Jazzy Inspiration #3 & OCC Sketch


Happy Saturday Everyone!
My first card is for Jazzy Inspirations. Our challenge was to make a blue monochromatic card based on the album you see above. Easy enough right? I used Night of Navy & Brocade Blue for my colors along with Whisper White and some retired DSP from SU! Added some scallops, bling, ribbon & dots...all done!! Come on over and play with us...we love looking at your fab creations!! My card is also featuring the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You.....thanks Kazan---I love it!!!!

This card is for last week's sketch challenge on the OCC blog. They have really cool challenges posted every Saturday...if only I could get myself *unbusy* to complete these in time!! I'm truly working on that and will get this week's challenge done really early if things go as planned. For my card I used Purely Pomegranate & Pink Pirouette cs. I threw in a bit of black with my white to kind of balance it out and I do believe that was the right thing to do. I'm lovin' the Season of Friendship ss along with the sentiments from the new Level 2 Hostess set--A Little Somethin'-- so couldn't resist inkin' them up! I was trying to find a small solid heart to use but came up empty so I resorted to stamping those luscious lips from High Hopes......a truly *kissed* tree LOL!!!

I hope everyone has a pleasant day! We're going to visit our cousin who just had a baby boy....can't wait to see the lil' cutie & kiss those cheeks!! Thanks so much for stopping by.
TTFN,
Hugs,
