I made this card for the
Stars and Stamps sketch challenge #107. I was able to make a masculine birthday card by using up a couple scraps from my bin. The black panel was done with a Sizzix ef, and I used Copics in 3 shades to add some gradient color to the sentiment. The ribbon slide was cut with my Quickutz die and embossed with silver ep. I added some faux stitching and turquoise ribbon for the finishing touch.
This card uses the same sketch as the card above, but I flipped it and made a card for Mother. This is for the
Stars and Stamps ODBD challenge to use ribbon. I used a piece of polka dot dsp and embossed it with the petals a plenty ef from SU, dotting the flowers with a spica glitter pen. The image is sweet peas from Flourishes and I did a little paper piercing around the outside edges. The sentiment is by Verve stamps, and the ribbon is one of those little bobbin ribbons I picked up at JoAnne's. I tied a knot to the vertical ribbon first, and then added a separate bow done with the Bow Easy - fastened on top with strong tacky glue. The dsp and card stock is all from SU!
And here is one more card that meets 3 challenges. I used the Serafina Heart die by MB along with some Cherry Cobbler card stock for the main image, and made a border using diagonal strips of Cherry Cobbler & BoBunny Crush dsp. The tiny tag from SU was hand written and I used a tiny punch-out heart from the SNSS hearts and stars border dies. This card is for the
Stars and Stamps CAS skip challenge, as well as the
TLC363 to make your own stripes, and the
CAS156 to make a CAS card using hearts.
That's going to be it for me today! Thanks for stopping by and if you missed it, be sure and check out Heidi's February calendar page below this post! You'll be glad you did :)
