Happy Monday Everyone!  Welcome to PIP Challenge 1827, an Anything Goes challenge, sponsored this week by Di's Digis.  Please be sure to visit their website to see what cute and adorable images they have to offer.  Thanks for being such a great sponsor!!

My card this week uses images and an embossing folder from Stampin' Up.  I colored the stamp itself with markers and stamped the image on white paper. The sentiment was cut out using an oval die cut (sorry, can't remember who it is from) and then popped up with pop dots.  I added a black layer of paper to offset the image panel and then the whole thing is spritzed with shimmer spray.

Hello, and welcome to Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 398, where our theme is "Interactive Card" and our sponsor is the lovely Kim Sherrod at LilyPatch Boutique. Please be sure to check out her website to see the wonderful items she has!

I had so many ideas for my interactive card.....first it was a waterfall card, then a magic card where you pull up a panel with a black and white image and the same image is colored underneath, then a pinwheel card, and I finally settled on a spinner card.  These are so much fun, and perfect for kids of all ages! You'd be surprised how many spins it takes to make the arrow land on the sentiment!  My supplies and stamps are all from Fun Stampers Journey this week.

PIP Challenge 1820

Welcome to PIP Challenge 1820, an Anything Goes challenge sponsored this week by Sparkle N Sprinkle.  Thank you so much to Sparkle N Sprinkle for providing an image for us to use. I chose this beautiful Happy Birthday sentiment called "Love and Laughter".  Please visit their website to see all the great products they have to offer.

I printed the sentiment on white card stock and "daubered" the background with distress inks (Broken China and Peacock Feather).  One of my daubers was pretty worn and it made a feathery  design, which I really liked. Then I used black ink and a  Tim Holtz stencil (Wildflowers) to make the flowers on the bottom of the card. I added some black twine and a black gem for dimension and spritzed the whole thing with shimmer mist. I layered this on black cardstock and then again on a white card base.

I used an embossing resist technique this week, stamping my background images with VersaMark on white paper and using white embossing powder.  Then I heat embossed the piece and applied ink in 3 different colors.  The embossed images resist the colored ink and show up white in the background. I colored Newton and his presents with Copic markers and used a couple of dies to make a decorative circle piece.  I added some ribbon from my stash and just a touch of Spectrum Noir sparkle pen on the ribbons of the presents.  A quick "Happy Birthday" sentiment and I was finished!

Thank you so much for stopping by - love seeing you and hope you will check out the other design team members inspiration at our challenge.  I can't wait to see your entry into our drawing for some Newton's Nook product!!  Have a wonderful day!

Welcome to Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 388, where our theme is "Glimmer and Shine" and our sponsor is Studio Katia.  Please check out the wonderful products at Studio Katia.....there are so many awesome things!!  Thank you for being our sponsor this week!   I used the stamp set "Together We Bloom" and stamped 3 flower images in VersaMark on watercolor paper and then heat embossed them with black embossing powder.  I used Tombow markers and an aqua pen to color them.  I had planned to use the sentiment from the set also, but it was too large for my circles, so I opted for a Best Wishes stamp from my stash.  After adding some sequins, I sprayed the entire card with a glimmer spray and then used my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens to add more glimmer to the flowers.  If you zoom in, you can see all this glimmer.
