H&M Sketch Baby, an Inspired Scarf and Amuse

Well ladies - it's Saturday and that means Heather from H&M Stamps has another sketch/color challenge for us! You can join in and win a gift from Heather here.
Here is the card I made from the challenge. I used the sketch as well as the colors but you can do one or the other or both! and you don't have to use H&M Stamps but if you have them - please do!

On my card today - I used a wonderful 23 piece baby stamp set called Miracle from Above that you can see here.

I used my rectangle nestability for the BABY sentiment and circle punches for the images. I colored the images with copics. I think with this color mix you could use it for either a boy or girl baby!

Stamps: Miracle from Above: H&M Stamps
Paper: Vintage Cream: PTI, DP Amuse
Ink: Dark Chocolate
Accessories: copics, circle punches: SU, rectangle Nestabilities, foam dimensionals

Todays inspiration challenge from Stef on Split Coast was a wonderful web site called Felted Garden. I was inspired by the colors and patterns on this set

and here is the card I created.I used a new (to me) Martha Stewart flower punch that just punches the outline so it's dimensional - and then punched around the flower with a circle punch. I sponged the edges with Kiwi Kiss Ink and mounted it to the card with foam dimensionals. I used my hole punch to make the centers of the flowers using Chocolate Chip Card Stock. I also used this Amy Butler designer paper - both to give the illusion of the holes on some of the scarves.

The sentiment is from a set called A Time of Caring by H&M Stamps and you can find it here:

This card will be going postal to a fellow Split Coast Stamper who is having some surgery this week. Thanks for another wonderful inspiration challenge Stef!

And a parting shot - today I attended an Amuse Cupcake Card Stamping Class at the Papertree Store in Manchester, NH - run by not only the owner of Amuse - Linda (on the right below) - but also the wild and crazy Julie Ebersole (on the left below) who many of you know from Split Coast as well as for her work as an Amuse card designer and instructor. What a fun class we had - I'll have more pics to share with you tomorrow!

I (that's me in the middle!) made each of them a little paper LL Bean Bag decorated with the Amuse Christmas VW stamp as a thank you for coming to NH and running the class. KathyC (from Split Coast) was also attending (hey Kathy!)

Thanks so much for coming by today!
