Happy Birthday

I am squeeking in at the last minute to share my birthday card for my son. I am playing with Watercooler Wednesday WWC192. To make my card, I used Disrtress Oxide inks, Concord & 9th's Every Tintables Card Pack, Everyday Stamp Set and Everyday Circle Dies. I embossed the sentiment in white, sprayed the top panel with clear shimmer spray and added some twine.

I chose to make a shaker card with one of the dies from the Stampendous Leaf Die Set. I cut the leaf from a panel of PTI White Linen cardstock and added a pocket of sequins behind it. I put a piece of watercolor cardstock that had been smooshed with various fall colors behind the pocket to give it a little background color. I then cut that panel with the large frome from Avery Elle Wonky Stitches. I added the Autumn Dancing sentiment from So Suzy Stamps.

Creative With Stamps Challenge #31 is up and running with the theme of "HALLOWEEN OR LEAVES". Fall is my favorite season. I love everything about it from warm days and cool nights to the colors, smells, foods, etc.

For my card, I decided on a leaf theme using Stampendous Cling Rubber Pen Pattern Leaves stamps and dies. I stamped one of the leaves with VersaMark ink, embossed it with copper EP, colored with DO inks, and sprayed it with sheer shimmer spray. I die cut a second leaf from kraft paper, ran it through my corrugator, sponged some distress ink on the edges and used it as a background piece placed behind the embossed leaf for a shadow effect.

The Challenge Sponsor is Pattie's Creations Digital Stamps. 

Challenge winner will receive 3 images from Pattie's ETSY Shop.

Thrilled For You

It's time for a new challenge at Addicted To CAS with Code Word DIAMOND.  I have a dear friend who has met the love of her life, and I have a feeling there is a wedding in her not-too-distant future. I was inspired by her good fortune to make a card using Paper Smooches "polishes" dies using silver sparkle paper for the ring band, and a rhinestone sticker for the "diamond".  I have a lot of beautiful lace in my stash, so I decided to add some to the wrist for this special occasion.
