Papertrey's 8th Anniversary! A Challenge Card....

Hello again!   I'm back today with a card I'm going to enter in one of Papertrey Ink's 8th Anniversary challenges.   The mission:   use a stamp set that hasn't yet seen ink!   Oh my, I have lots of those, can you relate?    Ha ha!!   I pulled out Doodlie-Do - man, I love that set.   Why have I not used it before now?!?

I used a stencil and some translucent embossing paste in the upper left corner of my card base.   The focal panel is colored in with Prismacolors and edged with Distress ink.   The little butterfly was molded with Martha Stewart Crafters Clay.  Fun!

There are lots of festivities going on over at Papertrey Ink .   Head over there to check it out!

Congrats! A Winnie & Walter Birthday Bash Card

I'm back with another card for Winnie & Walter's first Birthday Bash celebration!  This one is for the Gradient Challenge with Vanessa .  I used the Scenery: Big Bang Classic Star Creative Screenings with embossing paste with Distress Ink reinkers to get the gradient look.   The 'Congrats' is a digital cut file from Winnie & Walter from the The Big, the Bold And You set.   It was die cut twice - once covered with silver ink, and once covered with Distress Ink.   After I adhered the two, offset just a bit, I covered the entire word with Glossy Accents.

I stamped the supporting sentiment and mounted the panel onto cardstock covered with Distress Ink for a perfect match!  And of course, there are a few of my beloved sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to add some sparkle & shine!

Head over to the Winnie & Walter blog for your chance to play along with these fun challenges - there are 10 (!!) of them!
