Inspired By #27 - ends tonight
Inspired by Stamping Inspiration Challenge #12 - ends tonight
Young Crafters Unite Challenge - which ends Friday, not today like I'd written down...
Yes, Virginia, I'm Inspired (which I missed the deadline for, so 'after the last minute?')
Swear to peanuts, I might actually be organized about SOME things.
Stop laughing.
Seriously, guys!
OK, so I'll start with Inspired by #27, where we're to create something inspired by this photo:
I was primarily inspired by the colours (yellow and lime green), but also by the lovely sugar sparkles.
I dabbed Dimensional Magic onto the flowers with a toothpick, and then sprinkled glitter over them. The DM dries raised (like glossy accents) so it has more dimension than using glitter glue. I used the glitter pen over the stamped sentiment, and then inked the edges of the card with the Citrus ink pad.
Tammy introduced me to the IBSIC Challenges, and wasn't I lucky enough to be part of their top 3 last week? (Squeal! Does winning things ever get boring? I don't see it.) This week's challenge is a sketch, and here it is:
Fluffy! Pet it! |
This card does double-duty for Young Crafters Unite and Virginia's challenge - I used flowers for YCU, and rainbow colours for Virginia's challenge.
Stardust pen along bottom edge of card, and the word 'whimsy' |
Having endured the mother of all homework sessions - I'm ready for bed, and it's only 8 PM. Having two kids experiencing homework meltdowns at the same time...no. I don't recommend it. Especially don't recommend the part when, distracted by the children freaking out I ignored the dog's single solitary warning bark before she peed...on unfinished wood flooring by the back door.
Yeah, is it bedtime yet? Ah, it's all over & cleaned up now.
xoxo,
Jessi

Gorgeous cards! Thanks for joining us at IBSIC! Hugs, Joanna
Hi Jessi - what a wonderful collection of cards. I love the first one. You are so creative!! The other two are awesome as well. So very colorful.
omg, these are gorgeous! that final card is so beautiful!!!
So I'm challenged by challenges... 1) that are only a week long, because it seems too short a time, and 2) challenges longer than a week because I forget about them. Obviously, I'm sunk! :D
Love all of these, but my favourite is definitely that chicky graduation card!
Love these cards! Thanks for playing along at Inspired By!
Ooh, I love all three of these. They're just fabulous! Ann Y.
Your cards are GORGEOUS!!! You never stop amazing me! :-) Especially, the ability to crank cards out in a timely manner and with all you have on your plate! Being a mom multiplied is enough to be exhausting and cuts into crafty time! So, I love how you are able to work full steam and get so much accomplished!
So here's to hoping we see you next week at IBSIC! I love it that you are playing with us! :-)))
Love them all...such fabbie cards!!!
I love all of your sparkly/shiny cards here. FANtastic designs!! And yes, it is now bedtime. I've hit the auto-shutoff stage now. Thanks for the eye candy before I hit the pillow!
wow these are all so awesome...I love all the glitter...great designs.....love that graduation card..
These are fantastic! Love the sparkle and you have really captured the inspiration with those green stems, it's perfect!
Yeah! Sometimes last minute does gives a boost to your adrenaline to create more! Aww.. love your lime effect with all the sparkly droplets - absolutely beautiful, Jessi!
Lovely cards, congrats on last week's top 3, I love this week's card, very cute. Thanks for joining us at IBSIC. Deb xxx
Wow! Last minute but oh-so-fab! Lovely work Jessi! :)
Great cards =) Thanks for joining our YCU challenge!
So much to love here! That first card is perfect for the inspiration pic! Loving the margarita-y color scheme:)
The fluffy chick is too adorable! I need to try flocking (feel a little weird typing that, lol):) Is it really messy?
And how much do I love your last card? Rainbow and shimmer? That card knocked me out!
Hope you're getting some rest today:) You deserve it!
You are a maniac! And I love all of them! Your first one is my fav (love that stamp...want that stamp)...and the colors...whoa!
Congrats on the top 3! Sorry about the pee. I don't have pets that wet on the floor, but I do have children that occasionally do (neither is pleasant!). You made some gorgeous cards, Jessi! I am loving the texture you created in all three with the glitter and flock. So pretty!!
Wow! I don't know which I like best... the sparkly thank you, the rainbow of flowers, or that cute grad chick!! They are all so cute!!
(I feel for you with the dog's 'accident.' While we were away 2 cats got stick in a room. It was really not good!!!)
Thanks for your comment over at my blog. Your rainbow flowers are gorgeous with the touch of stardust!
Your rainbow flowers made me gasp! Gorgeous and of course the rest are jessi-fab as well. :)
Oh my, I'm travelling back in time...I've missed so much!!!
These are gorgeous... love the rainbow flowers, they tuck together like a beautiful garland and the grad chick is really tweet!!!
I'm lucky with the homework front...James refuses to bring it home!!! That's the end of it... Got to admire his acute decision making in this area )
