Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday Challenge

Hello, today I am featuring a card made for Simon Says Stamp 'Work It Wednesday' challenge using
'anything floral.'  For this card, I used the heat resist technique on the background, using 
SSS falling hearts background stamp and white heat embossing, then water coloring over.  I die cut the frame out of the water colored piece with a MFT die and attached it to card base with foam tape.  The sentiment is SSS, and I topped the card with a cute little bouquet from PTI, Bitty Blossom's stamp and die set.  I finished the card off with a few sequins sprinkled here and there.  Thanks for stopping by!

PAPERTREY INK 9TH ANNIVERSARY 9TH ANNOVERSARY

It's Papertrey Ink's 9th anniversary and they are hosting daily challenges to celebrate!  This challenge was to create a card using nine 1 1/2" squares and alter each one differently.  Boy, I have to agree with some of the other posters who thought this was harder than it sounded! It WAS hard to create a card that looked cohesive to me, so what I came up with is a kind of hot mess😉. I managed several different techniques, but not necessarily a different one on each square...,,,more like all over.  I did some
background ink sponging, ink smooshing, water coloring, stickles, heat embossing, pen lining, added a heart sticker, sequins and finished it off with some water spritzing.  I guess I can say it's 'artsy' right?😉
I used PTI's 'With All My Heart' stamp set.  Thanks for stopping by!

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday

Hello, today I have a card created for PTI's Make It Monday challenge, which was a Valentine Ombré Effect card.  for this cars I used several different stamp sets and different PTI card stock.  The scallop framed is from the shaker die set, the hearts, limitless layers;hearts, the little truck and sentiment are from Tremendous Treats, Valentine.  For the gradient of colors in the card stock, I used raspberry fizz, berry sorbet, lovely
Lady, sweet blush for the 'haphazardly' cut stripes, and pure poppy for the background.  I stacked up some tiny die cut hearts in the trunk of the truck (which I watercoloredbon some watercolor paper) and beside the sentiment.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

SIMON SAYS STAMP WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE

Time to try another card challenge.  This time it's the Simon Says Stamp Wednessay challenge.  I made a cute Valentine card using the Chrisrmas lambs from Lawn Fawn's 'Baa Humbug' stamp set, Little B heart dies, SSS 'Wishing' die and sentiment stamp (the banner stamp is by Mama Elephant).  I did a light water color wash in light pink and scattered some die cut hearts from PTI Notched Heart Banner die.  Love repurposing my stamp sets!
