It's Wednesday!

Time for another Diva Coffee Break Challenge! Our challenge this week (#118) was to use the Big Shot. As you know, I just LOVE my Big Shot and use it quite frequently, so this really wasn't a stretch for me. I used the Texturz Plate as well as the Top Note die for this card. The dots background from the Texturz Plate may be a little hard to see, but they are on the back white layer. The Top Note die was used on both the Kiwi Kiss as well as the Bella Rose DSP and then I cut along the perforation on the DSP it would be a little smaller and you could see the layering. Stop on over at the Diva Coffee Break blog and check out the other design team members creations. You won't be disappointed!

Supplies:
Stamps: Echoes of Kindness
Ink: Black Stazon, Ridinghood Red, Kiwi Kiss
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Ridinghood Red, Whisper White, Bella Rose DSP
Accessories: Blender Pen, Brads, Ridinghood Red ribbon

It's Time for a Diva Coffee Break Design Challenge

Every Wednesday, another Diva Coffee Break Design challenge is issued. Last week we had a color challenge. Did you play along? This week, we have a sketch challenge. Starting out with a sketch layout makes it so easy to make a card - for me, anyway! While sometimes it is easy to follow the sketch exactly, at other times I choose to leave something out or change it up a bit depending on my mood. With this sketch, I chose to put my "sentiment" in the larger image box so I didn't add a sentiment where the sketch asked for one.

Supplies:

Stamps: Echoes of Kindness

Paper: Not Quite Navy, Basic Gray, Kiwi Kiss, Urban Garden DSP, Vanilla

Ink: Not Quite Navy

Accessories: Vintage brads, Kiwi Kiss grosgrain ribbon, Gray taffeta ribbon

So, what do you think? Want to play? Come on, you know you do...! Hop on over to the Diva Coffee Break Designs blog for some more inspiration for this sketch and then give it a try on your own. You can upload your creation on the Diva blog using Mr. Linky, or you can email me a copy of your creation and I post it for you!
