Hello fellow 'fetti Fans!!! Spring is in the air and it makes me think of the little ditty, April showers bring May flowers! Well, the Confetti Crew are ready to shower our 'Fetti Fans with a beautiful new April Reverse Confetti SFYTT and gorgeous inspirational creations with this month's fabulously layered and versatile sketch!


We would love for you to join us and share your creation(s) with the April SFYTT # 23, just link-up your card or project following the RC April SFYTT # 23 over at the Reverse Confetti blog for you chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti shop and we're always on the look-out for the next Reverse Confetti 'Fetti Fave...it could be YOU!!!


Here is the fabulously versatile and layered sketch we have this month....I LOVE it!   I flipped the sketch and shifted the positioning of the "green strip" on the sketch so that I could use the super cute NEW Double Banner Garland Confetti Cuts. I think it still works ;)

I love paper shopping at Winners and Home Sense...I always score paper pads for a steal! I picked up this Pebbles - Garden Party 6X6 pad the other day and I knew it would be perfect for my April Reverse Confetti SFYTT # 23 card. I paired the papers with the NEW Folded Tag Sentiments Stamp set and the Folded Tag Confetti Cuts. I tied the Folded Tag with a little Striped Charcoal  Twinery Twine.

I used the Documented Confetti Cuts to make some of the different layered panels on the card and I couldn't resit adding a few cute clouds with the Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts, one of my favourite Confetti Cuts from the March release. Lastly, I sprinkled the card with some pretty Gumdrops.

I finished the inside of the card very simply this time with a strip of Black Licorice Heavyweight Card Stock and a sentiment from the NEW The Buzz Stamp set!

Thanks SO much for stopping by and for having a wee peek at my card for the Reverse Confetti April SFYTT # 23! Can't wait to see what you all create with this month's fabulous RC SFYTT sketch!

My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 220 & ColourQ # 283...Sending Big Hugs!


Hey stampin' friends! Seems like I've been colouring up a lot of cute little animals these days, which I LOVE, but I've missed colouring up this cute PI girl! I thought I'd colour up Sending Big Hugs and join the MFTWSC Sketch Challenge # 220, while I'm at it!

 I needed a little colour inspiration for this card...the ColourQ Challenge was perfect and they've extend the ColourQ # 283 deadline! Finally, I just learned about the House of Cards Challenge (Thanks Mynn for letting me know about it) and the challenge is to use enamel dots...ummm, If you've visited my blog before then you know I have a serious addiction to YNS Gumdrops, so I'm entering this card in the March House of Cards Challenge!


Here is the fun sketch that they have this week for the MFTWSC # 220 


Here's the great colour combo that they have over at the ColourQ Challenge # 283

I used MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Black Licorice, Steel Blue, Kraft, 
Factory Green and Primitive White

I coloured the Pure Innocence Sending Big Hugs girl with my Copics and paper pieced her dress with Authentique Peaceful 6X6 papers. I used the Fishnet Stencil and inked randomly with Forest Moss Distress Ink. I used my Circle STAX and Stitched Circle STAX and layered over the scalloped border from Blueprints 14, the Kraft cardstock is cut with the washi-tape die from Blueprints 13 and the flowers are from Blueprints 3. I stamped the sentiment from the PI Sending Big Hugs Stamp set with Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink directly on the main panel that is cut with die from Blueprints 13. I embellished with some green AC Twine and a smattering of YNS Sparkly Silver Gumdrops.

I finished off the inside of my card...I stamped a shadow image of the PI Sending Big Hugs girl in Factory Green Premium Dye Ink and stamped another sentiment from the set on the fishtail banner from Blueprints 12. I used the Layered Treat Label Die-namics and the FABULOUS Horizontal Stitched Strips, which I never put away cuz I used them ALL the time ;)

Thanks SO much for stoping by and havin' a wee peek at my Pure Innocence card for the MFTWSC # 220 Sketch Challenge and for the ColourQ # 283

Here's a detail shot...I stamped the small bee on the Primitive White card stock with Grout Grey Premium Dye Ink and cut it out with the small tag from the RC Tag Me Confetti Cuts. I then stamped a sentiment from The Buzz Stamp set in Night Shift Blue Premium Dye Ink. I also stamped a few bees from The Buzz Stamp set in Grout Grey, cut them out with The Buzz Confetti Cuts popped them up on my my card and added a little shimmer to the wings with a clear glitter Wink of Stella Brush. To finish it off, I embellished with some sparkly pink Gumdrops and some orange AC Cord.
