Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC126)!


Happy Tuesday! It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC126)!   Cindy Haffner is the challenge host this week.  She is challenging us to wet or dry embossing!  Easy and fun!  Looking forward to seeing what you create!

 


For my card I chose to go somewhat clean and simple today. I am using the Thinking of You and Vintage Wallpaper background stamp sets.  I stamped the Vintage Wallpaper onto Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock with versamark and heat embossed with black embossing powder.  I added a border punch, some houndstooth ribbon, and topped with a wrinkled ribbon bow.  Wrinkle ribbon to me is a fancy name for seam binding.  It does have a slightly more silky feel and  seems thicker.  It is wonderful and fabulous!  I am using the rich burgandy color on my card.  It is a must have and needed in all colors. Try wetting it for a more shabby chic look.

Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge (SNTODBD20), MOJO, ACT51, and MORE!



Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge (SNTODBD20)! ODBD would like to thank Chris Dickinson for hosting the last rotations ODBD challenge.    The assignment is Our Daily Bread Design stamps. The challenge is to use embossing powders.  Embossing powders have become more sophisticated over the years. We have regular embossing powders, super fine powders, and tinsels powders to name a few styles not to mention all the fabulous color choices. Pick your color and your style. Be sure to tell us which embossing powder style you chose!  We would love to see what you create using Our Daily Bread Design stamps!


I am using the sketch from Monday's MOJO160!  Great sketch as always, Julee!  I did make mine a 5.5 square design.  I am also using the colors from Stacey's Curtain Call Challenge Act 51.   Beautiful colors, Stacey!  One can never go wrong with Marine Mist!

I am using ODBD Scripture Collection 1!  I embossed the scripture from Ecclesiates in black regular embossing powder.  I added some sewing stitches, embossing folders, sponging, and various embellies to complete my card and colors choices.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC71) and SCS (CC275)!



It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC71)! This week Cindy Haffner is our challenge host. Cindy is challenging us to embossing. There are a lot of different types of embossing options to choose from, such as heat, stencil, plates, folders, scoring, textured die cuts, and more. In addition, there are many different techniques to combined with embossing. You can also use anything from vellum, clear cardstock, or other textures for your embossed projects. We would love to see what you all create. 

This card is also for SCS Color Combo Challenge(CC275)!  This week is all about Barely Mellow Reds!  Love these colors together!  I am using Flourishes Spring Ephemerals.  I rocked and roll the bleeding heart image using pure poppy and mellow moss. I sponged the edge with some ranger straw distressing ink.  I layered assorted patterns of Webster's Pages dp for the background.  After I adhered all the layers to the barely banana cardstock and sponged the edges, I then ran it through the bigshot using a SU texturz plate.  I love the combination of the varying patterns with the same texture.  For the dessert option with the CC275 challenge I added small gold pearls to the scalloped rectangle frame.  I finished with some champagne net wire ribbon!  LOVE this stuff!  I top the center of my bow with a gold button.  I did add a couple of tiny butterflies.  I could not decide on a sentiment.  I left the card as is for now1
