Hello, Festive Friday! I had a RR day today but a crafty girl uses that time to play! I’m playing in a new challenge this evening and it’s called Festive Friday, the caveat to this challenge is there’s a twist. This weeks challenge is Valentine’s Day or Sequins.. since I missed Valentine’s I decided to create a love card.

I cut a piece of Koh-I-Noor Bristol card and smooshed a few Distress Inks (Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, Worn Lipstick) onto the card. The panel was die cut out with my SSS Heart of Flowers die. I inlaid each cut out piece onto a panel Neenah Solar White card (110lb) popped some of the pieces up with foam dots for dimension. I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Love Sentiment stamp in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and scattered a few sequins.

To finish my card I adhered the panel onto an A2 side fold Bazzill (Flamingo) card base.

Tick, Tock… It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday! I’m back with another design and this week I chose the elements from the bottom row across (Enamel Dots, Birthday, Green). You should join in the fun, while your there check out what the Design Team and our Guest Designer created this week for inspiration.

Create With Me…
1. I cut a piece of Strathmore Watercolor paper and inked smooshed several of the green colors from my Prima Colour A La Cremes Water Soluble Oil Pastels () and let it air dry. Once the panel was dry I die-cut with the Avery Elle Wonky Stitched Rectangle die.
2. I die cut several of the MFT Birthday Balloons out of Neenah Solar White card (80lb) with my Gemini Jr.
3. The balloon die cuts were stamped with various MFT Mini Inks (Perwinkle, Tickled Pink, Banana Split, Tangy Orange, Blu Raspberry). I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.
4. The balloons were adhered to the ink smooshed panel with adhesive and foam dots for dimension, I then drew my string with a Black Pigma Micron Pen and added white dots, shadows with a Sakura White Gelly Roll pen.
5. To finish off my card I adhered the water colored panel onto a (4.75 x 5.25) piece of the pebbles (Happy Hooray 6×6 paper), both were adhered onto an A2 to fold Neenah card base a few enamel dots were added randomly through out my card panel.
