Another new challenge starts at Your Next Stamp today!

We are looking for anything with PASTELS!

  

I went with a soft shade of pink for my card using paper from the Sweet Baby 6x6 Pad, paired with a cute lamb from the So Ewe-nique Stamp Set.

   

   

This little lamb is actually juggling Easter Eggs, but I just fussy cut those out, and put little hearts in their place, cut from the Heart Border Die. It's a great example of how versatile this set is!!

I sponged some Spun Sugar Distress Ink behind the image, and combined a couple of sentiments from the set, along with the Fancy Sweet Die. 

    

  

I even added some detail to the inside of the card this time... something I always neglect! This sentiment is also from the So Ewe-nique set, with a few more hearts underneath, and still plenty of room to write a message!

  

And here's a close up of the adorable little lamb...

  

 

Face, Ears, Hooves - T5, T3, T2, T1, T0 and R30, R000

When I saw the current MFT Color Challenge, I was totally inspired!! What an awesome color combo!

  

  

I colored up this sweet little Pure Innocence Birthday Girl (hmmm... looks like she may be retired?) And, I can't help it, I always want to paper-piece the clothes on these characters... they're like little paper dolls! :) I used papers from the Doodlebug Swiss Dots 6x6 Pad.

  

   

She is colored with Copics, and I added a little bit of sparkle to her balloon using my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.

I'm sharing a little something I made with the newly released goodies from Your Next Stamp... I couldn't wait to color up one of the cute little lambs from the So Ewe-nique set!

    

This lamb peeking out of the flower pot is my favorite from the set! I colored her up to match some paper from the Happy Spring 6x6 Paper Pad, then popped her up on a large Circle Die next to this fun sentiment! I donated ALL of my handmade cards before we moved, so I need to rebuild my stash... especially birthdays and thank you's!

I'm crazy about these new stickers images from Tiddly Inks! I've got a bunch on my desk right now... they are quick and easy to color up!

This little fairy is from the Little Valentine's Royal Fun Sticker Set. I colored her to go along with the Succulent Hues Challenge over on the Tiddly Inks Blog...

 

  

The floral paper is from the Doodlebug Sweet Things 6x6 Pad. I used my Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Border Dies to frame in the image and cute sentiment from the Stampendous Life Words set.  The image is finished off with a little bit of Stardust Stickles.

It's time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!

Our challenge is to use patterned paper on our creations... easy! The hardest part for me was choosing which of the cute YNS Paper Pads to use!

  

I decided on this adorable star print from the Fairytale Magic pad, and it goes perfectly with Waddles and his star friend from the Waddles Rainbow Fun stamp set! I used the largest star from the Stripetastic Stars Die Set, and inked the edges with Sunflower Yellow Ink.  The sentiment is from the Washi Tape Sentiments set.

   

  

Waddles - T5, T3, T2, T1, T0, R30

Beak, Feet - YR38, YR35, YR32

Star - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11, Y00

   

The challenge is open for you to play along! Just share your creation using any patterned paper to the YNS Blog by March 21st.

I can't wait to see what you create!!

  

I'm also entering my card in the Sketch Saturday Challenge...
