Festive Friday Challenge…

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.

Crafty Supplies
Paper: Neenah Solar White (110lb), Koh-I-Noor Bristol, Bazzill (Flamingo)
Stamp: Pretty Pink Posh Love Sentiments
Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, Distress Inks (Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, Worn Lipstick)

Merry Monday – A Christmas Candle

Hi friends! It’s Monday and time for another challenge at Merry Monday! This weeks challenge is bought to you by Colleen. She has challenged us to create a Christmas card from the photo inspiration below. I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week.

I stamped the Stampendous Parchment Candle stamp onto X-Press It Blend card, colored with various Copic Markers. The image was cut out with my Brother Scan N Cut. Since this image looks like it’s on an old scroll I wanted to give it a distress look. I distressed the edges added some antique linen and gathered twigs around the edges.

To complete the card I adhered it onto an A2 Top Fold Garden Green card base.

Crafty Supplies
Paper: SU (Garden Green), X-Press It Blend
Stamp: Stampendous Cling Parchment Candle
