Birthday Card – CC502 and PTI Make it Monday #186

I had an idea in my head for this week’s Papertrey Ink Make it Monday (#186). Before I started, I checked for the latest Splitcoaststamper’s Color Challenge (#502 “Misty Green Midnight”). Voila! A card was born.

I die cut multiple birthday words (one with the stamping on the front, one with adhesive for the bottom layer, one just plain white) and kept the pieces together by using washi tape (not sure if I saw Julie Ebersole or Jennifer McGuire do this…or maybe both of them?!)

In the gluing process, I messed up the dot for the letter I, but I knew that my enamel dots were the perfect size to use as a substitute.

Christmas Card – CC496

This week’s Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge (CC496) caught my eye. The challenge colors are Cherry Cobbler, Island Indigo, and Soft Sky, With dessert option of Christmas theme.

I stamped ornaments, embossed with metallic (told you I would keep using metallics this week!) embossing powder, and die cut them. I also die cut the Soft Sky layer so that I could embed the red die cut ornament  (top right ornament) into the layer and not have ornaments stacked up too high.

Here is a close up of the metallic shine:

Abstract Stenciled Birthday Card – CC485

 

I made this background a few weeks ago, for Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge CC485. And didn’t like it right away. But I kept it around, pondering what to do with it.

I applied inks directly to the stencils from my ink pads, and pressed onto wet watercolor paper.

Thinking of You – CC484

Here is another stab at last week’s Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge, Cherry Pie Delight (Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight).

Actually, this background was my first attempt, BUT, it did not turn out as I imagined, and I set it aside to dry (I don’t throw wet paper into my circular file!). When it was dry, I decided that even if it didn’t turn out as I thought it would, it was interesting. I overstamped and embossed the tulips in black.
