pearls finish it off.

Hi all!  Ally is our hostess for this week's Timeless Tuesday challenge and she has a really fun one for us; one where depending on your birthday month, you have a different set of elements to add to your card/project. Hop on over to the FTTC blog for all the specifics and I hope you can join us.

Here's my little 4.25" square note card using a sentiment from Old Fashioned Florals:

Hi everyone!  Broni is hosting our Timeless Tuesday challenge this week (FTTC #215) and her challenge is to include something on our projects that we would find anywhere in our "house."  Here's my card...

FTTC209--Glitter and Shine

Hey, that rhymes...FTTC 209, Glitter and Shine.  :)  How are you all doing today?  Hope your week is off to a good start.  We had a nice weekend; went out with some old friends on Friday night, I got the grocery shopping out of the way on Saturday, and then on Sunday got myself to the gym (hubby and I are having a weekly "biggest loser" contest between ourselves....and this week, I won...yayyy!), we watched the Daytona 500, and I had some good crafting and cooking time during the race.  One of the cards I made is this one for this week's Timeless Tuesday...

The sentiment is from Inside and Out Happy and it's stamped on classic ivory CS.  The main image is popped up on foam tape and I added some turquoise organza roses. For the glitter and shine challenge, I added adhesive finesse rhinestones as well as some Stickles under the word "happy" and in the centers of the flowers in the DP.  The layout is Deconstructed Sketch #90.

FTTC207 Love You

Good morning, everyone. This week's Timeless Tuesday Challenge from Maki is to use hearts on our projects.  After I saw THIS adorable card that my friend Dawn made, I just had to CASE the layout. Here's my card:

I changed it up a bit to make it my own with an aqua color scheme and I used two hearts since I didn't have a big enough heart die like she used on her card.  Stamps are Flourishes' "Inside and Out You" and the card base is Flourishes' Classic White CS.
