Happy Birthday! CMCC #15

Welcome everybody!  Today I have another colour challenge from Colour Me...!  This is my second week guest designing for them, and I just love the colour combo they have chosen for this week!  So fresh and fun!  It reminds me of our week in Mexico last November!  Ahhhh....

At first I had in mind to design something in MDS using pictures from our Mexico trip... but I'm a little too busy designing something VERY COOL for my hubby's youngest sister's wedding.  And that is coming up in just over two weeks, so I am totally focusing on that in MDS.... and on nothing other!  Rest assured... I will show you when I can!

So instead of warm tropical vacations I have a bright flowery card for you instead.  Take a peek!

Isn't it a bright and cheerful card?  I only used the two colours from the palette, but I also did some second generation stamping to give a little background and depth to the flowers.  I also used the Vines EF from SU! on the Daffodil Delight panel, but you really actually don't see it much.  Oh well... it adds a little interest, doesn't it?  I agonized over what colour to stamp the sentiment in. Bermuda Bay... Black... Bermuda Bay... Black... and in the end I stamped it in Black because it drew my eye better than the Bermuda Bay, which just made it sort of blend in with all the flowers!  So there you have it!  A quick and easy card, but a beautiful one nonetheless!

I hope you'll click on over to the Colour Me...!  challenge blog, check out everyone else's beautiful projects, and then make some time to play along yourself!  You can find all the details here!

Sweet Sorbet... Again!

Yes... I still have Sweet Sorbet cards I didn't show you!  Take a look...

 This was a CASE from Erica Cerwin... I think!

CASEd from Julie Davidse.

I showed you one like this a few days ago, in a horizontal format.  Not sure who I was inspired by.

 

Not sure about the two cards above either... sorry!

This was Cindy Schuster again.

Not sure about this one either... maybe Ilina Crouse?

I know I should probably keep track of who inspires me, but sometimes it's a few weeks between when I make it and when I show it.  I try to give credit where credit is due, so if you recognize those for which I've forgotten, please let me know!

See you tomorrow!

More Sweet Sorbet!

I'm going to show you a few more of my Sweet Sorbet cards today.  This isn't even the last of them!  Sorry!  

Let's get to it!

Feel free to shout it out if you know by whom my cards were inspired or outright copied!  I cannot remember them all as it is a few weeks since I made these!  Above is a CASE from Dawn Olchefske I believe! 

Not too sure about this one!  Oops!  But isn't it pretty?

 

No idea who inspired me for the third and fourth cards, but I am thinking the last one is one I CASED from Ilina Crouse.

OK, that's it for me... come back next week for our new Stampin' Celebration post.... and an exciting announcement from me!

Another CASE of Sweet Sorbet

I have a few more cards to show you along the same lines as those of yesterday!  I love these cards... and this paper is just beautiful.  I'm glad I have a couple packs of it!

All of today's cards were copied or inspired by someone to some degree or another.  I don't remember who exactly, but if I do, I will say so.  If you recognize one, feel free to shout it out! 

The little grouping of elements on the front of this card was inspired by Erica Cerwin.

I don't remember who for this one.

Pretty sure this one was Cindy Schuster.

And, sadly, for this last one I don't know who inspired me either!  I just love all these cards.

I gave a pack of them to my secret sister a couple weeks ago, as a last gift for the year before I started surprising someone different, and she just loved them!  Packaged all together, they sure looked pretty!  So spring-y and fresh!

The CASE of Sweet Sorbet

I can't believe my Spring Break will be over this week... it goes by WAY TOO FAST!  But, so it is... 

I haven't had a chance to get crafty for a few days, but I wanted to show you some cards that I had made in the last few weeks!  I did a lot of CASEing, which I like to do sometimes.  There are so many beautiful cards out there that so many talented people create, and sometimes instead of doing all the work and dreaming up my own, I like to just go ahead and outright copy a card that I already know I love!  

I used alot of Sweet Sorbet DSP and the coordinating stamp set as well.  I sure got a lot of cards made by just using the same paper and stamps  so I didn't always have to clean up my workspace!  Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency!

Enjoy!

I honestly don't know anymore who I was inspired by with this first card.  I like to give credit where credit is due, but it's been a few weeks since I made this, and I have since deleted the photo.  If you recognize it as yours, please say so.  I didn't copy it exactly, but pretty closely!

 

This one I was inspired by Cindy Schuster.  I changed a few things to make it mine, but it was largely inspired by one of her Artisan Wednesday Wow cards.

 

Pretty sure this one was based on one of Dawn Olchefske's  cards.

I really don't know about this one anymore.  Sorry!

Same story with this last card too!  None of these are out and out copies though, but I want no hard feelings, so if you recognize anything, feel free to shout it out, and I'll gladly give credit where credit is due!

Take care!  I'll hopefully be back with some more of my CASEd cards tomorrow!
