[Layered Up] The Crafter's Cafe Challenge #270

Exciting news....I've joined another Design Team as part of The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog! I'm so excited for this opportunity! It's been so fun seeing the previous work of the other team members and getting to know the team.  There are challenges twice a month (on the 1st and 15th) with sponsors and prizes! Check it out and be sure to submit your creations- I can't wait to see them.

Now on to the challenge....

The theme was "Layered Up" and the digital image I chose, Fred's Dahlia's, was sponsored by Fred She Said. There's about a billion different ways you can use these floral and leaves images! Endless possibilities. 



I printed these images on White cardstock (I printed the images in multiple sizes to get more variety) and colored them in using colored pencils. I embossed the flower and leave centers with gold embossing powder. I love adding little details in my cards!

The hardest part was arranging the florals..I just couldn't decide! I glued some elements down using Tomboy adhesive and then chose a few to prop to with foam squares to give that added layered interest.


 I embossed the sentiment with a dark green embossing powder and then attached the panel to pink patterned cardstock. I glued it at an angle just to add some extra fun! Then, I mounted the card panel with some foam tape and embellished the with some gold liquid pearls. 

I love how it turned out! And, also realized that I'm obsessed with using foam tape on my cards LOL. Anyone else have this obsession? 

I've entered this card in these challenges:

[Oceans of Joy] Multi-Occasion Card

I am still building my cardmaking collection, and it is SO easy to get into the blackhole of buying endless craft supplies. I really need to stop myself. I came across this adorable ocean themed stamp set,  Oceans of Joy , from Sunny Studio Stamps! Head on over to my Instagram to see a reel on how I made this card!     I wanted to create a fun wavey background so I took some scrap cardstock and cut a "wave" pattern and used it as my stencil with a blending sponge and my Stampin' Up spot inks. I LOVE how it turned out. I wanted to add more texture so I purposefully blended with differing pressures to get some texture in the background. I can't wait to make and use more stencils in my cardmaking. I stamped the sentiment, whale, crab, and water images using my misty on some textured white cardstock and colored in using my Prismacolor colored pencils. In hindsight, I wish I had used a smooth white cardstock instead, as it makes the coloring look a little messier than I...

[Hello Beautiful] Patterned Paper Series #1

 Okay, I will admit I am a girly girl. and this card made me all kinds of happy. I came across this freebie from  All Dressed Up Stamps  and immediately had so many ideas. I first gravitated towards a solid cardstock as my mounting base but then decided to have some fun with patterned cardstock. I have lots of patterns but find myself being too afraid to mix and match patterns. Hence, explaining the origin of  my "Patterned Paper Series." I colored in the digital image using alcohol markers on white cardstock. I had a patterned paperpad from Recollections called "Get Glam" and used one of the "hello beautiful" sentiments that was already printed on the paper. I attached it with some foam squares to give a little added dimension. Easy right?! I mounted it on a hot pink cardstock and then mounted the whole set on a white and black polka dot cardstock from the same paperpad. Not only do I love using patterned paper as a background, but I also like using it fo...

[Sending Thanks] SSS September Card Kit #3

 Here is card #3 with the SSS September Card Kit. I stamped the sunflower stamp multiple times on white cardstock and colored in using alcohol markers. I used the included washi tape to create a border on the top and bottom of the green cardstock and used a very thin gold washi tape to decorate the side of the card panel. I used Diamond Sparkles from Stampin' Up to embellish the sunflower centers! I used the included Tim Holtz sentiment stickers and mounted it on some foam tape for some added dimension. I love how fun and quick this card was to make!  I entered this card in the following challenges: Inspiration Station Challenge #15 - An Autumn Countryside LAWN FAWNATICS CHALLENGE 110 – SPECTACULAR SKIES Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #167 Dare2Bartzy October Challenge Angie's Digital Stamp Challenge #57 Thanks for stopping by!
