There's a large
Virtual Card Making Party going on this weekend over at the
Stars and Stamps blog. Challenges will be posted every few hours throughout Saturday & Sunday.
Challenge #1 is a sketch that
Nancy is hosting on her blog. I dug into an old SU! paper pad for these Sahara Sand squares of dsp. I added a Hero Arts sentiment and some negative punch-outs from border dies just to compliment the black color with a few tiny accents. I added a little faux stitching for the final touch, and then moved onto
challenge #2.
Diane is hosting a
fun challenge for #2, and that challenge is to use 3 things on our cards that represent the letters for O.W.H. Orange, Web (spider) and/or the color White, and Halloween is what I chose. The image is by House Mouse, and the pumpkin border was done with an EK punch. The spider web embossing was done with a SU! ef and sanded. The sentiment panel was done with a word window punch, and the ends of the black panel were done with the SU! Mosaic punch. I added some piercing and faux stitching just for fun, and finally added some orange bling from Pizzazz Aplenty.
That's going to do it for me for this day, but hopefully I'll be able to finish a few more challenges tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by!

I love both of these! Your faux stitching is fabulous! Thanks so much for playing along!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I love the way your dashed around your squares. It really makes your squares stand out beautifully. I love your little punch outs and the dots with your sentiment. The second card is just darling, of course, if it is a HM image it's adorable, but you really took it to a new level with your sanded web and your darling sentiment piece. I'm working on a card today but who knows if I'll finish it. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful choice of pattern papers and accents.
