Monday again! At least there is the {Hippity} Hop to brighten everybodys Monday! Today I used {ippity} sets Devoted and Love in Return - both for sale here. I used the sketch from Taylored Expressions challenge. I tried to keep it pretty simple to let the sentiment take center stage. TFL!
Hello All, and thanks for playing along with Unity's Friends with flair! My card today uses both Unity and {ippity}. I love this little retro flower stamp that came with the April '10 KOM and decided to pair it with the "fabulous" sentiment from {ippity}'s 'Where You Should Be' set. I decided to use the colors from the Play Date Cafe (I may even have to use this color story again - LOVE these colors together!) and the sketch from CPS. 
Well I tried to use no embellies at all for the OLW3 challenge at the Simplicity blog, and I almost did it! But then I had to put a couple little pearls in the saying - I couldn't help myself! :-) The main focus of the challenge was to use the extra punctuation that always comes with stamping sets (and are always forgotten about!) I kinda cheated because the brackets on the sentiment were already a part of the stamp. Both stamps are from {ippity} the sentiment from the Love in Return set and the heart from Music of my Heart both are for sale on my {ippity} blog. A really clean and simple card. Thanks for looking!
I didn't plan for it to be a two post day, but, as I was blog hopping, boy are there some great blogs out there! I came across this blog http://simplicitybylateblossom.blogspot.com/ and decided to play along with the great challenge there while watching Lost. The one layer challenge is always tough - it just doesn't seem finished until there are layers, lol! For this card I chose to use Regal Greetings by {ippity} just click on the link to purchase. The twist for this challenge was to use flock or glitter, so I choose glitter. I added some crystals for a little bling adding a little demension and color without adding layers. 
I am uploaded this early even though this was a Mother's Day request from my Mom (I will give a shout out to her - Hi Mom!) My cousin found this stamp set at a garage sale - it had no name on it and love to be able to give credit where credit is due - so if anyone happens to know who made it, please let me know. I have a picture of the whole set down below. Anyway - I digress - I kept the card fairly simple so the focus is on the flapper girl. I stamped her then paper pieced her dress from DP and cardstock. She was holding a fan in her hand so I cut a small slit next to her dress to anchor some small feathers I got from AC Moore. I hate how photos sometime change the colors around - the feathers are a much better match to the dress in RL - oh well. This card was perfect for a couple challenges - which is why it is getting posted earlier and Mom is getting a different one! :) It is for the Stamptacular Sunday , Cowgirl's very first challenge(Congrats), and for the OCC challenges(not a flower in sight!). 
This one is done using {ippity} Because of you (for sale here) for the Sketch Girl sketch and Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge (a love card). I kept it pretty simple as the stamp syas it all "so in love with you" The only other embellishment I did was a few pearls on the heart to help it pop out.
