Nachos: Hello Love

Happy Tuesday!  It is time once more for a Nacho Average Sketch Challenge, woohoo!  Check it out:


Once again, a great sketch that you can use to make a CAS card or gussy it up to something fancy.  I stayed more on the CAS end of the spectrum:


I don't know why I waited so long to get the hostess set Hello Love, it's super cute.  So I'm using it as much as I can before all the stamps retire.  And the colors, I used Strawberry Slush for my card base and some retiring Confetti Celebration DSP.

Now it's time for you to check out the Nacho blog and upload your own sketchariffic creation.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.  Cheers, peeps!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Hello Love
Ink:  Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush
Paper:  Strawberry Slush, Whisper White, Confetti Celebration DSP
Accessories:  Circles Framelits, Neutrals Candy Dots, Dimensionals

Sunny Butterfly

I think I'm on a butterfly kick...this is two days in a row.  It's only going to get worse, too--one of the top three stamp sets I can't wait to get my hot little hands on in the new catty is all about the butterflies.  And new butterfly Framelits.  But for now let's have a sunny day:


I inked up the sentiment stamp in Pear Pizzazz and used a Q-Tip to remove the color from a couple of key words, which I then colored with a Bermuda Bay marker.  I don't think I quite got all the Pear Pizzazz ink off though, because parts of the Bermuda words have a distinct greenish cast.  But I'm all like hey, it's an extra color freebie!

Speaking of colors (or should I say colours?), I got this awesome colour palette from Colour Me...!


They're having a design team call right now and I was thinking that I'd love to put my hat in the ring to try out for it, but we're moving in a couple of weeks.  But then I just saw that the DT commitment doesn't start until July, and that might be doable.  Hmm...

Anywha, I also used the sketch from Fab Friday:


I love how there are different challenges every day of the week; my only problem is that a lot of times I need an extra six or seven days in the week to play in all of them, even with combining two or three at a time.  Life is so tough ;)

Hope you have a sunny day, peeps!  We're off to my hubs' cousin's high school graduation tonight.  I'll be wearing a fun springy floral dress.  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Butterfly Basics, Feel Goods, Hello Love

P.S.  I now have the theme song to Sesame Street stuck in my head.  "Sunny days...."

Happy Butterfly

Salutations and greetings, friends!  Just trying out a new greeting.  It is a sunny Wednesday morning here and I just so happen to have a sunny card to share.


See?  Sunny.  I'm loving Daffodil Delight lately.  For my butterfly, I got some watercolor paper and did a wash on it with Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango ink refills, though I kinda wish I'd sponged the edges of the butterfly a little to give them more definition.  I wanted a solid butterfly, so I cut out one of the fancy butterfly Thinlits and then used the negative shape to trace the butterfly on the back of my watercolor paper (so then I could cut it out and not have to worry about pen lines on the edges).  The sentiment is from the soon-to-retire hostess set Hello Love, which I got last month and hadn't used at all yet; it's got some cute images so I do hope to get something made with it in the next couple weeks.

Anyway, the super cheerful color combo is courtesy of ColourQ:


And I used the latest Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch:


I stuck very close to the sketch this time :D

Anyway, lots to do today so I'd better get a move on.  Cheers, peeps!
