Stamptacular Sunday, SFYTT, Throwdown, and MORE!

Happy Sunday, everyone! It is time for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge! The challenge this wee is "S.O.S." We are making cards for "someone special." Check out the link and play along with us!

For my card I am using ODBD The Lord Has Risen and Cross of Christ stamp sets. I decided to play again with ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge. The challenge is "Distress Call." I stamped the flower image and colored with copics. I colored and cut out and adhered with some foam dimensionals. I added some clear, blue, and green glitter for a wee bit of sparke accenting. I finished the flowers with some gold pearls. I layered SU vintage springtime paper collection and chose to color my flowers to coordinate with the paper. I added some lace, ribbon, two different stitches with sewing machine, decorative pin accents, and a sentiment tag tied with twine. I love how the card turned out. I distressed all the edges with some distressing ink in camomile.

I am using the colors from the Color Throwdown and the sketch from SFYTT(February2011)! I am also playing in a few other blog challenges! Charisma Cardz: Spring, Dutch Dare: glitter, ABC Challenge: "O" is for ocean blue, Creative Cottage: fabulous florals, The Pixie Cottage: Embossing (folder), AllSorts: Inspired by Nature, Crazy4Challenges(C4C75): diecuts
