Have you tried the color couture line from Papertrey Ink? Let's start with the fact that Dawn creates it, so you know it is going to be super fun! The other thing I like about everything she creates is that she always has TONS of cards with that set/color couture pack on her blog.

Here is one of the cards I made, you will see tons more in the days to come.
Here is a close up

This card is based off of one of the samples that you get when you buy the pack. Dawn created this card example as well. I changed it up a bit and added my own touches as well. Do you love the glitter flower? I am really trying to incorporate glitter into my projects. It is such an easy way to add a pop of bling. Did I add all of the color courture packs have color combos created by Dawn. They are little embillies that you cut out and then you can whip up a quick and fun project.

It's a good life!

Changes

Isn't that a hard word. We have been having some fun times with that at our home. Cece is now 2 months old and Izzy is not so sure about our family dynamic. She LOVES Cece, but not so sure she likes how everything has had to change. It is hard going from an only to a big sister I guess.

Needless to say I needed to give my little crafter a card. I used this color combo since the bright colors reminded me of her. You can find the great challenge at Colour Q.
Then this week is the Verve release challenge week. How fun is that? I used this sketch found here

Here is my card

What do you think? I like how it turned out for my pink a licious girl LOL! Although she can't read the sentiment yet, it is perfect for her. I used the PTI CHA set for creating my background paper. I am in love with the frizzy flower. I don't have the wild wasabi ink pad yet, so I versa marked the main leaf and then used my wild wasabi marker. It created a streaked look that I actually really like.

The sentiment is from GKD and the butterflies are PTI Butterfly kisses. I finished off the butterflies with my xron machiene and dazzling diamonds. I did pop up the main word pannel and the butterflies as well with stampin dimensionals.

It's a good life!

Here is my card

I have been working on using up my color couture from PTI. I adore what Dawn does with these fabulous embillies, so I just have to get them. The bigger trick for me is using these cuties. I am happy to say I have made 4 cards with them the last 2 days. Luckily I cut most of the elements out as soon as I get them, so it isn't too hard to make quick cute cards after that.

It's a good life!

I think you are Fabulous

Well, this is my last Verve Spring Fling challenge card. It was a sketch challenge.
Here is my card Now by the time I got to the sketch, I was short on time. I bought Dawn McVey's color couture at the last PTI release. Then like the obsessive compulsive person I can be, I cut everything out the day it came and it has just sat there on my desk. I am so stinking excited to finally break it out.

After working on it with a sketch challenge, it might be the way I work challenges when I run out of time. I really like the end result and the only thing I added was paper and the button element. LOVE IT!!!!!

It's a good life!
