Pretty In Pink

Hi folks! This week the Beary Scrap design team is showing more samples for our Beary Sweet "Closet Inspiration" challenge. I've been a little worried about my *ahem* dullness-on-hangers, but guess what I found in my closet? Pink! A pink sweater with a cream strip down the sleeve, to be exact. It's a favorite although I can't imagine donning a sweater these days!

Anyway, here's what came of my pink and cream inspiration:

I used Stickles and Glossy Accents on the hand to make it pop.

Card Bits

• Stamp - Magnolia Tilda with Umbrella
• Paper  - My Mind's Eye Be Mine 6x6 stack; Bazzill Basics
• Medium - Copics for skin:  E000, E00, E11, R20; Prismacolor with OMS; Ranger Stickles in Fruit Punch, Star Dust, Icicle; Ranger Distress Ink in Vintage Photo
• Embellishments - Pearls; My Mind's Eye Market Street rhinestone brad; crochet lace and flowers from stash
• Adhesives - Scor-Tape; Glue Dots; Fabri-Tac; silicone

Well for our new challenge it was a little bit hard for me but it wouldn't be a challenge if it was to easy and its a good way to make you really think about what to do. Just like Susan I don't have a lot of colors or patterns in my cloths. Most of what I wear is solid colors and for the most part neutral colors. But today I was actually wearing a shirt that was a bright blue and I decided to use the color from my shirt for this card. The birds are the color of the shirt.  

As soon as I saw this pattern "Home Tweet Home" from Beary Sweet Designs I knew I wanted to cut this out. All pieces were inked with Colorbox Ink and Stickled. They were Pop Dotted to my background paper from Echo Park Country Drive, new at The Beary Scrap Store. I added some Teal Blue Pearls to my card and the whole card and paper piecing was glued together with Fabri-Tac Glue.

Thanks for looking

Closet Inspiration

Happy Monday to all our crafty friends! This week the design team is showing you new inspiration for our current "Find Inspiration In Your Closet" challenge. When I stood in my closet I was struck by how... er ... boring my wardrobe is these days. I wear a lot of black and khaki and don't go in for the fun and funky detailing you see on a lot of fashion these days. In lieu of the fancy stuff and avoiding the flowery knickers in my girly drawer (for your sake, really), I decided to love all over my purple and green plaid linen bathrobe. Hey! It's not as dorky as it sounds!

Click for a bigger view!

I adore Prima floral papers and was happy to find a few that coordinate with the ol' cover-up. :) The bird and cage were made using a Tim Holtz/Sizzix die. The bird from a scrap of Prima paper and the cage from really thin cherry wood paper.

Card Recipe

• Paper: Prima 6x6 paper stack - Fairy Flora; Bazzill Basics; cherry wood paper for the cage
• Medium: Ranger Distress Ink in Victorian Velvet, Vintage Photo, Bundled Sage; Stickles in Picket Fence and Star Dust
• Embellishments: White Mulberry Paper Roses colored with Distress Inks; Seam Binding; die cut branches; crochet lace from stash
• Adhesives: Fabri-Tac; 3D Glue Dots in 1/8" and 1/16"

Thanks for visiting today! Please join our current challenge - you could win a $20 gift voucher from The Beary Scrap!

It's the 15th of the month, which means it's time for our new challenge. Whoo hoo! This time we're challenging you to share a project using the theme...

Find Inspiration In Your Closet

Use a piece of your favorite clothing or accessory as inspiration. Such as denim flowers inspired by your favorite jeans or a piece of felt that reminds you of your favorite sweater. You can also use a go-to lapel pin, necklace, bracelet or scarf; even your best pair of winter mitten as long as *you're* inspired! If you put it on your body it's a source of inspiration. There are loads of ideas just hanging around. FUN! Please include a photo or description of your inspiration.

This challenge runs through July 30th at 11:59pm EST. We will announce the random gift voucher winner and our "Beary Sweet Top 3" from each challenge on August 4th.
