Hello! Thought I'd do some catching up on my posts here. The Sweet n' Sassy Stamps Release party was a couple of weeks ago and I had uploaded these to Splitcoaststampers to get them submitted in time. Blog land was forgotten for awhile. But now, company has come & gone, hubby's at work and I'm home fighting a cold, what better thing do I have to do (other than make another challenge card)? : )
This card was for the Color Combo Challenge - Green, Orange & Yellow. The plaid paper is from an old set made by DCWV. I trimmed out the bold pinkish red strip leaving the 3 pieces shown here just the right size to glue down on the embossed green base. I wanted to play with some of my punches and make a flower using a technique Loll shared here for the center - with several small or mini (depending on size of flower) sun punch outs, cut into center then roll it into a cone shape. Glue 5-6 of these sunny cones into the center of the flower for desired fullness.

This card was for the Sketch challenge. Hmmmm, nothing to say here. I like the peachy paper. Needs something, some would probably put pearls or ribbon on it but I didn't have any that went well with it.

This card is for the CAS challenge - use Kraft on your card and for the Product challenge - use buttons & brads. Tho, when I was making it late at night, I didn't remember the AND part so it only has a button (and a charm...). : } I embossed the Kraft paper then rubbed white chalk ink over it to bring out the embossing. The butterfly charm I picked up at a garage sale of a former scrapbooker and I was able to carefully cut off the ring/charm attachment, looks so much better!

This card is for the Inspiration challenge - a photo of a white wall with large chevron pattern on it and a couch with lots of pillows & accessories all with colorful chevron (zigzag) patterns on them. With no zig zag stamps in my stash, my collection of baby ric rac came to mind. I think I've got one too many rows here, almost ran out of room for the sentiment box. Kinda different yet fun!

W O W ! ! ! I like, I like. I went to the site for making the daisy flower, step #9 was a WOOOW for me. Thanks for that tutorial - I am excited to try that one.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was interesting how you placed the oval die cuts on your "peachy" card.
I would not have thought to wipe chalk over the embossing - neat idea.
And whooopppeee she has found a use for her baby ric rac.
Busy, busy. Cute cards. TFS ! ! !
