Be Inspired Challenge #59

Hi!!

I'm popping in real quick to share a card for The Alley Way Stamps Be Inspired Challenge #59. Its a new challenge with a nice fall theme. For my card i went with the fall colors and used a TAWS set that was on the top of my stamp pile!

I am entering this into Inkspirational Shine Challenge, and yes their is shine on my card (i used perfect pearls). I thought i had taken pictures that would show the shine, but apparently i only thought i did, so later today i'm going to take a picture of the shine and update this post, so check back for my shine proof!!! hehehe!!!

It started with the Tri- Me stamp set and i stamped the triangles all over a white card base with orange, yellow and brown inks. Next i used two different color perfect pearls powders to color the triangles (i used pigment ink so the powders sticks to the ink nicely).

Next i die cut a triangle and used yellow pigment ink to color it. Then i stamped the Just For You in brown ink. With all the triangles shiny i wanted to tone it down a little so i wrapped the card with twine. I also found some wood veneer triangle and added them to the card base. I added the die cut triangle with foam dots and wa-la!

Edited to add this photo! It was hard to get the shine, you can see the copper like shine to the triangles, tilt the card another way and other triangles would shine.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi!!

Hello!!

Winter and Christmas cards are on my mind!!! Yes, its a sad truth, but i have to start building up my stash and their are lots of goodies to play with!! Today i'm sharing a The Alley Way Stamps card that features one of this months new sets Snow Daze! I am linking this card up to Inkspirational Challenge - Purple with Grey/Silver (which is very hard to photograph!!! hehe!!!

I started with dark purple card stock (i swear its purple!!!) and stamped a few snowflakes from the Snow Daze stamp set in versamark ink. I then embossed the snowflakes with silver embossing powder. Then i cut some white cardstock with a PTI die to create my snow drifts. I added one layer directly to the purple card base and the other shorter one with foam tape.

Next i stamped two snowmen from the TAWS Chill Out set on white card stock, then again on the purple and some dark grey. I paper pieced the scarfs, ear muffs and hat with the purple and grey, then colored the had black.

I added the snowman to my card with foam dots and then found the grey Hi bubble in my 'extra' stash. I love it when stuff you have already matches!! I also added the bubble with foam tape!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I'll be back tomorrow with my Waffle Flower Challenge card!!

Be Inspired Challenge #55 Take 2

Hi there!!

Its week 4 over at The Alley Way Stamps Be Inspired Challenge!! The photo inspiration is cool, sweet and yummy!! Here's the photo:

Edited to add: I'm entering this card into two challenges that the fabulous Carol recommended! The first Addicted to Stamps Challenge (addicted to stamps, yeah that about sums me up!!!) The challenge is Make Your Mark (use markers). The other is the Inkspirational Challenge the challenge is to use pencils or markers, i used distress makers to color the strawberries! That's it! Thanks Carol!

I think you can see where i drew my inspiration from!!! hehehe!! I started with a white card base and flicked some pink and gold ink spray over it then set it aside to dry.

Next i die cut the Scallop Surface Tag Die from Waffle Flower Crafts from white card stock. I colored the scallop edge with a green Distress Marker. Then i stamped 3 strawberries from Tooty Fruity, colored them with Distress Markers, then cut them out.

I adhered the frame and strawberries to my card base with foam dots and last stamped the sentiment Hi from the Spotted stamp set.

You still have about a week to play along for your chance at a stamp set and a Guest Design Team spot!

Have a great day!!
