TAWS BE Inspired #7

YES!! I NEED this bag.. I am in love with it.. :) well it's that fun time again TAWS BE Inspired Challenge.. and what better way to BE Inspired then by rays, and a purse.. right? Here is what I came up with..

Well of course I took the rays as my inspiration.. I also used the oval and created a circle behind the flamingo to help ground her. I wanted the sentiment to have beautiful more muted colors instead of the harshness of black. I paper pierced each ray to give it a little more interest. 

On thing fun about this Tropic Topic set.. is there is an extra eye. This was made for the purpose that you can replace any of the animals with their eyes closed to having them opened.. so that's what I did.. and I love how it turned out! I used the Alphabet Soup, and Hey Cupcake for the sentiment.

On Cloud 9

When I saw the colors for the Play Date Cafe.. I knew instantly what I wanted to do.. they are so fun and fresh.. I couldn't wait to play along.. Also at CAS-ual Fridays they are having a "let's strip" challenge.. so I got the idea for the sky from them.. I really wanted to add some interest to my card, since I knew it was going to be a CAS card.. so I used felt for the clouds.. and popped the little one up on pop dots. The 9 was taken out of the strips of paper used to make the sky. I also popped the whole sky piece up so that they 9 would be shadowed.. I wanted to use the yellow under the 9 but didn't want just a plain yellow.. so I found a piece of old ledger in one of the paper packs I had. I love how it turned out.. just gives it a tiny bit more interest.. I was so inspired by one of my favorite cards ever.. from my friend BARB.. she rocked this card here... that I new right away that I wanted to case it and make it my own.. :) 

I loved the card, but felt like it needed just a little something more.. so I decided to paper pierce the edges.. giving it just a little bit more, without adding anymore color.. 

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend..

Red, White, and Blue.. friend

Hey everyone! I hope you are enjoying the Sneak Peeks at The Alley Way Stamps.. Today is the last day to see what is new and do the Hop! Hope you will join us.. 

Well I have to tell you I was totally inspired by Danielle Daws creation she just made using some of the new TAWS stamps.. that I had to make a creation myself..

I wanted to enter this into the WOW embossing powder June Challenge.. I know it's the "best of the British" but lucky for me.. hehe.. that is the USA colors as well.. so I thought.. hmm.. how can I use the embossing powders that I have in a creative and fun way.. so I did 2 things.. 

First.. the middle strip of chevrons.. the red and white are embossed.. I didn't have navy blue, or I would have used that as well.. I sectioned it off and used it to make different colored little chevrons.. I love how it turned out.. I wanted this piece to stand out a little bit more so I popped it up on some pop dots.. As I was looking at it I thought.. it needed a sentiment.. so I went to my stash of red cardstock.. and NOTHING matched.. so I did what everyone would do.. improvised.. I inked up the little banner solid with red embossing powder.. then I inked up my sentiment "friend" using versamark ink. BEFORE heating I stamped the word into the dry embossing powder.. this lifted the red from the white cardstock to revile the sentiment. I like how it turned out.. then I heat embossed it! :) 

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.. HUGS

 Yes! I have another sneak peek.. I used the new July set from The Alley Way Stamps called Alphabet Soup. I just love making cards with words all over them.. so I decided to go with a "love" theme.. I knew I wanted to use the color pink to play along with CAS-ual Friday.. so that is where the colors came from..

I really wanted that "pop" of color..
