Stitched Birthday

 

WT1048 - Cotton

For my card, I pulled out one of my favorite stitched die cuts from Spellbinders. I then used some cotton DMC floss that has been on the back of my craft chair for a few years. I am trying to use it up and this die cut is perfect for making some gorgeous cards with it. Once it was stitched, I added some green gems and the sentiment popped up on dimensionals.

SC1057 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I pulled out some tissue paper that has been glued on card stock for a couple of years waiting for me to put on a card. I cut it down with die cuts and created the background. It is then layered on gold mirror card stock. I then added the sentiment and this wonderful elephant image that is one of my all-time favorites from Stampin Up.

Lighthouse

 

MMTPT872 - Lighthouse / Sanding

For my card, I pulled out this great image from DRS Designs. They have retired but I still love their images and use them often.

The image is colored up with copics and layered in distressed tan card stock. I sanded the top of the card stock a bit and added some additional copic coloring to each of the layers with the darkest on top.

The card is finished with a Tim Holtz sentiment.

Always and Forever

 

FS948 - This week's incredibly talented FS is Kristina aka andersen65. I found this INSPIRATION. I was inspired by the single rose and used this Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Rose. The base is Memory Box die cuts then the rose was layered and added. The card was finished with the Altenew Sentiment popped up on dimensionals and some flowers and leaves punched from scraps that I keep in my stash.

Forget the Cake

 

IC1009 - Raspberry Creek Fabrics & Pinterest - INSPIRATION

F4A789 - Twist (More than one challenge)

For my card, I pulled out some fun purple papers and my purple scrap drawer and created this layout. I added some purple rickrack from my stash.

Next, I stamped this image from Stampin Up and colored it with copics finishing it with the birthday sentiment under the image.

I then die cut the image and left it in the die cut to sponge some purple around the image.

The image is popped up on dimensionals and the card was finished with the die cut 21 from white glitter paper and a few purple pearls.

Scrappy Burlap

 

WT1047 - Burlap

For my card, I found I had a bunch of scrap pieces of burlap in my brown designer paper. It was really adding a lot of bulk to the scrap drawer. I wondered if I could recreate this card with a scrappy background and YES, it turned out perfect.

I added several gems to really pop against the card front and popped the sentiment up on dimensionals. Now I have a way to use up more of my scrap burlap and create a really fun card front.
