Double D, BLING It Up!

Good Morning!  

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Here is your Inspiration Tile for this Challenge:

Oooh sparkly!

Here's what I decided to create!

I have to say I never would have thought I would be buying such cutsie little stamp sets, but lately Mermaids and Unicorns have been hopping into my shopping cart lol  Ohhhh Penelope!  

This sweet little stamp set is by Your Next Stamp, Little Darling Mermaid.  CUTE!!!  Image stamped in Raven Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.  Sentiment stamped in Tempting Turquoise ink.  I then created a mask to cover the image and spritzed Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Teal all over it.  

My frame was created using the Simon Says Grid Frame, which I layered on to a pretty green card stock.  I stamped and fussy cut out 4 scallop shells and adhered to each corner, topping each with a small Adhesive Pearl.  

On my background splatters I added teeny tiny pieces of confetti like glitter in blues and greens.  I also added Iridescent Sequins to parts of my frame.  Lastly I created a pearl necklace for my sweet mermaid.  CUTE!

This card will also be entered into the Stamping Sensations Challenge, Close To Nature.

My frame has been backed by Fun Foam, adding dimension and makes for a nice sturdy piece.

Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!

You'll be glad you did as there is always a pretty prize up for grabs!

Elegant Berry Branch

Good Tuesday Morning!

On The Great Impressions Blog today!

Another delightful wintery card to share with you......sit back and grab a sweater.  lol

 

I have used the beautiful Great Impressions Stamp J120 Eelgant Berry Branch.  I stamped the branch on a Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangle die and layered that on some pretty red card stock.  Added a bright red and white gingham check ribbon and bow to the top of the branch.  Placed that all on a white piece of card stock embossed using a Snowflakes Swirl Folder.  I also added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter all over the embossed panel, it shimmers and shines so much, in real life.

 

After assembling my whole card I grabbed a bunch of Red Adhesive Rhinestones and decorated the larger berries I had colored with a Copic Marker.

 

This card really has an impact.  AND it is Clean And Simple which I really struggle with.  YAY!!!

 

Thanks so much for popping in.  Don't forget to check out our Monthly Challenge at Great Impressions and when you use some of our fabulous Great Impressions Stamps upload your creation to our Customer Gallery.  Who knows, maybe you'll be one of the lucky participants to win some FREE stamps at the year end drawing.  Good Luck!
