My buddy Linda has a fun new sketch for everyone this week at
Freshly Made Sketches. I love simple sketches because it really allows my mind to think up so many possibilities! I did struggle to narrow down what I wanted to do this week, but as I was waking up yesterday I got an idea for a card. I love when that happens.
My idea was to make a shaker card using the Candy Conversations a la carte stamp from the new Mini catalog. I LOVE candy hearts, so this stamp was on my very first order from the catalog. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out quite like what I wanted as I am not feeling very creative lately. I know I had mentioned that I wanted to stamp every day this month, but it just hasn't happened. Hopefully I will get around to doing it a bit more. I've just been so discouraged with my results lately that I've been avoiding my room. I do think I'll try the idea again in some different colors. Pretty in Pink is just not a color that I like that much so maybe that's why I'm not loving my card.
I hope you'll come play along with us this week! I'm off to find some candy now. :)
I'll try to post a few pictures of the new things I picked up for the baby this week and some ideas I had for the wall color of the nursery. I know a few of you warned me about the gray, but Pinterest has me determined to make it happen!
I think it's a very cute card Rita. You just need to try to appreciate the colour pink more (especially now, because there's a good chance that will be her favourite colour!)
ReplyDeleteLove the colourful candy hearts inside the shaker.
I think it's a gorgeous design. The navy compliments the pink perfectly and I'm loving all the hearts. x
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me?? This is wildly creative and stinkin' cute, Sassy! What a clever idea to make a heart shaker card and I love the tone on tone hearts in the background. Fantastic card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I love the idea of making this into a shaker card. And all those little hearts are precious. You did a great job with the sketch. Good luck with getting your stamping mojo back - it's tough to feel motivated in the winter. Keep stamping! :)
ReplyDeleteI love those shake-able hearts :) And I'm with Nance - the hearts on the side panel are a wonderful detail! Love this!
ReplyDeleteDear Rita.. I hope your candy tatsted good :) I loved seeing your card. I would not have thought of pink and blue but they look great together. And your card really has style and a sweet elegance to it. So well done. Don`t be to hard on yourself. :) I am sure it will give a smile on someone`s face..
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful rest of your day!
Inky hugs, Pauline

ReplyDeleteOh my word, Rita...this is awesome! It totally looks like a pack of candy hearts. The no calories kind, so it's even better!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic, Rita! I love the colors and the hearts in the sweetheart cups as well as on the panel itself - what incredible detail!!!! Hope you are enjoying San Antonio!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Fantastic card. Such a cute and clever way to showcase the 'candy' hearts. Thanks for sharing! This is a CASE'ing card, for sure.
