I was not able to finish my Jbelle card yesterday but was able to today!! My kids go back to school next Tuesday and we still have so much to do to get ready!!! Anyway, here is my card based on yesterday's Jbelle sketch challenge ~
The base of my card is Chocolate Chip with a mat of Whisper White, which I sponged using Ranger Antique Linen ink and Pale Plum ink. The 3 decorative mats are from a decorative paper pack I got from Lindsey last Fall called Twiggy and is by Memory Box. I matted the strips using Perfect Plum ink. I cut the bottom border using THIS Spellbinders Pierceabilities die. I then added some lavender Kaiser rhinestones. The ribbon is from May Arts and the image is from Inkadinkado. I stamped the image on Whisper White using Chocolate Chip ink, cut it out using my oval Nesties and then I left the oval die on and sponged Old Olive on top, then Perfect Plum in the center and So Saffron on the bottom. I then added 3 layers of Ultra Thick Embossing Powder, let it cool and then cracked it. I matted it on another decorative piece included in the same Memory Box paper which I cut using my Labels Four Nesties.
Here is a closer look at the image ~
Be sure to check out what the girls made using this sketch!
I already had the image colored for the next card so when I saw today's sketch challenge at SCS, I thought it would work perfectly!
The base of this card is Whisper White with a mat of Pumpkin Pie and then a decorative piece of paper from an SU! collection from last year. The strip down the side is Pink Pirouette which was punched using one of Martha Stewart punches. I then added some Martha Stewart rhinestones to the centers of each flower. I then added a strip of Whisper White and then Pumpkin Pie that I ran through my Cuttlebug using my Swiss Dots embossing folder. The beautiful silk ribbon is from May Arts.
The next mat is Pink Pirouette CS with a decorative piece of Pink Bella Birds DP. I then stamped the darling Stampavie image using Black Memento ink on Whisper White CS and colored using my Copics.
Lindsey has lots of new products in her store!!! She will have new Cosmo in stock any day now but does have DARLING Christmas Stampavie stamps for pre-order and has new ProvoCraft embossing folders!!!
Have a great day!!!!
