I stamped my sentiment on Spellbinders Labels Four and shaded it with Memento Lulu Lavender ink while it was still in the die. I used two fancy edge pieces from Twisted Metal Tags and Accents on the corners, then mounted that to a larger Labels Four panel cut from BoBunny's Enchanted Collection paper stack. I inserted the sentiment panel into the large Twisted Metal Tags and added pop dots to give dimension. I added the sentiment piece to the card front from the same paper stack, then added some Lulu Lavender to the four corners. I finished the card with gorgeous Venise lace, silk ribbon and seam binding. My final touches were the Recollection Pearls.

It's Belli Challenge time as well, and I am using more Repeat Impressions stamps for my creation! The challenge is a Sketch challenge and you can read all about it here! I used "9012-M, Dandelion Breeze" for my image and a sentiment from Sweet n' Sassy stamps for my card!

Challenges...

Today we're focusing on Challenges! I have cards in 3 fabulous challenges to show you, and I encourage you to play in them all!! 

First, we have the Designer's Choice Challenge on the House That Stamps Built blog and Joy is the next designer up and her challenge was to make a card using something that is leftover from another project. I had started a card and used Spellbinders Edgeabilities on a piece of glitter paper, but that card seemed to go into another direction, so I put that piece aside. I pulled it out for the background for my card for this challenge, and am quite pleased how it turned out. My stamps are "912-K, Tulip Bouquet" and "8622-D, Because" from Repeat Impressions. The dies I used in this card are Nested Oval Medallion Labels by JustRite Stamps, and Spellbinders Edgeabilities Classic Triple Scallop. The image was colored with Copic markers and my silk ribbon is from May Arts and Stamp Simply.

 The second challenge is from 7 Kids College Fund Challenge blog and our challenge was to make a Monochomatic card! I love CC Design images (carried in the 7 kids store) and I just had to use Swiss Pixies Nora for my card. My sentiment is from Winter Words - Clear by JustRite Stamps. A satin bow and sweet snowflake buttons finished this card!

And the last challenge is the Belli Challenge, where there is a recipe to follow: 1 ribbon, 2 designer papers, 3 colors and 4 rhinestones/pearls must be on your card or project. My designer papers are from the s.e.i. Promise me stack and my sentiment is from Sweet n' Sassy Stamps.

Designer's Choice Challenge...

It's time for the Designer's Choice Challenge over at the House that Stamps Built! Miriam is the next designer up and her challenge was to make a card with Heat Embossing! I used a different approach to the ordinary heat embossing by stamping my snowflakes on glossy paper with Versamark and embossing with clear powder. Then I dabbed on Alcohol Inks all over the card, including the snowflakes. Once the ink was dry, I took the heat gun and reheated the embossed snowflakes and the alcohol inks shifted to show the white cardstock underneath. A fun technique you should try. You can see another card HERE where I used this same technique.

My stamp is  "8917-I, Snowflake Outline (lg)" and my sentiment is "4601-H, Snowmen fall..." by Repeat Impressions.
