Guest Star Stamper for Color Throwdown #493

Hey Guys!

I am super excited to be sharing the card I made for being the Guest Star Stamper after

 being chosen in the CTD#491 challenge!

I was so happy when I saw the colors for this week weeks challenge CTD#493. 

They are my fave color combos....Aqua, Lime and White

I white heat embossed the Simon Says Stamp Center Cut Flowers Stamp onto some watercolor paper. 

I used Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers 

to water color in the flower and leaves. 

I wanted to make the flowers pop so I added a bit of Hickory Smoke onto the background. 

I cut the piece out using the MFT Blueprints 13 Die-Namics. 

The Thanks sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Big Thanks Die. 

I cut the shadow from vellum and the word from Neenah Metallic card stock in white gold. 

I had to add some sparkle with the Studio Katia Sparkling Crystals. 

I used the center part of the stamp to ink the inside of the card using

 Simon Says Stamp Fog ink. 

Thank you so very much for visiting and I hope to see you next week for the next challenge!

MFT You Trio Die-namics and All About You Shaker card for the Color Throwdown #444 Using MFT

Happy Thursday!

I have another card for the Color Throwdown Challenge. 

This weeks colors are Green , Grey and White. 

I wanted to try my hand at what Jennifer McGuire showed 

with using strips of card stock to make your own pattern paper. 

I first used Distress inks in Pine Needles and Hickory Smoke to ink blended onto some Bristol Smooth paper and then spritzed some water to get the splotches.

I then cut it up in random sizes and attached to a card base with some tape adhesive. 

I then cut it out with the large rectangle stitched die from the MFT Blueprints 13 set. 

I cut out the YOU using the You Trio Die set from the MFT Sketchy Flowers Card Kit.

I also used the free with $60 banner dies to heat emboss the sentiment onto.

 I also used the All About You stamp set from the same card kit. 

I made the YOU be the shaker part and filled with some random white sequins, seed beads and silver chunky glitter. 

Thank you so much for visiting and I will see you next week for another challenge!!

Engagement card using Simon Says Stamp Cora Background Stamp

Happy Saturday!
Today I have a Engagement card I made for my sis in law and soon to be brother in law.
I thought the SSS Cora background would be great since all those hearts in the background

I heat embossed with Ranger Fine Detail Embossing Powder and then wanted to do some water coloring with Distress Inks. 

I was making the card for both of them so I did not want the colors to be overly girly.

The colors I used were:

Abandoned Coral

Hickory Smoke 

Mowed Lawn 

Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean  (mixed on craft mat)

I do not have any Engagement stamps so I spelled out the sentiment 

using the Concord and 9th Perfectly Penned Stamp Set. 

I popped it up on some foam tape and placed the whole piece onto a grey card base.

I wanted the envelope to look special too and used the SSS Sending Flowers Stamp Set . I made the envelope from the same Michaels Recollections card stock as I used in the card base.


I hope you have a great weekend and I will see you next time!
