Color Challenge and News

Over at Come and Get It this week we have a new Color Challenge for you.  For my card I used the flower stamp from Just Believe and the sentiment is from Heard from the heart stamp set. I used the flower stamp and stamped it with Versamark ink and then embossed it with white embossing powder. then punched them out, and layered them onto a piece of Whisper White, then that was layered onto Perfect Plum. The card base is Baja Breeze, then layered with Whisper White and the sentiment stamped onto the bottom of it and the little hearts were punched with the 3 heart punch. On another note, we are having a Design Team Call over at Come and Get it and we have one new designer Judy McKay. Welcome Judy. So go check out her card and the rest of the design teams cards.

A Chickadee

Sketch 14
Here is a card I made using the Beautiful Season and Petite Pairs sets, as well as the music wheel. The paper is from the Deck the Halls papers which I hoarded some from last year cause I really love it. I also used some antique and vintage brads, and crochet trim. I used blender pens and ink to color the image, in old olive, always artichoke, cherry cobbler, basic grey, and river rock, I distressed and sponged the edges in crumb cake and put it together.

Ice Skaters

This is a card I made , using the En Francais, Four the Holidays, Serene Snowflakes and Winter Post sets. The skaters I stamped in brown stazon, and while it was still wet I used clear embossing powder on them and then colored the white areas with white watercolor pencil. then the snowflakes which are not as noticable in the picture are stamped in white craft ink and embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder. then the edge was put a bit of glue and then added the silver glitter glass. The background is done in by stamping the en francais and then I cut it into pieces, and used the bottom and top of it, and stamped more snowflakes on a piece in the center. and all was sponged around the edge with early espresso. The greeting was stamped on very vanilla card stock then sponges a bit, and then a glimmer brad was inserted. with the greeting.
Thanks for looking Cindy.
