2 Challenges, one card

It's time to use our scraps on The Flower Challenge. The problem I had was choosing 

from the scrap pile! So many scraps!

This panel I did with an embossing folder, turned out badly, but I just couldn't toss it.

It was done with a brayer and Wilted Violet Distress Ink, and inked before running it

through the machine. Depending on which side you ink, you're left with a raised pattern.

The gold spray I added blobbed in too many areas, and the only way to save this piece was 

possibly to hide the blobs or cut them away.

I decided to do both, hide the blobs, and cut away a bit of edges.

I used a Poppystamps frame with an Altenew flower, and embossed a sentiment on some 

heat resistant acetate. 

The flower was both stamped and copic colored. 

The outline was stamped with Hero Arts Wet Cement, an ink I use often with copics.

I'm also entering in another favorite card challenge, Just Us Girls.

Just Us Girls Challenge #623 - Trend Week

The Flower Challenge #66 Use Scraps

You Are a Blessing

Good Sunday to you all! 

Had some time to create a card for the Flower Challenge, where the theme this month

 is to Add Sparkle.

Lots of shine and sparkle with the Greetery's new watering can.

It's not always easy to photograph sparkle, but here's a better shot of the

glitter spray and glitter glue I used.

My 'copper' watering can got some sparkle too with green and copper embossing powder.

I only used 2 of the 3 stamping steps for my copper embossed can, and versamarked

onto a teal card stock die cut.

The tiny tag is from PTI, and the sentiment can be found among the 

scripture verses in the Stamp Simply Words of Encouragement stamp set.

I'm so grateful for scripture and faith sentiments from the stamp companies.

They make it easy to send God's blessings across the miles!

Hope your week is full of God's Grace!

The Flower Challenge #47 Add Sparkle

The Card Concept Challenge:

Hi and welcome to a new challenge at the Card Concept.

Now the title to this challenge is Adventure Awaits. But I was inspired

by the tones and neutrals in the photo. Closer inspection gave me a 

sense of vintage warmth and lots of vintage texture. 

Here's my card:

Creating a card with a bit of vintage texture and warmth, I chose the Greetery's

Bountiful Wreath, and the sentiment from Bountiful Wreath.

I was late acquiring this gorgeous stamp set, and have drooled over every

card I've seen made with it. Finally it was back in stock and I 

couldn't wait to use it!

The frame is from PTI's Infinity Frames, versamarked and covered with copper 

emboss.

One more loves to share... Altenew Inks. This is a set called Coffee Break. It

includes: Sand Dunes, Rocky Shore, Mocha & Expresso. Neutral but with

warm tones, just yummy! And the way the inks cover the surface of a stamp,

well, I'm a fan. 

Hope you have a chance to play along. I love seeing all the ways the

challenge inspires you.

Happy Crafting!
