MMSC #91

I am running really behind this week. I usually have this done on the weekend. This is my card for the Midnight Madness Challenge this week. The technique on the flower is from Technique Junkies and is called Mini Kissing. The beautiful gold edged ribbon on the top I got from The Paper Temptress. The ribbon has a thread running through it so you can just pull it to make the ruffle. I used gold ribbon then to cover the thread. The stamp set is from Stampin' Up.

Do You Stack Up #6

Here is my card for the challenge for DYSU. The challenge was to use ribbon. I used ribbon on the pieced section in the center and the added the ribbon stripes. I am not one to do really dimensional cards, but this flowere is the rage on Stampin' Up sites right now. I know I can hand deliver the card so that works.

MMSC #90 and Critter #51

The sketch for this card came from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. The challenge at Critter Sketch Challenge Blog was to make a card with a critter or animal on it. This is a valentine card for my husband. Yes he is a big hunter. I colored the deer with copic markers.

Do You Stack Up #5

Here is my card for the Red challenge at Do You Stack UP. The stamp is from Artistic Outpost and the Background technique is called Distressed Colorblocking. This technique is so easy and really gives a great distressed look. Mom if you look at this card guess who's birthday card this is?

MMSC #89

Here is my card for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week. I needed a birthday card for my daughter. The flower is embossed in white and then I took a Versamark pen and used it on the inside of the flowers and embossed it again with shiny embossing powder. I saw this on Stamp TV. The paper is from SEI and also has glitter on it. I also made a layer of the same glitter on the layer under the main image.

MMSC #88 and Do You Stack Up #4

The sketch for this card came from the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. Another great sketch. The other challenge was at Do You Stack UP. The challenge here was to use patterned paper. This is a really hard one for me because you just can't use your designer paper because then when that perfect project comes along you won't have that paper. As if there is never going to be another beautiful paper out there. Yeh right!!! My goal this year is to dig into that stash and use it don't hoard it. Thanks for looking

MMSC #87 and Do You Stack UP #3

I used the sketch from Midnight Madness for this card. The challenge at Do you Stack Up was to use pink. The paper and the middle stamp is from Stampin UP. I used the technique of torn frame from Technique Junkies for the heart. I love the dimension that it gave the heart.
