There is Time for a New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!

 Hey Friends!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #616 is a THEME challenge-TREES.

I actually created TWO cards for this week. I used the Strong Oak Stencil and Die from Altnew for this card. Below is the Challenge Badge for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #618:

What was fun about making this card was I stenciled the whole tree on a panel, die cut it out and then cut it in two. This made it so I could make TWO cards from one die cut!!!

 

This was such a fun way to make easy, masculine cards!!!

I made a sympathy card with one. I used the same stencil for the grass and added some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the sky.

My second card I popped up a sentiment banner to finish off my card. I definatly will be using this set again soon!!!

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #617

Hello Friends! 

Today I am popping in with a card to remind you that there is still time to play with this round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #617 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors LAVENDER and SAGE.

This card was a lot of fun to create. I used stencils, stamps and ink blending for the background. I then used some Soot and Bundled Sage Distress Stain to flick over the green.

I know the color purple is a bit more blue than lavender but I assure you I used the Hero Arts Lavender Ink for my blending on the Poppy Stamps Nordic Belle Butterfly.

The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps and the leaf die cut is Simon Says Stamp.

There is a NEW CHALLENGE at Cupcake Inspirations-Challenge #617

 Hello Crafty Friends!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #617 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors  LAVENDER and SAGE.

I am going to come clean-this one was a tough one for me. I didn't have the "perfect" ink for the lavender color I wanted so I used what I had.

I started off my card by using the Waffle Flower Mod Blossoms Die to die cut a white panel. I then used the matching stencil, combined with Hero Arts Lavender Fields ink and a Bundled Sage Distress Ink to color it in.

I then experimented with Simon Hurley's Royal Flush Solar Paste over the flowers. It wasn't an even coverage, as you can see, but I liked the texture it gave them the panel.

When the flowers were dry, I adhered it over an A2 card base that had an embossed, canvas texture. The last step was to adhere the Concord and 9th Sentiment strips.

I used colored pencils to color in these images. I am not perfect in this medium but I like how it is coming out.

I distressed the edge of my white panel and adhered it over a pink piece of paper that I created with ink, stamps and stencils.
