Classy Cards Tea Rose

Hello, This is my inspiration card for Classy Cards 'n Such's latest One, Two, Three Challenge.  I used ONE stamp, TWO designer papers and THREE rhinestones.

I began by coloring this Sarah Kay image with Copics.  Isn't she sweet?  Stampavie isn't making stamps anymore but I was so lucky to pick up a couple of these Sarah Kay stamps at the Classy Cards store.   I used the Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles die to cut out the main image and then used it as a stencil to color around the image with distress ink.  I used Joy! Foam Pad's to pop her up for added dimension.

Next I cut the rose paper from Bo Bunny's Prairie Chic paper using a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles die and layered it behind the main image. The striped paper is also from the Praire Chic paper pad and is popped higher off the blue card stock with foam pads.  The blue card stock used on the bow and background paper was colored with a Copic B12 marker to match the blue of her dress.

I cut the Impression Obsession Large Bow and popped it up with Joy! Foam pads. The rose was cut out of white cardstock, colored with distress ink and then rolled using a quilling tool from the McGill Paper Blossom Tool Kit.  I adhered the rose on top of the bow with another foam pad.

Last, I added the three little rhinestones and colored in her apron using the Wink of Stella pen.  Her apron shines.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join us in the 1,2, 3 challenge for a chance to win a great prize!

HM Say Cheese

Hi, I created this for the new House Mouse & Friends Monday  "No Coloring of Images" Challenge that begins today.   This is my third guest design spot.  Come and join me and the rest of the DT (their samples are always amazing!).

I thought the No Coloring theme would be perfect with this camera stamp but after I had all of the elements together I really wanted to add color to that piece of cheese.  I got around it by paper piecing the cheese and popping it up with foam tape.

This card was simple to create and quick to put together since there was no actual coloring.  The film strip die is from Taylored Expressions.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, this is my inspiration card for the Classy Cards 'n Such "Its Okay To Be Negative" Challenge. This is a perfect challenge for Clean and Simple style cards and I hope you can play along this week. 

My recipe was simple.  Start with a detailed die like the Memory Box Tall Chloe Stem used here and then add an attractive designer paper behind it.  I used Bo Bunny's Prairie Chic paper.  I used Joy! Foam pads to pop up both layers off the main card.  

To add a bit of sparkle I randomly added Love 2 Scrap Mother of Pearl Rhinestones.  They are adhesive which was perfect and so easy to add into the blue negative space.  I also added matching sequins.

Hi!  This is my card for Crafting By Designs Vintage/Shabby Chic Challenge this week.  Come on over and join in the fun.  I can't wait to see what you create, I usually have a tough time with vintage designs and could really use the inspiration!

I used Impression Obsession's Cover-a-Card stamp for the background with two colors of distress ink.  The lacey frame is the Japanese Lace die from Cheery Lynn Designs.  The flowers were cut from a Spellbinders die and colored with distress ink before rolling with a quilling tool.  The leaves are from a Cottage Cutz die and were colored with Copics.  The brown flower is a lollipop cutie fringe die from Cheery Lynn.  The sentiment is from Impression Obsession and the butterfly is from Memory Box.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Classy Cards Butterfly Blues

Good morning!  Sometimes you just need a quick card.  I was inspired by the Classy Cards challenge It's Okay to be Negative.   I tend to use flowers on almost all my cards but as soon as I saw the challenge I thought of butterflies.

I used a wash of Twinkling H20's on the background.  The entire card shimmers!  After the card dried I flicked extra paint off the end of my paintbrush to get a paint-splatter effect.

The butterfly was cut using the Memory Box Swirl Butterfly die.  I trimmed the top layer 1/2 inch smaller than the A2 card base but did it after I'd painted and cut the butterfly to make sure I liked the way the butterfly was centered.  I also used my paintbrush to flick clear glossy accents across the top of the card. There are patches of clear dimensional shimmer which makes it look almost wet in spots.

Last, I glued the butterfly into position before popping up the top layer around and over her. Thanks for stopping by!

Dies R Us Happiest Birthday

Good morning!  This is my second post today and latest card for the Dies R Us Birthday challenge.  Come and join the fun for a chance to win a voucher to the Dies R Us Store and a Top 3 badge!

I made this for a friend who has a Summer birthday.  It was fun figuring out how to layer all these lacy dies.  The largest flower was cut from the Cheery Lynn Frangipani die.  I thought this card needed something that looked more like a rose so I turned it into one using some flower shaping tools.  The pink flowers were colored using Glimmer Mists.  Thanks for looking!

Classy Cards Girly Gingham

For the current Gingham Challenge at Classy cards 'n Such all that kept coming to mind were baby cards (especially baby girl cards.  Everyone around me is having girls this Summer!  

I cut the Memory Box Precious Mobile die three times with white, pink and yellow card stock. The white mobile was used as the base and then I took pieces of the pink and yellow die cuts and glued them on top to add dimension.  I like how the dangling hearts and stars match the other paper perfectly.  

I used two different sizes of the Spellbinders Floral Ovals die and popped up each layer with Joy! Foam Pads.  The Spellbinders Floral Ovals made the perfect lacy backdrop for a girl card.The yellow gingham oval was cut using the central oval from the Spellbinders Filigree Delight die.

To add a bit of glitz, I glued rhinestones using Art Institute's glue with ultrafine tip to some of the hearts and stars on the mobile.  This tip is perfect for small areas.  Thanks for stopping by!
