Pink and Grey

It's time for a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!

This week we are looking for pink and grey creations.  Skin tones, hair colors, and a neutral are allowed, but we really only want to see pink and grey on the rest of the card.  Hmmmm a tough one?  How often have I heard grey is the new black?  Let's see what you can do!

To make sure I did not break the rules, I kept it simple with only one sheet of pink patterned paper and then lots of grey card stock. 

Sonny Honeycloud Tomboy is front and center on my card surrounded by all that pink and grey.  The sentiment (notice the pink and grey) can work as a Birthday card or a Congrats card.  I highlighted "YOU" in the sentiment with a copic.

Be sure to check out the LMMS blog for more inspiration and to link up your pink and grey creation.  All the rules are in the sidebar.

Have fun crafting!

Smiles,
Julie

Stamp - Sonny Honeycloud Tomboy, Sentiment - Your Next Stamp Celebration Circles, copics, Basic Grey embossing Folder, BoBunny PP, Ink - SU, and PTI CS.

September LMMS Release Sweetness

It's new release day at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and the Polka Dot Pals line is expanding!  More summery sweetness has arrived.  I am all for keeping summer around a little longer!

My card features Sally.  Watermelon is a summer staple in my house...she would be perfect for a scrapbook layout too.

I stuck to traditional watermelon colors with the patterned paper from Carta Bella. 

 

Be sure to head over to the blog for more inspiration and check out the new stamps in the store!

Silver Christmas

Today's card is for the SCS Dirty Dozen Christmas Challenge for September - Silver Bells.  Create something with silver or bells or both!  Stacy aka Twinshappy asked me to create a sample card for this month's challenge - Thank you Stacy!!!  I am honored to play along this month.

I really wanted to add bells to my creation, but I admit, I could NOT get it look right.  I stuck with the silver and used Silver Stickles to dress up my card. 

The snowman is Fhiona's Snowman from Your Next Stamp and it is paired up with stamps from Happy Day Sentiments.  I hand cut the snow bank and layered it off white paper embossed with Basic Grey Snowflake. 

Be sure to play along - I would love to see some ideas for using bells!

Smiles,
Julie
