Happy Sunday. I thought I'd try to do a quick post before lunch to share a couple of the cards I made for the Dare to Get Dirty challenges yesterday. This one was a fun one. I stamped and heat embossed the Hardwood background and then painted over it with some white paint. The flower is using the Flower Frenzy die which I just used for the first time! I put it on my first order from the new catalog and somehow forgot about it. (Or I was still protesting the retirement of Fun Flowers) I used white tissue paper to cut two different sizes and then spritzed them with a mixture of alcohol and reinkers. The sentiment is heat embossed on vellum and is from the And Many More set.
Now the masculine card. It features a bit of watercoloring of The Open Sea set. I pulled out some retired designer paper because I have got to use up some of that stuff. It's out of control! lol I can't really share the details of the challenges, but if you are a Fan Club member over on Splitcoast, be sure to check them out. If you aren't, go join! :)
Both your cards are great! Thanks for showing them.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing Laila in her dress for her picture. I remember how adorable she looked last year.
I had planned on ordering a calendar, but somehow forgot. I won't forget this year.
I love your cards! What card stock did you stamp the Hardwood on? Painting over the embossed image gives a nice effect! TFS
