Pin It
HELLO!!
I wanted to share this picture of our Sunrise here in Nebraska this morning!! It reminded me of this Challenge so I just had to share it with all of you!! =)
I wanted to stop in and share a few cards I have been creating for the
Winnie & Walter 1st Birthday Bash Celebration!! =) I'm actually NEW to them, but I had purchased 2 of their
Bold Sentiment Stamp Sets during the Holiday Sales so when I saw the FUN Challenges they were having I just KNEW I had to try and play along!! I made this card for the
Gradient Challenge with Vanessa!! I stamped my Sentiment using
Versa-Fine Black Onyx Ink and then used
Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder to Emboss it onto a strip of Vellum!! I have been taking the
Clean and Simple Card Making 4 with
OnlineCardClasses.com and
Jennifer McGuire shared a REALLY FUN
Stitching Technique where she did some stitching to add Dimension!! I thought it would be FUN to try this idea on a Sentiment rather than an Image and I
LOVE the way it turned out!! I also thought it would be FUN to do it in the Winnie & Walter Colors kinda mimicking a Rainbow Design!! I reversed the order though, just because I knew I wanted to have my stitched sentiment and some confetti coming from the Right side of my card and I thought having the Darker colors on the left side would help to balance out my card!! I think it did too!!?? I used the
W&W The Big, the Bold, and the Happy Stamp Set!!
I used a
Piercing Tool to pierce a design and then used
Embroidery Thread to follow my design!! I then embossed some
Hearts and some
Confetti and then I used
Distress Ink in the
Peacock Feathers, Peeled Paint, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, and
Picked Raspberry!! I used a Gradient affect for each of the colors and then sprinkled some water onto the panel to add extra dimension!!
I added some of my
Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Sequins and a few
Clear Crystal Sequins in both
4mm & 6mm Simon Says Stamp!! Then I added my Stitched
Vellum Sentiment Panel to my Card Base and added really thin
Black Cardstock Strips for a seamless Design!! I
LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!! I'd also like to try this only next time trying to add just a touch of the
Distress Ink Colors for a more clean look!! =)
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a
FABULOUS WEEKEND!!
