Hello!!
I'm stopping in to share the Card I've made for the Get Sketchy Challenge #2 with Joni over on the WPlus9 Blog!! =) I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Sketch and have SEVERAL Card Designs that I Sketched out using it!! I thought t would be Neat to use the WPlus9 Love Mom Layers Dies and create the Base for my Card!! I Die Cut some Distress Water Color Paper and then cut a section out using my Paper Trimmer!! I used another Distress Water Color Paper to Die Cut another Stitched Panel and then I used some Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio and alittle Salty Ocean Distress Stain to Water Color the entire Piece!! I LOVE the Neat Marbled Color that I got!! I Layered the Cut Distress Water Color Pieces on top of the Water Colored Panel leaving a 1/8 inch Border once it was Dry and after I had Stamped and Embossed part of my Sentiment!! I then Glued down the Blessed Die Cut Word that I Die Cut along with some Fun Foam and covered with Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter!! I saw Yana Smakula do this on a Video awhile ago and I KNEW I wanted to do it for this Delicate Blessed Word Die Cut from the WPlus9 Doodle Buds Die Set so I could have the Dimension without having the Mess of either Layering several die cut words or trying to use regular foam tape pieces!! I LOVE how easy it was and how AMAZING it looks!! =) I stamped several of the Tiny Flowers from the New Exclusive WPlus9 and Simon Says Many Thanks Stamp Set!! I created two different Colors of Flowers using different Shades of Purple!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Leaves and added an Embossed Flower Center to the Stamped Flowers!! I LOVE the look of Shimmer in real Life!! I thought that these Flower Images from the WPlus9 Doodle Buds Stamp Set looked like Butterflies too!!?? So I decided to use them as Butterflies on my Card!! I Stamped and Embossed them then Die Cut them using the coordinating Doodle Buds Dies!! I used Distress Inks in Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber to Water Color them and then added some Rock Candy Glitter for some Sparkle!! Then I added s Sprinkling of Crystal Clear Sequins from Simon Says Stamp and a Few Black Gel Pen Dots for some added interest!! Hope you Like my card as much as I do!!

I'm also playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Hello!!I'm stopping in to share a Card I've made for the
Throwback Thursday #5 - Fresh Cut Wreaths Challenge over on the WPlus9 Blog!!

I think you either LOVE or HATE Purples and I happen to LOVE them!! Infact, Lavender was one of my Wedding Colors!! =) I started by Stamping Several of the Wreath Images from the Fresh Cut Wreaths Stamp Set!! I Embossed the Leaves with some Lindy's Stamp Gang Iridescent Embossing Powder!! I Fussy Cut the Heart Wreath out and then I added it to the Die Cut the Large Stitched Love Mom Layers Die for my Card Front!! I used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to add a FUN Glow of Color Behind the Heart Wreath and then I used the Hand Lettered Thanks Word Die Cut and then Stamped the rest of the Sentiment!!

Hello Baby Girl w/ WPlus 9 & Pretty Pink Posh!! =)

Pin It



Hello!!
One Last Card for the Water Color Blog Hop hosted by Pretty Pink Posh!! I'm also playing along with the WPlus 9 Throwback Thursday Challenge #4!! I was Inspired by Maureen's Design in the Card above!! =)
I had gotten the Unforgettable Stamp Set from WPlus 9 and the coordinating Unforgettable Dies awhile ago and I needed a Baby Girl Card for a Friend so I decided this was the PERFECT Time to use them!! =) I started by Stamping and Embossing the Sweet Little Elephant Image onto some Distress Water Color Paper!! I then used my Distress Markers to Water Color the Image!! I mixed SEVERAL Colors to get this shade of Grey!! =) I then Stamped and Embossed the Wreath from the Easter Blessings Stamp Set and did some Masking to OMIT the Sentiment that is on the Banner onto some Distress Water Color Paper too!! I Die Cut Several Spring Wreath Images and a Few of the Flowers as well from some Distress Water Color Paper that I had Water Colored and some Vellum too!! I then added some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker to the Ears, Cheek, Nails and all the Flowers on the Wreath!! Then I added a SWEET Layered Die Cut Flower to it's Head!! =) I took the Tiny "Baby Girl" Sentiment from the Onesie Twosie Stamp Set and Stamped and Embossed it on the Banner!! I wanted the Sentiment to read Hello Baby Girl!! So I Die Cut the Hand Lettered Hello Die three times from some Distress Water Color Paper to add some dimension!!  I Die Cut one of the Stitched Borders 3 Dies in the Lower Bottom of my Water Colored Card Front and then added Foam Tape to Pop it up off the Card Front!! I added all of my Elements and then felt like something was missing!!?? So I decided to add a Few Confetti Images in Black from the WPlus9 Borders & Backgrounds Stamp Set!! I then added some of the Pretty Pink Posh Crystal Clear Sequins in both 4mm and 6mm and my Card was Finished!! I REALLY LOVE how it turned out and I KNOW it will be cherished!! =)

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a Fabulous Week!!

Throwback Thursday #2 Challenge w/ WPlus9 ~

Pin It


Hello!!
I'm stopping in today to share the card I've made for the
Throwback Thursday #2 - Very Vintage Florals Challenge on the WPlus9 Blog!!
I looked through my stash and needing some Birthday Cards, I decided to use the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set along with the coordinating Sweets & Treats Filler Stamp Set and the Sweets & Treats Die Set!! For my Background I've used the Borders & Backgrounds 1 Stamp Set and for my Label I used the Very Vintage Greetings Stamp Set then I Die Cut it wih the Coordinating Label Layers 3 Die  and then layered it with a Black Cardstock Die Cut using the Label Layers 2 Die!!
          
Gold is a SUPER BIG Trend right now and I thought it would be FUN to have my Background in Ranger Gold Embossing Powder and some Bright Pink Ranger Embossing Powder on some WPlus9 Black Cardstock!! I added some Rock Candy Distress Glitter to the Daisy and then a Pink Bow finishes it off!! I stamped the HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Birthday on the Inside of my Card using some of the same Gold Embossing Powder!! I just LOVE the look!!  =)

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Hello!!
I'm stopping in to share a couple cards that I have made for the New WPlus 9 Throwback Thursday Challenge on their Blog!! I don't have the Guiding Light Stamp Set, but after looking through my stash and seeing a couple other challenges that are going right now, I decided to use the Fanciful Feathers Stamp Set and the Coordinating Fanciful Feathers Dies!!
 
I wanted to use some of my FAVORITE Melissa Frances Gold Glass Glitter and thought it would be BEAUTIFUL to add it to the opening of a Die Cut Feather!! Gold has been a HOT trend lately and I have found myself WANTING to use it on almost EVERY Project I make!! I thought about Creating a Shaker Element too!!?? I LOVE them!! In the end though, I decided against the Shaker and just went with an ENTIRE Gold Glass Glittered Feather!! SWOON!! This makes me SO HAPPY!!  =) I hope you like it as much as I do!!??

 

 

I'm also linking this up to the Simon Says Stamp Monday and Wednesday Challenges!!
This weeks Challenges are B: is For!!?? BLING and Things that Fly!!
