Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge

May 22, 2010 By Connie | 9 Comments

It's time for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Challenge (CCMC4)!  I designed the sketch for this week's challenge and  I am amazed at the how different each Designer interpreted this sketch!  I know I had fun with it…hope they did, too!  This week on Create with Connie and Mary, we've been focusing on Watercolor Trio, Bouque Bunch and A Little Bit of Magic from the Summer Mini Catalog.  It's not too late to join!  We are starting our last week, but you still have access to all the previous posts and tutorials long after the sesson is over!

 

Yes, I used Stampin' Up!'s Watercolor Trio again.  I can't stop using it…and I love this color combination with it!  I stamped the flower and leaves images in Old Olive, Ruby Red and So Saffron Classic Ink on Whisper White cardstock and layered it on So Saffron Cardstock.  I wrapped the Old Olive Satin Ribbon around it and tied.  I added three 1 1/4" circles punched from Ruby Red along the left side. 

 

 

For the greeting element, I stamped Thanks So Much with Ruby Red on Whisper White and punched with the 1 1/4 Circle Punch.  I layered it on…can you GUESS????  Yes!  The larger cog of the new Double Cog punch!  I punched the Cog once in Old Olive and once in Ruby Red, then layered it on a 1 3/4 circle of So Saffron.  This was popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added a So Saffron butterfly on the edge of the greeting, too!

 

I hope you check out the rest of the Create with Connie and Mary Design Team to see what they did this week.  As I mentioned earlier, each card was SO different, yet completely intrepreted from the sketch!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    I love it Connie. After seeing your color choices I'm betting this sketch and colors will be my Christmas cards this year. Ya can't be too early when it comes to Christmas. You and the gals at CCM are my heroes!

    Thank you for using the cog punch, I think. I wasn't going to order that but after seeing this card, I have to have it. That looks so great! Thanks again, I check out your blog everyday.

    Now you've gone and done it.  You've made me need that new cog punch.  Up until now I saw no use for it.  Blessings, Renee
