Chevron love

Both of the cards I wanted to share today have a chevron kind of design.  I love that look.

 First off, I wanted to play along with the 10 minute craft dash.  The color combination is so cool.  I was really able to create this little goodie in just under the 10 minute deadline! I can't believe I could do that but let me tell you, when you are on a time limit you sure can't sit around and try to make decision's!!! You just grab stuff.

The process -

1.  I picked out the Hero Arts stamp and the three colors of Distress Stain. START!

2.  The three colors of the Distress Stain were applied to the stamp and then spritzed with water.

3.  I stamped this on the white cardstock and cut this out to size.

4.  I punched the leaf sprig and added that and the two flowers to the card.

5.  I picked up the set of Heidi Swapp epoxy words that were on my desk and used one of the words for my sentiment.

6.  I took a bottle of red Clearsnap spray ink, took out the sprayer and flicked some of the red ink on my card.

7.  DONE!!!

 Here is a close up of the neat way the colors mixed.

 The 10 Minute Craft Dash

 For this card, I wanted to use the Seize the Sketch challenge.  I turned the sketch on it's side for my card. 

 The sentiment is from a stamp set I just purchased from Verve stamps.  I love sentiments like this that are meant to encourage a friend.  The leaves I stamped on here are from Paper Source and then I accented the tap with some punched leaves, the same punch as on the first card.

 Here is the Seize the Sketch challenge.
And for a photo...

I was watering some of my plants this week and just had to share how pretty this guy is.  It just keeps going with those wonderful blooms.

Core'dinations and Imaginisce and a HUGE give away

Core'dinations Cardstock and Imaginisce teamed up together this week to show off some goodness by combining the two companies. PLUS, there will be a really big giveaway and you need to leave a comment at Core'dinations cardstocks blog to be in the drawing. You REALLY want this package, believe me. You can post all week as each day more goodness is revealed but your comment needs to be in Monday's post so all of the posts are in one place for the drawing.

I created a couple cards and this one was featured today on the Core'dinations blog.

Here is a close-up of the cute puffy stickers by Imaginisce.

I also created this cutie and that will be shown later this week at Core'dinations. For both cards, it is so fun to use a collection of papers where all of the elements go together so nicely.
