Hi everyone! Finally Friday, so that is good, and hopefully I will get lots of crafty things done this weekend. Are you having any crafty time this weekend?
But before it starts, I wanted to share with you a card:
I decided to go for the color combination challenge at Hero Arts this month,
and I combined it with the current Simon Says Stamp "thanks" Challenge.
I started by coloring a panel of white cardstock with Broken china distress ink, applying most of the ink on the edges. Then I stamped the Flower Dot Pattern over it with the same ink, but before stamping it, I removed some of the ink from the stamp, to make it look more distressed.
Then I stamped the sentiment onto some white cardstock using Gathered Twigs distress ink (from the fall limited edition pack). The sentiment was too long for what I wanted, so I cut it in "half", and I can stamp it together again whenever I want to. That is why you have to love clear stamps ;)
Anyway, I took another strip of white cardstock and colored it using Gathered twigs and a foam applicator. Glued the sentiment over this panel and then glued this to the front of the card. Distressed then all the edges using the paper distresser, and applied more Broken China ink.
For the flower, I started by coloring some white cardstock with promarkers in pink and green, and then I stamped the flower and the leave a couple of times. For the flower I used Gathered Twigs ink and for the leaves, Peeled Paint. Hand cut everything and added some shading to the leaves using the same ink and an applicator.
I decorated the edges of the flower with Diamond Stickles. I used a brush to apply it, cause I didn't want a lot of glitter, and then I covered it with Glossy Accents. Added the flower to the front of the card and finished!
Hope you liked the card, and thanks for stopping by today, and before I go, I want to share with you some good news. Today I was awarded the "Honorable Gnome" over at the Lawnscaping blog, for their "thanks" challenge.
Yay!!!! Thank you Lawnscaping!!! They will be posting their new challenge on Monday, so don't miss it!!
Have a good weekend!!!
Hi everyone!
I hope last week was good for you, cause I had an awesome one. I got a job, and I am starting next week, so I don't have as much time for crafting as I would like (sorry about not blogging so much), because I have to get some things ready.
And one of my cards was selected as one of the Fab Five Winners for the Hero Arts Challenge for September!!!
I couldn't believe it!!! I was screaming, jumping around the house like a crazy person, soooooo happy! So I won a 50$ shopping spree at the Hero Arts Online Store! I had so much fun looking around, but it was so difficult to choose, because my wish list is veeeeery long!
Anyway, cant wait for my new goodies to get here, so I can play with them and make some new cards! So exciting!
Today I'm sharing with you another Halloween card with you! I had a lot of fun making this one:
All the die cuts are from Hero Arts, and I die cut them all from white cardstock and colored them with Distress inks. I covered the sentiment and the spiders with Glossy Accents and added some googly eyes to the spiders. Mounted them on the front of the card with dimensionals and glues the panel to the front of a card base.
Here is a close up:
It was a very quick card and I love using the Hero Arts designs for the silhouette and distress inks, perfect combination!
Make sure you go check out their new designs, those Halloween tags are awesome! And if you don't have a silhouette, get some of their Digikits, they are so versatile! Love them!!
Hope you liked it and thanks for stopping by! Hopefully I will be here again tomorrow!!
