It's Your Rivetting Birthday

This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 394 - Tags.
My layout is from Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 404.
My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 394 - Navy Pacific Sand.
My panel 3 is sahara sand dry embossed with Seeing Spots embossing folder then I inked the raised spots with pacific point ink for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 396 - Make Your Own Polka Dots.
I embossed the night of navy used for panel 2 with Swiss Dots embossing folder. I stamped the image from Riveting once in night of navy and then in pacific point ink then on the night of navy image I did 2 step stamping with sahara sand after stamping off once. I used circle punches to punch the entire image in night of navy then just the center image from pacific point. I popped both circles up on dimensionials. The sentiment is from "It's Your Birthday" and is stamped in pacific point.
Hope you like it.

Baby Boy Congrats

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 404. My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 394 - Navy Pacific Sand.
My night of navy panel was punched using the smaller size of my crop-a-dile, then the dots were glued to the pacific point panel for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 396 - Make your own Polka Dots.
I found the piece of dp from a stash of Martha Stewart paper I have had for eons. The button with the hemp bow is from My Favorite Things Button Quartet die set. My sentiment is from SU Congrats and is stamped in night of navy. I used a corner punch for the focal panel.

Masculin Congrats

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 397 - Navy Pacific Sand, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 396 - Make Your Own Polka Dots and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 189 - Sketch.
I used an eraser dabbed in vanilla craft ink on night of navy cs for polka dots and my crop-a-dile punched circles off night of navy glued onto pacific point cs for the other panel. My sentiment is stamped in pacific point on sahara sand base. I did some paper piercing in 3 of the corners.
I think this will make a nice masculin greeting card. Ya know men don't like a lot of frilly stuff on their cards, it threatens their masculinity. LOL.

Triple Treat Flower with Polka Dots

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 396 - Make Your Own Polka Dots. I made the top layer with pink pirouette cs beneath the primrose petal after punching holes with a hole puncher, then for the pink pirouette panel below that one I glued the punched out holes from primrose petals.
My flower is stamped in primrose petals onto pink pirouette cs then cut out and popped up. I used a button threaded with twine for the center.
My layout is from today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 189 - Sketch and my colors are from last Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 393 - Lucky Primrose Pirouettes since they were still on my work table that is what I used.
Now off to work.

Rolled Ribbon Flower Because I Care

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 403.
My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 393 - Lucky Primrose Pirouettes.
My rolled pink pirouette ribbon flower is for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 395 - Rolled Flowers.
I guess taking almost 3 weeks off did me some good. I saw today's sketch and immediately saw panel 2 and 3 being held together by a button and ribbon so I went for it. I had been dying to try the rolled ribbon flower anyway and really like how this one turned out. I used a quickutz button in the center threaded with some cotton candy baker's twine.
My sentiment is stamped in primrose petals ink.
Hope you like it.
RECIPE:
Stamps: Because I Care - SU
Paper: primrose petals
