Papertrey Make It Monday #231 - Motif Building

Here is my card

It's for the current challenge at Papertrey Ink - Blog 

 Motif Building

check out the link where there is a video describing the process

Unfortunately,  I didn't have any "small" element Papertrey Ink stamp sets. So I had to improvise.

I started with this Spruce & Sprigs set which seems to be set up to build up "scenes".

The sentiment is from this stamp set

Muse Challenge #142

Here's my card

It's for the current challenge at Muse Card Challenge

Here is Anita Bowden's Muse Card

 

I focused on:

- the outline leaves

- the teal/aqua colour

- the double score lines

- the small sentiment tag

- the two small hearts

I masked of the area using 3M Post it tape and I used the open leaves from this Paper Smooches stamp set

I removed the post-it tape and using my scor-pal, I added the score lines.

I used this Impression Obsession die set to cut out the tag. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted. I didn't have a tag die with stitches so I added small dots with a black pen.

I also added two small hearts cut from teal cardstock.

To add dimension, I cut a fun foam panel, just a bit smaller than my cardfront.

Here's a close-up

CAS on Sunday Challenge #71 - Tag It

Here's my card

It's for the current challenge at CAS on Sunday

 Tag it! use a tag on your card

I used this embossing folder to create some texture.

I inked up a piece of white cardstock using ink blending tools and distress inks (tumbled glass, broken china and salty ocean). I made a tag using Stampin Up Ornate Tag Topper punch. I made a second tag using a piece of cardstock in a matching colour.

The sentiment is from Catherine Pooler's Stamp of Approval 

I die cut the snowflake using this Simon Says STAMP die

THINKING OF YOU

I used 3M post-it tape to mask off the center area.  I added distress inks with ink blending tools to mimic a sunset - squeezed lemonade, ripe persimmon, picked raspberry and chipped sapphire.

I used one of my favourite stamp sets from Technique Tuesday for both the grass and dragonfly silhouettes and the sentiment.

MFT Card Challenges: Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 253

Here's my card

It's for the current challenge at My Favorite Things Blog 
 

I checked my MFT stamps and dies and found that I didn't have any stars.I found this die set and decided to use it. I had inked up a card panel with distress inks (ripe persimmon, abandoned coral and picked raspberry). I used it to cut out the flowers.

I cut a banner and used a sentiment from this MFT stamp set.

I felt that the card needed a bit more so I used an embossing folder to add "stripes" to the background.
