Here is my take on this challenge.

When I saw the Stamping Bella Curvy Girl Namaste Cling Stamp

I knew I had to use it. Who does not need a little Namaste in their life right now?

I started by creating my background circle with

white, Sea Glass card stock and Nested Circles Die by Simon Says Stamp.

I used watering can embossing powder by Ranger Ink and stamps

from the Beautiful Butterfly Stamp Set to create my sentiment.

 When I am in a crafty rut, my go to is pattern paper.

This light pink design is from “Positively Peppy" by My Favorite Things

I adhered that to a card base made of Cotton Candy Card Stock by Simon Says Stamp

A final touch of Sequins by Simon Says Stamp and

some pink gems that I had in my stash by Studio Katia

That completes my take on ANYTHING GOES

Inky Paw's Challenge - Color Challenge

                  Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is a refresher.

 MY take on the challenge is a simple one that uses up some of

the scrap paper we all have in abundance in our craft spaces.

I recently moved around a few things in my crafty space.

I use the ELFA system in my office and got a few extra slide-out baskets 

to put my scrap paper and bits closer to my desk.

Best idea ever! Do not know why I did not do this sooner.

I went right to my scrap paper drawer, pulled out the challenge colors

 and got to work creating a background for this card.

I cut a 1 ½ x 5 ½ strip of paper out of each one of the colors.

I took those strips and glued them to a piece of plain white cardstock.

I taped the Tumbling Hearts Stencil over the top of the strips of paper 

and a applied a good amount of clear Versamark ink over the top.

I heat set the Versamark with clear embossing powder,

and sat back to admire all the cute hearts.

The Large Scalloped rectangle from the Frames and Flags Die Set is

what I die cut my stripped background from.

My featured stamp is Roses by Newtons Nook Designs.

I made the bold choice of keeping the rose white

with just a bit of gray highlights and green leaves.

I used a sentiment that is part of the Roses Stamp Set.

I stamped the sentiment onto a banner that was created with the Banner Trio Dies.

For a final touch, I added some shimmer to the rose with a Spectrum Noir shimmer pen. 

Now it is your turn!

Make Your Own Backround - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 

Here at the

This week it time to Make Your Own Background

Featuring Products by Brutus Monroe

You do not have to use the featured company to join in.

If you have some of their product in your stash?

We would LOVE to see them used.

Here is my take on this challenge.

 I chose to use the Hoiden Stencil by Brutus Monroe for my card.

I inked up my stencil with a combo of Faded Jeans.

 and Hickory Smoke Distress Ink onto#120-pound white cardstock.

I just love the large open space that this stencil has with a unique round design.

After the ink dried, grabbed a mini mister with a little bit of water

 and Confetti White Perfect Pearls.

A quick spritz on top gave the front of this card some pretty sheen.

I attached my card to a card base made from Soft Navy Cardstock.

 Next, I die cut out the Sending Smiles die out of

 Lipstick Red and White cardstock by Simon Says Stamp

The sentiment comes from the Just Miss You Stamp Set by Simon Says Stamp.

A finishing touch of Christmas Red Stickles on the heart completes this card.

That completes my take on Make Your Own Background.

I almost forgot the good news!

Inky Paws Challenge - Color Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

 
It is time for a COLOR CHALLENGE!

Here is my take on the color challenge.

The Candy Heart Stamp Set is perfect for the challenge colors.

Who does not love those tasty conversation hearts!

With the challenge colors being a natural for the candy hearts,

I turned my attention to the background of the card.

the Decorative Square from the Square Frames Die Set makes a great back drop. 

I chose the Slimline Frames and Portholes Die and

the Teal color for the base of my card.

For some added bling, I got out my stash of STICKLES

and added some glitter on the edges.

I chose a sentiment from the Floral Roundabout Stamp Set to complete my card.

Now it is your turn.

Show us your take on these fun challenge colors

Layer It Up - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 

Here at the

This week it time to LAYER IT UP

Featuring Products by KITCHEN SINK STAMPS

You do not have to use the featured company to join in.

If you have some of their product in your stash?

We would LOVE to see them used.

Here is my take on this challenge.

 I decided to layer up stamps and stencils.

I started with the base of #120 white Simon Says Stamp Cardstock.

There is going to be a lot of ink on this paper, so this base had to be sturdy.

Layer One

Paver Blocks Stencil by Simon Says Stamp and Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

Layer Two

The LOVE stamp from the Love Greetings Mix by Simon Says Stamp

and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.

Layer Three

A heart element from the same stamp set with Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Ink.

To complete my card, I stamped my sentiment onto #120 white Card Stock.

Using Versamark Ink and Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder I heat set my sentiment.

 When my sentiment had cooled, I went into my die stash and

 grabbed my favorite Sizzix heart die.

I propped my heart onto some foam and added it to the front of my card.

 Some sparkle with super cute Pink Sequins by Pretty Pink Posh completed my card.

That completes my take on LAYER IT UP

I almost forgot the good news!
