SugarPea Designs / Mix it Up Challenge #33

Welcome!  I am here sharing a card using the July Mix it Up Challenge from SugarPea Designs over at the SugarPea Designs blog.  Make sure to check out the blog for all the details!

Since the 4th of July has passed, I went with just the sketch for this month's challenge!  

I used Summer Scoops and coordinating Summer Scoops SugarCut dies.  I've layered my scoops (all stamped with pigment inks from Fresh Ink) onto a Zig Zag Stitched Circle SugarCut where my sentiment was stamped on the curve of the circle.  My circle was layered onto a pattern panel of paper from It's a Celebration paper pad and added to my notecard.  To finish the sketch, I added some banners from Party Banner Duo and stamped some hearts from Whatever the Weather.

Here's the inspiration and sketch for this month's challenge!

Avery Elle / Modern Alpha

Hello!  I am sharing a card that can be seen over on the Avery Elle blog today using Modern Alpha.

I wanted to really showcase these new Modern Alphas by adding them to my card via a sentiment strip and foam adhesive.  I stamped the blooms from Tropics in various shades of Avery Elle Pigment Inks (Magenta, Mimosa, Fizz, Aquamarine) and overstamped with a subtle ink called Fog (dye ink) from Avery Elle.  My alphas were also stamped in the various pigment inks and die cut using the Modern Alpha Elle-ments.  To finish, I added tiny black dots with a fine tip Sharpie.

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Today I am sharing the newest stamp sets from illustrator, Dawn Machell.  Every release brings us the cutest stamps!  This release we have dinosaurs, princess, dragons, and castles!

The first set is called No Tomorrow along with coordinating No Tomorrow Confetti Cuts.  The dinosaur images were watercolored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  To create my scene, I've used the new Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cuts and added a piece of pattern paper from Under the Umbrella.  My scene was adhered to an Avocado cardstock panel that was layered with pattern paper from Pattern Play.  The left edge was die cut with the zig zag die from Edge Essentials Confetti Cuts.

The second set today is called Magical Day and Magical Day Confetti Cuts.  I started by creating the background with Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet Distress Inks and a spritz of shimmer spray.  The princess was colored with Copics and added to the new Hello Square Confetti Cuts.  To finish, I added some Winter Sparkle Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

We are starting this release off with a gorgeous floral set called Build a Bunch and its coordinating Build a Bunch Confetti Cuts.  This set is sure to get some love from me!  I can't stop white heat embossing florals and watercoloring them using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  It's just effortless!  I layered all my blooms onto a pinked circle die cut from Flowers for Mom Confetti Cuts.  I use this basic shape ALL THE TIME.  Here it's perfect for layering my blooms ahead of time and then adding them to a top folding notecard that was layered with a panel of Mist Cardstock and the new Squared Off Cover Panel.  I went bold with the sentiment, from Sentiment Essentials, done in crisp black Versafine ink and die cut.  After adding my sentiment to the panel, I added some clear sparkling confetti from Pretty Pink Posh.

Avery Elle / Vellum Layering

 

Hello!  I am sharing a card that can be seen over on the Avery Elle blog today using Sentimental Too.

If this card looks muted, it is!  I've done some "Vellum Layering".  I love to do this technique to "soften" the look of a pattern paper that I want to use but is just too bold for the card.  Here I've trimmed down a grey polka dot paper from The Neutral Collection and a piece of vellum, both of which were die cut with the Double Pierced Rectangles Elle-ments.  My The main image from Floral Bouquet was white heat embossed and colored in with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  This was added so that I could adhere my vellum panel over the polka dot paper.  My sentiment comes from Sentimental Too and I just LOVE this set!  It has coordinating smaller sentiments that you can pair either with a die cut word or the same word but in a stamp!  I decided to white heat emboss the smaller sentiments onto dark grey cardstock and trim the ends at an angle and then I added the die cut word "you" along with some clear sparkling confetti from Pretty Pink Posh.

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!
