SC604 A True Friend Loves At All Times

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you are having a fabulous week so far!  Woohoo!  I am excited to announce that I will be on the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge Design Team for the next few months!  

I truly love participating in sketch challenges and am always amazed at how many interpretations can be designed using one sketch.

For this Mixed Media card, I used the Splitcoaststampers' SC604 Sketch (see the rest of the SC604 Sketch Gallery here),   the SCS CC592 Color  Challenge and the SCS Dare To Get Dirty “DTGD16basementstamper” Challenge (sorry, I cannot share the details but if you are a Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Member, you can see the details here and if not, you can check out how to join here) as well as the JustUs Girls #354 Wild Card “Let’s Hear It for the Girls” Challenge.

If you have not already visited the above challenge sites, I hope you will have a chance to do so- fabulous inspiration from my Sketch Design Team "Sisters" as well as the rest of the challenge sites!

To create this card:

Die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Flourished Star Patterns Dies and mount onto a piece of black cardstock.

Die cut the piece of So Saffron cardstock with the largest ODBD Double Stitched Rectangle Dies, mount onto a piece of black cardstock, trim and mount onto the card front.

Add the strip of 1” Black Satin Ribbon and mount the entire card front onto the white card base.

Die cut a piece of the ODBD Christmas Collection 2015 6x6 Paper with the next to the largest  ODBD Double Stitched Rectangles  Dies, mount onto black cardstock, trim and mount onto the card front.

Die cut and emboss the ODBD Doily Dies from white cardstock and layer onto the front of the card.

Ink the ODBD Star Quilt image using black archival ink, stamp onto white cardstock, color the image with water-based markers and die cut with the ODBD Double Stitched Rectangle Dies.

Layer the quilt image onto black cardstock, trim and apply ModPodge to the entire surface.

Stamp the sentiment from ODBD A True Friend with archival black ink onto white cardstock, die cut with the ODBD Double Stitched Circle Dies and mount onto a die cut from black cardstock using the ODBD Flourish Pattern Dies.

Add the sentiment to the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

I hope this card inspires you to create a project this week and if so, come play along with us at Splitcoaststampers!

Thanks again for visiting- hugs and have a blessed week, my friends!

Hello Friends!

The new Our Daily Bread Designs "Shining the Light" ODBDSLC254 Sketch Challenge starts today and I incorporated the sketch with the Splitcoaststampers' WT 533 “Favorite Tools” Challenge.

Since I love using die cuts and embossing folders on my cards, my favorite tool is the Big Shot™ and I rarely make a card without it!

I love the verse from the Thank You stamp set along with the picnic basket image and thought that it is so appropriate for many occasions including Thanksgiving (I know, I am a bit early but am trying not to procrastinate as much this year :-)).  I paired it with the beautiful flowers from the Fragrance set (love those roses) along with some distressing.

To create this card:

Stamp the rose image from the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Fragrance along with the verse from ODBD Thank You using Stāz-On® ink onto white cardstock.  The rose was colored with a water brush pen using ink from the ink pads and fussy-cut.   

ODBD Stamps- Fragrance, Thank You; Dies- Ovals, Stitched Ovals, Beautiful Borders, Doily, Paper- Christmas Collection

The verse was cut with the Stitched Ovals Dies and layered onto cardstock cut with the Ovals Dies.

Add a distressed, embossed background panel along with a white doily cut from the Doily Dies (split in two) along with a strip  of gingham paper from the Christmas Paper Collection with the Beautiful Borders Dies and ribbon from my stash.

Add the gold twine and mount the layered verse panel with the fussy cut flower using dimensional foam.  Add a few pearls to finish off the card :-)

I hope you will check out my DT sisters:

 Chris, Diana,  Paula, and Robin
