You are a Classic

Good morning! Just dropping by very quickly with another one of the recent guy cards I made for a friend that had requested them! This was the first time I inked up this Neat and Tangled set - and I love it!

I watercolored and fussy cut it out - adding the sentiment inside the image, then mounting with foam adhesive over my background. Added some pattern paper from my scrap bin layered behind, a bit of glitter washi tape, and a few wood veneer stars to finish it off!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!!!

Little Tangles Challenge #64 - Hello

Good morning! Excited to be joining the Little Tangles Design Team for 2016 - and it's time for our first challenge of the year! The challenge is appropriately, hellos! Here is my card:

I used the darling Life is Beautiful stamp set, and Tiny Triangles Dies for my card, only used it with some embossing pads instead of cutting all the way through the cardstock - a great way to create a soft background and stretch your dies!

I stamped the sweet girl and colored her out, then fussy cut out - then heat embossed the sentiment on a hand trimmed black cardstock banner. I machine stitched the green panel to some vellum trimmed slightly smaller than my card base, then used foam adhesive behind the green to attach to the cardbase. That way the vellum is floating in all it's lovely softeness around the edges of the card! I then attached the girl and sentiment also with foam adhesive. Added part of a doily on the side, a bit of washi tape, some jute twine, and an enamel dot to finish off.

Below are links to most of what I used on these cards. Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you will join in with the challenge and play along!

Sparkle and Shine - Calm and Bright

Good morning! It's time for the final challenge of 2015 over at the Sparkle and Shine Challenge Blog - this week we have another inspiration photo challenge, and a prize sponsored by Winnie and Walter! This is my final post as part of the Design Team for Sparkle and Shine - and it has been a fun year! However, I have a couple of fun new opportunities coming up this next year (more details soon!) - and want to allow enough time to continue to enjoy creating! So, this is farewell - although I will still be playing along anytime I possibly can!

Here is our inspiration photo:

I used an adorable Neat and Tangled set and heat embossed my image and sentiment on watercolor paper. (I first cut the sentiment in half to make it fit across the card rather than stacked - super scary the first time I did it, but really not a big deal now!) I added some bright watercolors from the inspiration photo, then attached to my card base with some washi, a scrap of doily, some black thread, and some Pretty Pink Posh sequins. 

Our amazing sponsor this time around is Winnie & Walter. The winner will receive:

I hope you'll join in and play along! Looking forward to seeing your creations! My supplies are all linked below if you're interested. Thanks for stopping by - have a wonderful day!!!
