It's A Winner!!

I'M SOOOOOO EXITED!!!  I have won my first challenge ever!  I love Stampendous' stamps and products and I'm so in love with their "Fran-tage" line.  I love this color combination and how the card turned out. I'm looking forward to entering more challenges with this company, and looking for others to enter also!  Here I go!

Stampedous Saturday Color Challenge; Pink, Creme, Brown and/or Gold

Card Ingredient List:
Brown, Pink, Cream Card Stock
White Embossing Enamel by Stampendous
Shaved Ice by Stampendous
Pink Glitter
Aged Gold Embossing Powder by Stampendous
Creme color ribbon
Dragonfly Stamp by Stampendous
Die cut shapes from Spellbinder
1 vintage button
embroidery floss
Sentiment from Starform stickers

I cut the base card from the brown card stock in A2 size.  Then cut 2 size shapes with Spellbinder Dies from the Creme and Pink cardstock and adhered together. Tie ribbon around this piece, tying a bow, then Fran-tage with Embossing Enamel, Shaved Ice and glitter.  On another piece of creme card stock, stamp the dragonfly with versa-mark and emboss with Aged Gold embossing powder.  Cut this out and pop it up with foam squares onto the pink and creme shape. Adhere this to the base card.  Punch or cut out a 2" tag and tie it onto the bow with creme colored embroidery floss and a vintage button. Adhere your sentiment on the tag.

CHRISTMAS CHURCH

These Tea Bag Folded Trees came out so, so, so, pretty! They are fun and easy to do! The church is embossed, lightly smudged with Ranger inks, and glittered only where the snow would rest on the church, trees, and ground.

CHRISTMAS CARDINAL

I love it when I use a newly learned technique and it turns out! Take a look at this set done in the Mosaic Tile Stamp Technique. A new addition to my Christmas collection, I just love the red cardinal! Let me know what you think!

MOSAIC TILE STAMPING TECHNIQUE

I found a video tutorial on You Tube on a mosaic tile stamping technique by Dawn Otchefske, with Stamping Up. What a clever way to recycle! Use the left over red rubber stamp frames from stamp sets, (you know, the left over rubber after you pushed out the stamps), cutting them up into odd shapes, small and large.  Peel off the paper from the sticky side and place them together on a piece of acetate. It's like putting a puzzle together!  Using VersaMark or any Embossing pad, pat the rubber stamp and stamp over your picture you want to mosaic.  Cover with clear embossing powder or clear Utee, and heat with your heat gun.  After it has cooled and hardened, use a dark ink and rub it over and into the crevasses.  Use a damp cloth and wipe over the mosaic. See my "Christmas Cardinal" Gift Bag Set (GBS), for an example of the finished project.

I've finally finished the set with the card and tag! I haven't heard anything on the challenge yet so wish me luck!
