Inspired

 Every time I saw an all white card I wanted to try it. Lydia Fiedler from Splitcoast has a lot of them on Pinterest for the Dare to Get Dirty challenges. Time to give it a try. I pulled out everything I thought I might use and this is the end result. The larger flowers were made using the discards from the Spellbinders. Hope you like it.

Friends with Flair!

The first card was for Chick Challenges with Ippity. I found some plum colored cardstock and I had some Colorbox raisin ink and decided to try stamping tone on tone. I honestly didn't know what would happen. I like how it turned out. The dots on the background were made with a pencil eraser. 

I really like the triple layer stamping technique so I decided to try it with paper. I cut the paper to fit the card then cut descending 1/2" 'frames'. I matted the frames on the red cardstock and stacked them. I finished it off with some ribbon, a flower, and a tag. 

There is a sale at Unity on all the Susan K. Weckesser stamps. They're 35% off!

And it's not too late to join in on Maria Levine's Got {Ippity}? blog hop. See the post here.

Not much time this morning so just a couple cards using Unity kit of the month.. My daughter is taking her driving test again and need to practice parallel parking. What does parking have to do with driving anyway? Wish her luck!

Challenges

A couple of challenge cards.

This one is for the new Unity challenge to make a wedding card. I saw this technique on a few blogs and had to try it. 

This card is for the Authentique sketch and the Stamp It! Cards Congratulations Challenge. It's hard to tell but this card is popped up twice. The center block and the 'congratulations' are on pop dots.
