Die Cutting Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

Here's my entry for the Die Cutting Challenge on the Moxie Fab Blog, http://www.moxiefabworld.com/search?updated-max=2012-01-10T06:00:00-05:00&max-results=10.

I used my Cricut Expression and the Accents Essentials cartridge to cut the elements on this card. I did a negative die cut image of the floral flourish and backed it with a piece of green striped pattern paper using pop dots to give a shadow box effect. I then added die cut flowers that I cut in two colors, dry embossed and then layered with a brad as the flower center. I finished it off with a simple birthday sentiment banner. I really like how the shadow box effect turned out, so I think I'll be using that again.

Unity Kit of the Month January Sketch Challenge

This month's Kit of the Month Sketch Challenge is:

Here's my take on the sketch using bits and pieces from three different Kits of the Month, KOM August 2009, January 2011 and April 2011. It is fun to mix and match and come up with new combinations.

Unity Stamp Company Challenge

This month's Unity Challenge is all about gift giving. So, I made a cute birthday gift tag using the Unity/Jillibean Soup co-branded set Spotted Owl Soup. I have not used this set much and it was fun to get it out and ink it up. I used my Copics to color the image and made my own background paper using one of the smaller stamps in the set. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.



Have a blessed day,

Stampendous January 2012 Challenge

This month's Stampendous Challenge is to use lots of bling on a project. I made this card using Stampendous Clear sets SSC113 and SSC134. After stamping the vine and leaf images, I colored them using Prismacolor pencils and added Stampendous Silver Blossom Sparklers Class A Peel Stickers. I used some blue gemstones for the flower centers. It needed a bit more bling so I used a beaded flower embellishment as the main focal point. I really enjoyed combining the stickers and flower with the stamped elements.



Thanks for taking a look, please leave a much appreciated comment.

Have a great day,

Stampendous Saturday Challenge

Here's my entry for the Stampendous Color Challenge. We had to use Pink, Brown, Cream and/or gold.

My flowers are stamped using the Ruffled Blooms stamp set by Stampendous with Versamark ink. I then colored the flowers with pink chalk and the background with gold chalk. I added brown to the flower centers using a colored pencil and then sprayed gold alcohol ink mist around the edges of the card stock. I stamped the sentiment, added ribbon and adhered it to the card stock using pop dots.
