Creative Knockouts #92: Ribbons & Bows

Good morning stampers! I hope everyone's Thursday is off to a fantastic start. This morning I want to share a new card for this week's Creative Knockouts (#92) where the challenge is....Ribbons and Bows!  This week's sponsor is Lemon Shortbread, and oh yes, there is a prize to be won!

I printed 80's Starry Girl in several different colors when I had digis done up last week. When I first sat down to craft, I somehow started going in two different directions with this card, lol! I did get my act together in the end :) I decided to use one of the colored outline versions, and I only added color to her eyes {yes, on purpose} to make them stand out. This is a graduation card for a friend of mine who is done with college as of last week! I love this sentiment from Verve Stamps - sums up everything I would want to say with one small swoop!

This challenge is for ribbon, and you can see I have ribbon in the background between the 2 layers that pulls those two halves (and the colors!) together. At least, it's supposed to ;)

Lots of dimension to this piece, I used foam tape to pop up the various layers and stars. It's a 5th Saturday (for May) at Sketch Saturday, so if we wanted to play along we had lots of past challenges to choose from (Sketch Saturday #363)! This card follows the Sketch Saturday #216. I also used ColourQ 292 for this week (see swatches, the number is off on the ColourQ graphic):

That's it for me today! Don't forget to swing over to the Creative Knockouts blog to link up your "Sentimentally Yours" projects for your chance to win with Lemon Shortbread! My DT sisters have created some beautiful inspiration, so leave them some love too!

Challenges:

Penny's Papercrafty - #230: Anything Goes (entry 1 of 3)
Crafting Cafe - #119: Graduation (non-traditional, but my intent was Graduation for this card, to give to my sweet friend for powering through her degree!)

I'll be back here tomorrow with a new challenge from Simply Papercraft. So many awesome upcoming challenges and fun events! Stamp happy! 

Simply Papercraft #5

TGIF crafters! I have had a very nice but BUSY week with kiddo end of school year stuff, awards, competitions, field trips....plus house and work and all that jazz too. BUT I did get in some great crafting time, and today I'm sharing a new card for Simply Papercraft. Our bi-weekly challenges are ALWAYS "Anything Goes". I love this! Makes it easy and fun to combine challenges and really show off your best work. This week's challenge is "Clean and Simple (CAS) and is sponsored by DeeDee's Digis and Jiggery Makery. As always, fantastic prizes are up for grabs! Free stamps? Yes please!

I used this cute cute cute image from the set Right on Track from DeeDee's Digis. My little guy LOVES all things even remotely associated with trains so I knew this had to be made into a little boy's birthday card ASAP!

This card uses the current sketch from Sketch Saturday (#361) and the current color combo from the Color Throwdown (#CTD343). Perfect for boy cards!! Here are the inspiration pieces:

Other challenges for today:

Simply Papercraft #3 with Sassy Studio

TGIF! And today, the "goodness" is in the form of a new challenge over at Simply Papercraft! This is Challenge #3, and our theme is "Lots of Layers". As always, you can also submit Anything Goes cards to our challenge as well. The challenge is being sponsored by Sassy Studio and A Day For Daisies this time around. You can visit the Simply Papercraft blog for the challenge link up and prize details! My card features a lovely image from Sassy Studio called Snow Queen Portrait!

Isn't she lovely? What a fun image to color. And yes, we saw Frozen no less than 5 times (as my kids can confirm). ;) 

The sketch for this card comes from the current Sketch Saturday Challenge (Sketch Saturday #357). Here's the sketch:

Love it! Great inspiration by the Design Team over there as well.

That's all for me for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful day AND a fun-filled weekend. Thanks for stopping by!
