Living in Paradise: 365 Cards - Day 178

Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday at 365 Cards...well, no "wacky" colors this week, although you all rocked that challenge. This week Pam wants to be inspired by some of the "stuff" she puts in her "special coffee"...she's says it's sugar, but I'm still wondering :) Anyway, this one should be easy peasy...I kept expecting Pam to email and give some qualification to the challenge, like it couldn't be white or something like that...but no, we're free to simply be inspired by sugar! YUM! I used the super cute "Ruby the Clown" image from KLM Digi Stamps...if you don't remember...I LOVE clowns! So to meet the challenge I used this super "sweet" image along with Basic Grey Sugar Rush paper (there are 5 different patterns on there!) and that "sweet" sentiment.
Here's a picture of the inside...left it blank for now...

Here are the other challenges I was inspired by for this creation:

1. BasicGrey Challenges - Fabric + BG item: as I mentioned that BG Sugar Rush PP and that flower is made out of a frayed strip of fabric I had...

2. CardPatterns - sketch

3. CREATIVE BELLI BLOG - round and metal: got that big red metal brad for the flower center -- I've had it and fabric laying around for awhile too

4. Fairy Fun Fridays Challenge blog - Punch It: used a border punch on the inside

5. Pixie Dust Studio Challenge - Go crazy with Polka Dots...well I got a lot of patterns on this one, but the main background is polka dots as is the paper for the hair

6. Stampin’ for the Weekend - anything goes

Thanks for stopping by and can't wait to see your "sugar" creations!

Aloha,

STAMPING SAM said...: Again, another card that reminds me of my 'sweet' Kimmy! And this clown has blond hair like my 'sweet' Kimmy and look at those 'sweet' blue eyes and that 'sweet' little smile! Not only is this a 'sweet' card, it is a yummy card! Great cutting on the paper piecing and awesome skin tones on her 'sweet' face!

This card is so sweet, I'm hungry for chocolate!!!

Have a great day! Love, SAM aka MOM; August 25, 2010 at 12:58 AM
