Simple Vintage

Day 3 of the CPS Anniversary!  Here is the sketch  http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/2012/01/cps-5th-anniversary-day-3-with-angie.html

I used the Gina K Sets Vogue Vases, Timeless Textures and Lovely Labels 2.  The Lovely Label was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with black ep.  Cut the center out with a circle die.  Stamped the flowers with Memento Bamboo Ink and colored with Touch Twin Markers, stamped the Timeless Textures over the top with Distress Antique Linen ink,  then added pearls to the flower centers.  The sentiment is stamped in Memories Black ink and cut out with Nesties Petite Ovals.  The background is Core'dinations Black Magic embossed with a CB folder and lightly sanded.  Cardstock used is Gina K Pure Luxury Ivory.

CPS Annversary

Congratulations to CPS on their 5th anniversary!  Day 1 of their celebration uses this sketch  http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/2012/01/cps-5th-anniversary-day-1-with-tami.html

This also fits the Free For All Friday Challenge at Stamp TV  http://stamptv.ning.com/forum/topics/free-for-all-friday-stamped-flower.  You are to use at least 2 shapes on your card plus a stamped flower.  I used Gina K's Happy Hearts by Tami Mayberry for the image and layered 5 different shaped dies.  Stamped the heart with Vivid Teal and then again in Memento Tangelo, cut the flower out of the orange and layered onto the teal heart.
This also fits The Crazy Challenge - Flowers http://crazychallenge.blogspot.com/2012/01/cch-104-flowers.html

On to Day 2 of the CPS Anniversary with this sketch  http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/2012/01/cps-5th-anniversary-day-2-with-linda.html

This is for a first time pregnancy done in gender neutral colors.  I used the rocking horse from

Gina K's Oh Baby!  The horse is colored with Touch Twin Markers.  Cut out and layered with Nestie circles and open scalloped circle.  The background dp is by My Minds Eye and the strip across the center is a piece from my stash.

Both of these cards also fit the Lily Pad Challenge - Simon Says Stamp Presents a Patterrned Paper Challenge  http://www.lilypad.inlinkz.com/2012/01/27/simon-says-stamp-presents-a-patterned-paper-challenge/
