Be Mine

 

IC934 - At Home - INSPIRATION

I was inspired by the pillows and used that for my inspiration. I die cut the pieces to the Tim Holtz chocolate box and layered using cream, tan and dark brown to represent white chocolate, chocolate and dark chocolate.

I also die cut some light pink and added some red to add a bit more color to the chocolate pieces along with some stickles.

Under the top candy box I added a layer of doily and under the base heart I added some pink feathers.

The card was finished with a Be Mine tag and pink ribbon.

FF23ShoeGirl - Large Print Designer Paper (Bring out those designer papers with very large images or designs and show us how you use them)

For my card, I found this really large, printed wreath in my paper pack. It is meant for a 5.5 x 5.5 card. I usually don't make cards that large as postage is a bit more for them. I used a piece of acetate that is measured 4.25 x 5.5 to find where to cut down the image so it would work on a smaller card front. I then glued it to the card front and added a dimensional flower and some punched leaves from my stash to add some interest to the wreath.

Now some might think well you will need to add extra postage for the flower. Yes, if I were mailing this, I would still need extra postage but this one will be hand delivered. :)

FF23tessaduck - Brenda's gift card holder

For my gift card holder, I followed the directions Brenda provided using green shimmer card stock. I then embossed just the front of the card stock to add some interest.

The collar was fussy cut and trimmed with some black gems. I used some scrap black card stock and die cut the gold belt to add a belly band to the gift card holder.

I did the emboss resist for the snowflake and used pink for my nontraditional color.

I created the layout, stamped the horse and colored the image with copics.

I then stamped the birthday sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals.

The card was finished with several black gems.

SC981 - This week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I used some fall-colored card stock for the base then layered it on a coordinating rust colored paper. The center panel was trimmed with gold and sponged with green and blue distress oxide ink.

All the pieces for the scene were cut from paper scraps and layered and I added a birthday sentiment to the clouds. A couple of elements in the scene were popped up on dimensionals and the scene was finished with a flower from my stash and Nuvo Drop.
