Queen Ann's Lace

Good Morning!

Today Great Impressions is sponsoring the Challenge at C.R.A.F.T., this month they have a fabulous Sketch to play along with.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

I used the fantastic Great Impressions stamps E807 Queen Ann Lace and E791 Sweet Sentiments.  I love the 'movement' I achieved by stamping the images in this manner and in the 2 different colored inks; Antique Linen and Always Artichoke.  Sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Black.  I wanted to keep the card simple and not use Designer Paper, I love the rustic flavor that shines through.

 

Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for a bit of texture as well as a splattering of White Craft Paint, you know how I love using an old toothbrush for this technique.  Dotted Scallop Border Die used on front and inside.  Large Enamel Dots and Ribbon for accents.  I also hi-lighted the images using a Sakura White Glaze Pen.

 

A new Great Impressions Challenge begins on Sunday, but in the meantime head on over to the        C.R.A.F.T. Sketch Challenge.

 

Thanks so much for popping in.

THANKS

Good Morning! 

Today Great Impressions is sponsoring the Challenge at  C.R.A.F.T. To Make A Thank You Card.

Here is my card:

 

I was in a gardening kind of mood and decided to use the Great Impressions BIG, bold, beautiful blossom, F553 Large Stitched Flower.  I colored the flowers in bright colors using Copic Markers.  Taking a Sakura Black Glaze pen I hi-lighted the centers and topped them off with a black Adhesive pearl.  The 'thanks' is a die cut and I layered 3 of them together to give it a bit of oomph!  I also backed it with a piece of white card stock so it would POP.  A little bit of black and white gingham ribbon to tie it all together and 2 more gold Adhesive Pearls for accents finish off the design.

 

Don't forget to enter into the Great Impressions July Challenge, To Use Your Favorite Stamp (c'mon, how EASY is that???)  You don't have to use a Great Impressions stamp.....BUT if you do please link it up to our Customer Gallery for a chance to win some fabulous year end prizes.....just for being a loyal customer!!!

 

THANKS (truly) for coming by!

 

Enjoy~~
