Painterly Pear Card ~ Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 641
Hello! If you're like me, sometimes you need a bit of help to get started on a project. A sketch can be that one thing that sets your creativity into moving forward. Our team at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge has a great sketch for you each week. The sketch goes live on Monday and our blog opens on Wednesday for entries.
We'd love to see your take on our sketch. You can manipulate it any way you like. We just need to be able to see the sketch in your project.
I've been creating with the Painterly Pears lately so all the pieces were right there on my craft table ready to go. It was quick and easy and I love the end result.

Tropical Look ~ Color Dare #663
Welcome to a new color challenge from our Design Team at Color Dare. This week we have a 3 color challenge for you. You must use all 3 colors shown in the graphic. Make sure your colors are a close match. See the graphic for the fine print info.
Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge click here.
My project ended up having a tropical feeling to it. At least it feels that way to me even though I wasn't thinking tropical at the time. Anyway, I started with the Irresistible Designs paper and a blending brush to create the pretty blue background. This paper is amazing and comes with 3 different patterns: flowers, leaves and plaid. All you have to do is rub ink over the paper then wipe with a paper towel. This removes the ink on the pattern since it won't stick to the embossed images. Use one color like I did here or use many. It's up to you!
When I stamped the sentiment I wanted to use the other two colors in the challenge. I decided to use a double inked method by inking the stamp the lighter yellow color first. Before stamping I touched the stamp to the orange ink to get the two-tone look you see here.
Next I sorted through my container of Fully Flowering Ephemera pack pieces to see if there was something that fit the color challenge. Lucky me! I found the perfect little flowers to accent the corner of the sentiment layer. I added some ribbon and popped it up on foam. A few gems and I was done!

More Pears.....
Are you ready for another idea using the Painterly Pears Suite? You've come to the right place! I love th bold look and how the pattern paper stands out against the solid cardstock. Not all the patterns in this pack are so bold. There are softer looks to be had too. Take a look online for all the patterns in the pack.
This time I paired the Suite with one of my favorite dies.....the Everyday Arches. I think the arches can make anything look even better! By layering different sizes of the arches it really draws in your eyes to the fabulous pattern paper. When cutting I chose to get a nice part of the paper to show in the arch.
Keeping the rest of the design simple, I popped up the dark layer with foam, wrapped a ribbon and added some gems. That's all it needed!

What's Up Wednesday ~ Blues
Welcome to a new project I'd like to share with you. It's all dressed up in blues....one of my favorite colors!
I started with the Painted Stripes stamp inking it in the darker blue and stamped on white cs. After cleaning I inked with the lighter blue, and stamped over the dark blue stripes creating a bit of an offset. Honestly, I was going to make a plaid but didn't turn my cs the right way so I ended up with this look. As it happens so often it was a happy mistake so I just kept on creating!
I kept the focal image simple by stamping the flower in black then only adding color to the flower with the coordination stamp.
For the ribbon I wrapped it around the cs and anchored with Gluer Dots. That seems to hold the fabric in place better. The I tied another piece of ribbon on the front to make it look finished. This layer is Poppe dup on foam. A few gems and it was done!
