Prickley Pear Card

Hi everyone, welcome to my Monday post with Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  Today I have a card featuring two stamps, the "Clock Face & Wings" and the sentiment from "Clearly Beautiful Hibiscus".  The colors are based on the color challenge #35 over at CR84FN, beautiful combo.  I used my Cricut to cut the 2 fancy label layers and the gray circular shape around the scalloped circle.  The corners and the swirls by the butterfly I cut with Quickutz dies and covered with a product called Ferro metal effect, it's made by Viva and it gives the look of aged metal to whatever surface you apply it, very fun product to work with.

I used the "Scalloped Circle" die from PPRS and cut the shape from green patterned paper and stamped the sentiment on it.  The butterfly image I stamped on purple patterned paper and shaded with distress ink.

Hope you enjoyed my card, thank you for stoping by.
Have a great day.

PPRS & CR84FN Color Challenge

Good morning, I hope everyone had a great weekend, we had a very quite weekend so we got to catch up on all our recorded TV shows.  Today I have a card I made with this super cute image from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps, it's one of their red rubber images and it's called "Play Me a Tune", I stamped the image on white cardstock with red StazOn ink and used the largest Spellbinders Labels Five die to cut it.  For the flower looking border on the left I used a new border punch I got on Thursday, it's from EK and it's called "Flower Burst", I applied some glue on the edge and added this pretty pink glitter from MS.  The sentiment is from the "Blobby Flowers" clear stamp set also by PPRS. 

I made this flower with the "Blobby Flowers" stamps and the coordinating dies, because I wanted to add more dimension to the flower, I cut in between each petal and shaped with embossing tools.  The leaves I made with a punch from MS.

And here is my inspiration for the colors on my card, lovely combination.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day.

Vintage Friday!

Good morning and happy Friday everyone, I have been super busy working on the yearbook for my daughter's school so when I get a few minutes I use them to get my DT projects done.  Today I have a card with a couple of vintage inspired images from Stampin' D'Amour, the dancing couple is from the "French Vintage" set and the sentiment is from the "Fabulous Birthday" set.  My color combination is color challenge #23 from CR84FN and my layout is based one sketch #186 from Mojo Monday. 

All the black lacy borders were cut with the border die from the Spellbinders' set "Parisian Accents".  I used a Sizzix embossing folder to emboss the upper cream colored patterned paper.

The sentiment was stamped on glitter cardstock with black StazOn ink and cut with a circle die from Spellbinders.  Also added some tiny adhesive pearls.

I stamped the image on Canson paper with Versafine black ink, inked the edges with tattered rose distress ink and applied some Stickles to the dress.  Double matted with black cardstock and cream patterned paper and then added the border.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by and hope you have a great weekend.

Getting some challenges done

It's Friday morning, isn't it a great morning!!!  Today I want to share a card I made using a couple of challenges, the color challenge from CR84FN, and the sketch challenge from CPS.  I love cutting so I pulled out my 3D decoupage sheets and found this gorgeous image, it has 4 layers, the gold border on the yellow paper I made using a couple of different outline stickers.  I embossed the kraft cardstock with a Cuttlebug embossing folder called textile and lightly inked the edges with distress ink.  For the pin, since I didn't have an orange pin, I took a white pin and painted it with Ranger Alcohol Inks and added some beads to it.  Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

Paper: Basic Grey, MME, Kraft Cardstock
