November Rainbow Card Challenge

Howdy!

Today over at the Rainbow Card Challenge Blog. We have a NEW challenge! That is to create a Sparkling Sapphire monochromatic card.


For today's card, I heat embossed the sentiment. And then I brought out my Amazon makeup brushes and Tim Holtz inks, along with a spray bottle. After I was satisfied with the result from the blending and spraying with water. I used red line tape to glue the front of the card onto the base. That is because the front panel is a bit flimsy now after all that blending. Then I brought out the enamel dots and scattered them around the card.

Stamps: Visible Image Dare to be Different
Paper: CTMH White Daisy
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Salty Ocean, Distress Oxide Ink Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans, Broken China
Accessories: Eyelet Outlet Enamel Dots, Amazon makeup brush, Memory Depot Clear Detail embossing powder

October Collected Crafty Collaboration

Howdy!

Today's card is for the Collected Crafty Collabs Hop! Which is a Monthly Themed Hop For Supplies You've Squirreled Away! We are part of the Handmade Happiness group on Facebook. Which is a great community of paper crafters of all styles.

The theme for this month's collaboration is 

 

I chose to go with some Nuvo Gilding Flakes in Sunkissed Copper, Silver Bullion, and Radiant Gold. I also did some die cutting of the word mahalo. "Mahalo" is a Hawaiian word meaning thanks, gratitude, admiration, praise, esteem, regards, or respects. I used both the die and it's shadow. For the shadow I did some partial die cutting. 



If this is your first stop on the hop. Your next stop is 
Valerie Powell. But if not then you were last at Natasha Davies.
