A New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges #580

Hey friends!! 

I am popping in with a card for the NEW challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. Challenge #580 is a theme challenge. It is all about HALLOWEEN!!!

Below is the challenge badge for CIC580:

We have a sponsor this time around. Mirtillamente Craft Shop generously donated our digital images. The image I used is Svario: Happy Halloween Black Cat. Isn't he so fun?

I created my background by printing a sentiment directly on the background and then using a combination of Distress Ink and Distress Oxide blended over it. I then used some Distress Stain and Distress Mica Spray over the top.

The images were colored in using colored pencils. I LOVE how this card came out!!

For more information on this new challenge, hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

That is all from me today. Thank you for stopping by. Have a FABULOUS day!!!

This week I used an image from Laurie Furnell Ink. She generously donated the Autumn Mouse Digital Stamps for the Design Team to use.

For my card, the mouse and the leaves were from the digital stamp set. I colored them in with Copic Markers and then cut each image out.

I covered the A2 card front with pattern paper and layered a panel of paper that I used some Distress Ink to ink blend a sky and some "grass." 

I stamped a small sentiment and adhered the leaves, the mouse and a stamped sunflower to the background.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

This round we used digital stamps that were generously donated to us by Laurie Furnell Ink. 

The little mouse used is from her Autumn Mouse Digital Stamps. I had to use this image because I thought it was too cute!!

I used Copic Markers to color the mouse in and mounted it over some pattern paper scraps.

I decided to use some Washi on the panel as well and adhered some enamel dots to complete my card.

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578

Hello friends!! 

I am just popping in to say that there is still time to play with the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578. It is a THEME challenge this round. It is to use PLAID on a project.

The challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578 is below:

For my project, instead of a buffalo plaid, I decided to use a piece of American Crafts "Blooming Wild" pattern paper for my project. It had all sorts of fun colors that I could choose to create accents with. I then die cut a rectangle using the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackable Dies and adhered it over the pattern paper. 

I added a scalloped frame die cut from light purple cardstock over the white panel. I then used a flower that was all ready stamped and die cut from my stash over the front. 

I used an embossed sentiment strip from my stash that I cut apart and adhered it to my card with foam adhesive. My last step was to adhere some purple gems to the front of my card and it was complete.

Hello Friends!!

There is time for a new challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. Challenge #578 is a THEME challenge. It is to create a project using PLAID!!!

The Challenge Badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578 Is below.

Instead of a card, I created a gift card holder. I used the Gift Card Bag Holder Die from the Stamp Market for this project. I photographed the bag with the inside pulled out.

I used a Buffalo Plaid stencil in pink on the white background for the pattern. I then die cut the banner with the same Stamp Market die and stamped a sentiment with The Stamp Market Gift Card Greetings Stamps.

The bag was perfect to layer some the **Stylish Oval Hello You Floral Etched Dies by Spellbinders over the top. I cannot wait to give this to someone!!!
