NBUS Challenge #12

Well those 10 11 days went fast.  The 11 days that Darnell had open for her NBUS challenge.  I was waiting for a new order but it's not going to be here in time so I'm using my backup card - one I made the first day of the challenge but didn't post just in case.  Well, just in case time is here.  The challenge ends tomorrow and I'll be gone most of the day so I'm posting now.

I taped off a border on Fog cardstock, then stamped and heat embossed the flowers from CP/SOA in white.  Once they were cool, I inked the background with Fog, removed the mask and stamped the HA sentiment in the same ink.  I can see doing this in other colors and for other occasions.

Glad you dropped by again.

Addicted to Stamps and More #171

The challenge this week at Addicted to Stamps and More is "Anything Goes". That can be easy, or it can be difficult.  I usually like some sort of push to get me started and for this challenge the push was that I need more Thanksgiving cards for the homebound people from my church.

I played around with these pieces and a few more before I was satisfied with the final card.  The image is from PTI Fall Jar, colored with Zigs.  Then I layered Rustic White cs with a scrap of orange print and some kraft paper that I ran through my crimper.  The sentiment from Clearly Besotted was stamped in Rich Cocoa and everything was inked with PTI Classic Kraft.  This is taking me back to my roots as a cardmaker.

What will you make for the "Anything Goes" challenge?  Head on over to Addicted to Stamps and More to see what the Design Team has for inspiration. The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to Deedee's Digis and 5 digis from Rosey Hearts.
