World Cardmaking Day Challenge #3

 

The third World Cardmaking Day Challenge from Scrapbook & Cards Today was to use one stamp for the background and the focal image of a card. I chose this coffee pot from Waltzingmouse Stamps as I needed a masculine birthday card for a coffee lover. 

World Cardmaking Day Challenge #5

 

This was one of five challenges issued by Scrapbook & Cards Today. The challange was to weave something with paper strips to create a card.

I used offcuts of special alcohol ink backgrounds and metallic cardstock that I had saved from other projects.

I added some diecut butterflies and a few sequins.

World Cardmaking Day Challenge #1

 

So this card is doing duble duty as I made it with Pinkfresh Studio products and used their Geo Block stencil with various Distress Oxide inks.

I gold heat embossed the main floral image and used the matching stencil to colour.

The sentiment is hot foiled using the reverse or waste part. I love getting two sentiments from one piece of foil! I mounted it on a piece of vellum and added a few pearls.

World Card Making Day Challenge #2

 

Mindy challenged Scrapbook & Cards Today fans with a colour challenge for World Cardmaking Day.

I relied on my coloured pencils to help me make a card in this scheme.

The hydrangea is a Colorado Stamp Company image that I stamped in brown on a pretty mottled yellow background. After colouring with the pencils and blending with Gamsol, I stamped again and heat embossed with a metallic brown embossing powder.

World Card Making Day Challenge #4

Hello , Blogland, long time, no see. Here is a card I made for World Card Making Day, courtesy of inspiration from Victoria Calvin, who challenged Scrapbook & Cards Today fans to make a layered card. This was Challenge #2 of five issued last Saturday. I am working my way through the challenges in an out-of-order fashion.

The dies I used are Spellbinders borders and motif and a Spellbinders Glimmer Foil Plate for the sentiment. The background is a piece of Tim Holtz paper.

Hope you can see the reflecting of the foil above. It's quite pretty in real life.
