The Card Concept: Cozy Comfort or Vintage Hearts

 

Good Wednesday Morning! It's the middle of the month, and time for a new

challenge at the Card Concept. 

We have 2 challenge inspiration photos to choose from, and I have a card

for you using the Vintage Hearts photo.

Vintage anything is my choice, and I used the shabby chic hearts, and colors

for my Cozy card.

Before die cutting the heart wreath, I 'distressed' my white cardstock with red paint. 

Using a paintbrush, I painted on stripes of red on a diagonal.

An all die cut card, (except embossed sentiment) I did sponge ink my cocoa cups,

 and the corners of my background paper. 

Style? Layered Mixed Media

Dies from The Greetery: Hearts at Home

I have a card for the JUGS Card Challenge, ending today. Hope I make it!

Just Us Girls #493 - Photo Inspiration Week

My latest order from the Greetery arrived, and among the new treasures was this

summery themed Sea Scene die, just perfect for the challenge photo! 

Sentiment: PTI's Salt Air Sentiments

Lots of Ranger Distress Oxides applied with brushes, foam sponges and sprayed

with water and Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays.

Betsy's raindrops look just like bubbles!

You have a few hours left to play! Better hurry...

Wishing You...

It's time for a new challenge at the Card Concept, and we have this 'beachy'

 scene to inspire you!

I was instantly drawn to the shells and sand on an aqua background.

I used real sand on top of a Nichole Heady Sand Swatch stamp set, so I'm

going with a Mixed Media Card. The aqua bg is a piece of 12 x 12" wood print

designer paper that I had, but it was tan colored.

To change the color to aqua I brushed on Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst: Tiffany Lou Blue.

It has a lustrous gleam in real life.

A few of PTI's raindrops look a bit like water bubbles to me, so I added them.

All PTI product today, with the exception of the dp and sand.

My list will take you to the PTI store, where they still have all stamps and dies

at a discount.
