Critter challenge #26


Here is the card I made for the Critter Challenge this week. It uses one of the new techniques from the current (August/ September) newsletter called Silent Night. This technique uses Sanitizing Gel to give this wonder marbeling effect. I'm not sure I did it exactly right, because my embossing powder is so random, but I think it has a lot of character. The flower stamp is from Stampin' Up and the sentiment is a a clear set from InkaDinkado.

c4c47 and Stamp Royalty #30


I am going to try this card in two challenges. The first is at Crazy for Challenges. Here the challenge was to use a picture to inspire you. The picture was full of bright colors as are my princesses. The second challenge was at Stamp Royalty. Here the challenge was keep it simple sweetie. I got the image for this card off the internet. The wording was cut with a slice. The card is for the daughter of one of my son's friends. She is into the Disney Princesses.

Stamping Scrapping Challenge




I did the card for the challenge at Stamping Scrapping. The frog stamp and kiss me stamp is from Magnolia and the make a wish is from JustRite. I colored with marker on acetate, spritzed it with water and rubbed the cardstock into mixture. I also ran the bottom of the card through my Big Shot with a fiscars embossing plate.

MMSC #64


This is my card for the Midnight Madness Challenge. I am not really a vintage sort of person, but I won this stamp set in a basket at a local stamp store. The stamp is from Paper Inspirations. I played around with coloring it and just didn't like the look.
