Thank You

 

This card was created for the latest The Color Hues Challenge. I stamped the poppy from Altenew's Painted Poppy three times and one of the leaves onto Strathmore watercolor paper using Versafine onyx black ink. I stamped the interior parts using Tim Holtz distress inks. I masked off the flowers and leaf and then stamped a French script block stamp I have that is so old I'm not even sure who makes it. I stamped the sentiment from Avery Elle's Oh Happy Day stamp set using Versamark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. I cut the sentiment strip down using a Unity Stamp Company's Scallops & Banners nesting fishtail die. I cut the focal panel down using a stitched rectangle nesting die from Paper Rose and mounted it onto black cardstock. Everything was adhered to my white A2 card base. I finished this card off by adding some Nuvo glitter drops to the centers of the poppies for a little sparkle and shine. Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Hope you're staying cool this summer. 

Boo!-Send A Smile 4 Kids

 

This month at Send A Smile 4 Kids our inspiration is Holidays/Celebrations. Since we will be celebrating Halloween this month, I thought it would be fun to create a Halloween card! I started by stamping a spiderweb onto my purple focal panel using a red rubber background stamp that is so old I'm unsure who even made it. I then die cut my focal elements using Spellbinders Haunted House die set and colored cardstock in yellow, white, and black. I adhered the haunted scene directly to my focal panel. I stamped the sentiment from My Favorite Things Witch Way Is The Candy stamp set using Versamark clear embossing ink and black cardstock. I heat set the sentiment using Ranger detail white embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment using a fishtail banner from Unity Stamp Company's Scallops & Banners nesting dies. I adhered the sentiment strip to the focal panel and die cut the entire thing using a stitched rectangle die from Paper Rose. I matted it onto black cardstock leaving an 1/8" border and adhered the entire thing to my white A2 card base. I finished off the card by adhering some black sparkling gems around the card.
