Perfect Sentiments Challenge 15

Love-Love-Love this challenge!!  Using a birthday sentiment-you need to do some resist embossing.

I've taken a shot of the plain paper showing my first couple of steps.  I Embossed the paper using SU dots. Rubbed Versa Mark on top and heat embossed dazzlin diamonds.  The I took my sponge and rubbed distress ink over the entire page.  As you can see-the ink doesn't stain where the heat embossing has been done.  It's one of my favorites!  Altering paper.

 Then I took it a step further.  I die cut a leaf & used the pattern to ink on top of it all. As you can tell-where the original heat embossing was-the image resisted more.

I embossed my sentiment with Dazzling Diamonds & then heat embossed again with black embossing powder. cut it out using scissors with a little scallop.  Outlined it with the bigger scalloped edges.

The Butterfly was die cut Stampin Up die. I used 2 layers of paper & one layer of vellum.  Still have the vellum challenge in my blood!  I attached them using a brad.

VIOLA!  My finished card.  I love it!
Hope you'll be inspired to join the challenge.  We have a wonderful prize from My Little Somethings







        I'm looking forward to seeing what YOU create!

Card Patterns sketch 148 Challenge

Loved the sketch @ Card Patterns. This was alot of fun! Making the panels was something I hadn't done.

You can't tell real well, but I put glossy accents on the LOVE.  I love the lace/ribbon-I hot glued that on the back of the circle. I distressed each panel & circle with Tim Holtz red berries. 

Vintage Boudoir Week #96 Challenge

I loved the colors in the photo @ The Shabby Tea Room. I just  had to do a card.  I don't have a dress form so I hand drew one & cut it out.  Turned out pretty well I think.

I used several of my favorite things: Tim Holtz leaf die, pearls, emboss folder Stampin Up.  The first photo is the correct color.  My close up looks light blue. I love distressing & making vintage cards.  Put some glossy accents over the embossed areas & the leaf.

Creative Scrappers #191

There is a great sketch @ Creative ScrappersI had to do a layout of my new Grandbaby!!  This was tons of fun. I listed all her stats!  She's only 1 1/2 days old in the pic. 

 I used my white gel pen to create dots on the words & sewing look on hearts.

Word Art Wednesday 

It's that time again-time to jump in and be inspired and hopefully inspire someone else!

 


The font on this is wonderful!  Here's my card:

Just like a man & woman growing up in different neighborhoods, being taught by different parents-my vines were stamped & colored in two different colors.  When we meet & fall in love we intertwine and make something wonderful-a FLOWER!  A LIFE!
