You Are a Beautiful Soul

Hello...Me again, back with my last post for this busy Monday to let you know today begins Challenge #19 at Make the Cards and it's a color challenge this round.  I've been invited to be a Featured Creator and I'm honored to participate in this fun challenge.  Following are the colors for this week:


I intrepret the colors as Gray, Navy Blue, Light Pink and White.  I seldom use the colors together as I'm drawn to bold colors so it was a nice challenge to use them in a design. I started my A2 sized card by stenciling a mat of gray card using the "Fizzy" stencil and Denim Blue Dye Ink from Gina K. Designs.  I set the panel aside to dry and proceeded to stamp and heat emboss a large bloom and leaves from the "Grand Garden" stamp set by Gina K. Designs.  I used Fine Detail Silver embossing powder and stamped the images on Strathmore watercolor paper.


I watercolored the images using Gansai Tambi watercolors and fussy cut the bloom and leaves.  I splattered the stenciled panel with White Gloss Spray by Dina Wakley, heat embossed the sentiment on vellum, mounted the images on foam pads and lastly added Gunmetal sequins for sparkle and shine.

Please stop by the challenge and have a look at the inspiration provided by the design team, they are a talented group!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

The Paper Funday Challenges - March 2021 Challenge

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  It's the 1st Wednesday of March and that means a new challenge has started at The Paper Funday Challenges.  The theme this month is Anything Goes with Optional Twist of Irish Luck (Add the Color Green).  We have 2 wonderful sponsors this month, Vectoria Designs and QKR Stampede.

For my design team project, I used the Queen Bees Digital Paper Pack from Vectoria Designs to create a Vintage Inspired Friendship Card in A2 size and Landscape orientation.  


The papers in the pack are gorgeous.  I selected a few images to highlight then die cut panels using Spellbinders dies and fussy cut images to bring all the elements together.  Finishing touches include ceating depth with foam pads, a simple twine bow, a copper charm embellishment, Vintage Photo distress ink to distress the edges and Gelly Roll Sparkle Pen for a bit of shine.

We hope you will join in the fun this month at The Paper Funday Challenges.  We would love to see your creations and hope to inspire you with ours.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
