Sparkle Creations Ch#93

Hi all! Today is Sparkle Creations Challenge #93, and this time we have a sketch for you...
designed by the very talented, Kim Yu! For my card today, I used Cherry Blossom Rin...

Inspired by the artist Aki and her beautifully colored sketch of Rin. Used papers from BG Konnichiwa, gorgeous brown ribbon from May Arts, a resin cherry blossom from Recollections, and a flower tag from PTI Tiny Tags stamped with "joy" sentiment from TGF's It's a Girl clear stamps.

Here a few close-ups
This is my last guest designer post for Sparkles Creations. It went by so quickly! It's been amazing to be with an awesome group of ladies. The stamps are just so much fun to color and create with. Hope you all stop by the SCRS blog to see more inspiration from the team! I do have one more quick share with you all later this week, so be sure to come back then!

Have a wonderful day! ;D

All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge

Hi all! Welcome to week two of the current ATS' Wednesday Challenge... ANYTHING BUT A CARD! I made a couple of tags using SN Baby Stocking Girl and Boy...
These are really quick and fun to make. Tags were cut with a Sizzix die cut, used some scraps from the holiday pile, stamped the sentiment on more scraps and cut them into a fishtail banner, added the ribbons on top, and popped on the colored image! Now I have a couple more to add to my "stash" of holiday tags! I have about ummm... 4?!! LOL!

Well I hope you can find some time and join us at ATS and visit the blog for more ideas and inspiration!
Thanks for stopping by....
Have a fantastic day! ;D
