The Spot 151 Slimline Magnolias

Good Morning! I hope you are all doing well. I am refereeing Wesley and Taryn this morning! It is crazy how those two continue to argue and bicker. Hopefully one day Wesley realizes that his job is to protect her and not pick on her! I had a really fun weekend doing a virtual stamping retreat with a group of other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators! There were new friendships made and lots of laughs! It was good for the soul!

This week The Spot Design Team has a fun challenge for you! We are creating Slim Line cards. Craft room confession, this was my first time! I chose to play with products from our Annual Catalog to make todays design! Let me show you what I have created!

My card started with my Early Espresso Ink Pad and Good Morning Magnolia stamp set. I have stamped the large bloom 3 separate times using Early Espresso ink and my Stampin' Blends to color. The leaves used Light Mossy Meadow, Dark Soft Seafoam and Light Soft Seafoam. The Bloom used Ivory, Dark Petal Pink and Light Petal Pink. Once I had all of them colored, I used a blending brush to add a bit of a distressed look with my Soft Suede ink. This is nicely matted onto a Crumb Cake piece of card stock. The oh so delicious Striped Petal Pink Ribbon was a gorgeous addition over the strip of wood DSP from the In Good Taste DSP. A Square Vellum Doily was the perfect touch under the stitched die cut label from the Wild Rose Dies. A few of the Elegant Faceted Dots added a nice finishing touch!

I can't wait for you to see what the rest of my friends have made with this fun and trendy challenge! 

Hope your day is amazing!

TGIF Challenges 220 Sketch Challenge

Happy Friday! Do you have big plans for your weekend? We are heading down to the south east corner of Colorado to celebrate Mr. Tucker's birthday!! It will be fun for sure. The kids will finally get to see the new Toy Story, we plan on hitting the pool and having a game night. The possibilities are endless though!

This week with the TGIF Challenges we have a sketch for you! You can get all the details by clicking below!

I went a bit abstract when interpreting the sketch this week. I had plans to use the design I started for a sketch but when one of my Stampin' Blends ran out of ink   (couldn't get the replacement in time to finish my swaps) I decided to go a different direction, which left me with 21 one of these Good Morning Magnolia stamped using the Wild Rose Dies to mess with... Let me show you what I have for you today!

No matter what I tried while taking pictures I felt like I couldn't get a good shot. The card started with a piece of Thick Whisper White Card Stock. I used the Good Morning Magnolia stamp with Early Espresso ink. It is nicely matted with Early Espresso card stock and Pool Party card base!

Then I chose to use the stitched label like die from the Wild Rose Dies. I only colored what was on that die cut. I have used the Rococo Rose and Old Olive Blends combo's to color the flower. I have accented it with a bit of a Light Pool Party Shadow and Light Crumb Cake Center. It needs a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to set it off! A bit of Linen Thread, Copper Heat Embossed Sentiment and a few pearls and this beauty was done. 

Thank You so much for stopping by today! I can't wait to see all the different interpretations that you come up with this beautiful sketch!
