Two More Challenges!

Hi there Stampers! Thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by!



So yesterday I pulled out my Basic Gray, Baja Breeze and Ruby Red to play along with the folks at the Color Throw Down blog and made a card for the Diva Coffee Break Challenge. Since I already had these colors on my table I figured I'd use my scraps to make a couple more.

I wasn't sure where to start so I checked out Kerin's sketch challenge for the week over at her blog Stamps, Paper Glitter! I started again with a Whisper White card base and stamped it randomly with the flowers from Fifth Avenue Floral in Baja Breeze, Basic Gray and Ruby Red. Next I added a Baja Breeze panel that I ran through my Big Shot with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. The Ruby Red panel is embossed with the Manhattan Flower Textured Impression Die (page 202 of the IB&C)-I LOVE this look and it's a steal for $7.95!
I stamped the big flower in Basic Gray added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter with my 2 Way Glue Pen and matted it on a Basic gray panel after punching the corners with my Ticket Corner Punch. The final touches are some White Taffeta Ribbon and some gray brads in the corners.

Ingredients:
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral Paper: Ruby Red, Baja Breeze, Basic Gray, WW Ink: Ruby Red, Baja Breeze, Basic Gray Accessories: Ticket Corner Punch, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds, Dimensionals, Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Manhaatan Flower Textured Impressions Die, White Taffeta Ribbon, brads, 1/16" Punch

Hope you have a super day and have some time to create today!
hugs,
Elizabeth

  5. Beautiful! I love how you used the impressions die for the panel and not the main image. The color challenge worked beautifully for this set too, TFS!
