Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge featuring The Paper Nest Doll's "Sweetheart Ellie"



Hello! Hope you're all having a great Tuesday.  My week has been a busy one getting ready for school and all the events happening this week.  I hope I will last! LOL

Anyways, I am going to get right into our challenge for the week which is " Use your favorite Color Combo"!!! 

Our fabulous sponsor for this week's challenge is Sweet 'N Sassy and The Paper Nest Dolls!

 and 

Here is my card...


I had so much fun with this challenge and actually I have a lot of favorite combos.  However, one of my all time favorites are the combo of Pink and Black.  So I decided to go with that and feature a darling image by The Paper Nest Dolls called "Sweetheart Ellie".  Isn't she super cute?  After stamping my sweet image with Black Tuxedo I colored her with my copic markers.  I layed her down on some layered Spellbinders Beaded Circles.  The beautiful papers I used are called "Blush" by My Mind's Eye.  I love this paper collection and have a few pads of this.  I edged all of the papers with my TH distress ink in Victorian Velvet.  The yummy flowers I used are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I sprayed them all up with my Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Iridescent Gold to give them some nice shimmer.  I also added  few leaves in black to further accent the flowers. These were cut from Olive Branch Cutters Die by C.C. Designs.  I glued these down using Mono Multi Liquid Glue  by Tombow.  Finally, I added some trims and pink rhinestones to finish it off.  The sentiment "Sweet" is from part of another stamp set I had at home.

Please check out the Loves Rubberstamps store to see supplies used on my card.  Also, check out the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge blog to see what other  projects the rest of the Design Team made.  If you want to join this fun challenge, I'll post the details below and you could have a chance to win some great prizes form the store. 

Hope you all like my card! Have a wonderful week and thanks so much for stopping by to visit! :)

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  We had my son, Noah's 1st AYSO game of the season which was so much fun!  Although we lost the game, the team did an awesome job and we are so proud of our little soccer player, Noah!  Go "White Ninjas"!!! 

So on to my inspiration for you all this Sunday and here is my card...


This card features  La La Land Craft's adorable "Summer Luka".  I think I have seen so many blogs and comments saying how Luka reminds them of their sons and I'm no different! LOL  Luka totally reminds me of my youngest son, Ethan.  In fact, I had thought about adding this image to another scrapbook layout but I decided to use it for a birthday card instead. I think I will probably  color up another one for this purpose since this image is just too cute and perfect! Another reason I used this image was another chance to hang on to Dear Summer which is slipping away way too fast! :(  I know there are many who have started the school year already and I am bracing myself for this next week and back to school!  Okay, so back to my card...I colored up Luka using my Copic Sketch markers.  I used some fun papers by Echo Park called "Hello Summer" which went perfect with my theme.  I edged all of my papers using my Tim Holtz distress ink in "Broken China".  The "Chill Out" sentiment is from my stash.  I used my memento ink in Black Tuxedo to stamp this as well as my cute Luka image.  Finally, I added some Recollections blue gems on the corners to add a little bit of sparkle.

Please be sure to check out the Loves Rubberstamps store to find crafting supplies used on this project.  Also check out the Loves Rubberstamps blog to see what the rest of the design team made and to also have a chance to win some vouchers from the store.

Hope you all like my card and Happy End of Summer!:)
