TioT - Sparkle All The Way

Over at Try it on Tuesday our new challenge theme is "Sparkle all the way". 

I love glitter of any color and form- glitter paper and loose glitter or embossing powder - and I've used both on my card. It may be hard to judge from the photo but Santa's belt, the snowflake swirl and the inner edges of the frame are glittered up.

INK #301 Cold

At Inkspirational we have a new challenge and the theme is COLD. For me the choice was to go with snow and the color blue. 
I used a DP with snow and a door from a Mintay Christmas paper pad. The door was cut out with an oval die and I used a larger die for the mirri card used as a panel. The snowflake swirl was covered with glitter and glitter drops from Pinkfresh. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz sticker. A quick and easy card to make.

TioT - Halloween

Over at Try it on Tuesday our new challenge theme is "Halloween". I don't celebrate Halloween and I don't uasually send out any cards. However, I have started enjoying making cards for Halloween, because I love the colors and there are so many fun papers, stamps and dies for this occasion. For this card I used a purple gingham paper and a cobweb die cut. The skull is from Tom Holtz, the sunglasses as well, I put glossy accent on them and popped them up on foam, The necklace is colored in purple, green and orange and I added glitter glue on as well - it makes the pearls look like candy, yum. I used sentiments from three different stamp sets.

INK #300 - Card with Matching Envelope

At INKspirational our challenge for the next two weeks is to make a card with a matching envelope.
I used several stamps from the Tim Holtz Tiny toadstools set and colored with my Posca pensils. I placed die cut circles onto a textured paper background and added Pinkfresh bling and a sticker sentiment.

TioT - Autumn

 

Over at Try it on Tuesday our new challenge theme is "Autumn". 

This is one of those cards where I did not have a plan before I got started and I started kind of in the opposite order of what I usually do.
I had cut out a wreath of flowers from a Scrapboys paper and I had made a leaf with a stencil from Sweet Poppy and fussy cut it, and I decided to use both. I had some die cut leaves laying on my desk and decided to use them too. I chose a piece of DP I have had for a long time, with leaf pattern on it. Frpm there I had to decide how to decorate the stenciled leaf, and I do love my mushroom stamps from Tim Holtz. But as they were to small to fill up enough of the spaee I masked them off and stamped a tree from Lavinia behind them, along with some falling leaves. I added some bling some Pinkfresh on the leaves, not very visible in the photo, but thry look nice IRL I also used other stamps from the Tim Holtz stamp set, the splatter and scipt, inked in kraft colored ink.
