8/31/19 Laurie's Fabulous Favorites: Vellum This week, Laurie challenges us to use our favorite way of adding vellum to a card. I must say that I have not colored on vellum as Laurie has. This creates a beautiful almost stained glass effect. I'll have to give this a "go" soon. I use vellum many times to add my sentiment, especially if my card is very busy or has a nice BG. The vellum sentiment also adds texture and a layer to the card as in the one I made for this challenge. I CAS'd a card created by Kelly Lunceford for the August release. Love her colors! I have created this card to give to our oldest daughter and her hubby who celebrated their 10th anniversary a couple of days ago. :)
Supplies: Ink To Paper Birdie/Sweet Tweets, Lawn Fawn oval die, PTI Dye Ink (Blueberry Sky, Pink Lady, Hibiscus Burst, Cocoa Bean), DOI (broken china), Stickles (magenta), Copic Sketch, VersaMark Ink, Stampendous EP (silver).
8/26/19 Laurie's Fabulous Favorites: CASE With the August 2019 release just last week, our challenge this week is to CASE one of the many wonderful creations by the talented Ink To Paper DT! I bought the ITP Monsters die set because of Kelly Lunceford's Monsters Inc fun tent-style packaging...just in time for Halloween. Thought this would be cute to give to our grandkids (5). I made the same 3 characters Kelly made tho' changed up my Boo by adding her little face in the purple monster's face. Just have to make a couple more...Mike is the easiest to whip up. ;) Supplies: ITP: Monsters/Ghosts & Ghoulies Sentiments, Reverse Confetti: Bag & Tag Creator, Nuvo Crystal Glaze.
8/10/19 Sparkle, Glitter & Shine = BLING in my books! And I'm with Laurie that there is usually something "bling-y" in almost all of my card creations. So to demo this challenge, I have created a shaker card with lots of "bling-y" shaker components not to mention the frame base created with "bling-y" Stampendous shabby pink embossing enamel. 💕 Supplies: Ink To Paper Dandelion Wishes/Dandelion Wishes Sentiments, PTI Pierced Feature Frame Dies, MFT Gingham Galore PP, Stampendous shabby pink embossing enamel, Zing EP (Blush), Ranger EP (Princess Gold), JudiKins white EP, misc sequins.
8/5/19 Laurie's Fabulous Favorites: Black & White I don't know why I don't do black and white more often. I love the graphic look. Creating the card is simple and yet eye-catching. I need to use this technique more often. ;)
