Share Joy Challenge #42

Hey, hey!

It's time for this week's Share Joy Challenge from Taylored Expressions! I used the sketch this week, and came up with this bright, and happy card!

I started with a panel of white card stock, and using a simple circle die, made four openings. I then lightly traced those openings onto my white card base, and inked those spots in four colors. 

I splattered them with water, and lifted the color up with a paper towel. I then adhered the panel with foam, and adhered the lovely Best Wishes Script die, that I stacked multiple times, and inked up.

I adhered a strip of pattered paper to the bottom, and also a cluster of flowers, and leaves that uses the new Fresh Florals Stamp and Die set. I stamped those in some of the Taylored Expressions Dye inks, in the colors, Granny Smith, Pea Pod, and Lemon Meringue.

Share Joy Joy #33

Hey there!

I am back today, with a new Share Joy Challenge! This week, I went with the color combination, and used my favorite floral dies from Taylored Expressions. 

I started by die cutting the Basketweave Cutting Plate using Sugar Cube card stock, and adhering it to a card base made from Poppy Seed card stock. Using the coordinating paper colors, I die cut some of the Scribble Flowers die set.

I stamped my sentiment onto vellum using the Simply Stamped: Tulips set, in Versamark ink, and heat seat it with white embossing powder. I finished it off with different sizes of sequins.

I hope you can play along with us! Here is a look at the graphic, info below!

Memory Box March Challenge

Hello, and Happy March!

I just wanted to stop by, and share my card for the March challenge on the Memory Box blog. For March, we are bringing out Flowers and/or Bunnies! I chose Florals, because, well, because! HAHA!

I chose the lovely Sketch Daisy die to use on my card. I started with a panel of watercolor paper, and created a spring colored wash of watercolors onto it. After it was dry, I die cut the flowers, along with card stock, and inlaid those colors back in, along with the white frame.

I adhered some green patterned paper to my card base, and attached the panel with foam, finishing it off with clear sequins.

Thanks for stopping by today! If you have some time, stop over to play along with us, we would love to see what you create with Memory Box dies!

AEIHeartU Challenge #31

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by! Today, I am bringing you the latest Avery Elle Challenge, Metallics! It's been around for ages, but Gold and Silver are always in! I used a bit of both on my cards today, yes, cards! I couldn't stop at one.. 

I decided I had to make a shaker to emphasize all of that glitz, so a shaker it was. I die cut an oval using the Sweet Scallops Elle-ments die set, from the upper middle of my white panel. I then added a generous amount of foam tape, sprinkled in lots of gold and silver sequins, as well as micro beads, and placed another piece of acetate over it to contain them. I adhered the panel to a white note card, which I had previously stamped my sentiment on. 

I added three various size strips of gold card stock, and then adhered a floral spray of stamped die cuts over top of it.

I told you I couldn't stop! I took a white panel, stamped my flowers, and greens, and trimmed the bottom portion, carefully cutting around a flower, and a few leaves. I then popped it up onto a card base that I had stamped a striped pattern onto, as well as a strip of gold card stock.

I finished it by stamping the circle cluster stamp around my florals, using Delicata ink!

Thanks so much for joining me today, I sure do hope to see you play along!
