Really Reasonable Ribbon "OK...Keep It Clean" Card

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Today starts a new challenge over @ Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings!

We are doing a CAS (Clean and Simple) challenge today.

I am getting more comfortable with clean and simple but sometimes it's a challenge because I'm an embellishments kinda girl! :)

Here is my card...

The pretty ribbons are Old Gold Organza and Orange Swirls from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

The stamp is "Fuzzy Ducky" and the sentiment is from "Heartfelt Sentiments" both available @ Clear Dollar Stamps.

The image and sentiment are stamped with Ranger Ink's - Jet Black and Vermilion Archival Inks.

The cardstock is Brilliant White from Discount Card Stock.

The designer paper is form Basic Grey's Picadilly collection.

The sweet little Sparkled Flower is from Creative Charms. (It was white but I colored it with a Copic marker to color match the flowers the ducky is holding.)

I used a touch of Ranger Ink's - Waterfall, Lime Green, and Orange Peel Stickles on the flowers

Basic Grey sent me some extra Pickadilly Page Kits to give away as blog candy. It won't be in the stores until October but you could win some right here from my blog! Just click here and check out THIS POST to see how to enter to win it, and some other goodies. 

I hope you will head on over to our Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings Blog to see the other fun creations the girls have created for you. If you join us, you could win a great prize from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

BTW...you still have a couple of days to join in on our BLOG HOP and possibly win some other crafty goodness!

Thanks for dropping by!

Hugs,

"Fuzzy Ducky"~Another One of My Illustrations

Tweet

Hello!

Hope you are all enjoying the last day of the weekend!

I get to show you another stamp that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps. It is my "Fuzzy Ducky".

Don't you think she's sweet?

She is available as of today @ Clear Dollar Stamps for just $2.49!!!!  That's right....$2.49!!!!!

Lori has also done up several different card kits with her to help you get some cute "Fuzzy Ducky" cards done up quick.

I punched the flowers then colored them with a Tombo marker to get the exact color I wanted. I then curled the petals a little to add shape then made a faux brad out of the same designer paper that I used on the card. The leaves are also punched (from a pointed flower punch, then cut apart) and colored with a Tombow.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

The frame of the main image is popped, I have dimensional flowers, pearls, and ribbon.
