New entries

Every couple of months, as a demonstrator, I can enter creative challenges within my group. I thought I would share with you what I have entered so far.

This first card was entered for the christmas card challenge. The challenge was to use new stamp sets from our current catalogue or Holiday Mini catalogue. This tree stamp is from the Fun and Fast Notes set. By using the masking technique I was able to get a set of 3 trees for this card. The background holly is from the Background Basics set. Colours used: Glorious Green, Gold, Real Red and Whisper White cardstock. I 'glitzed' up the trees with Gold and Siler ink using an old Blender Pen. 'Merry Christmas' is stamped in Gold ink and is from the All Holidays stamp set.

This card falls into the 'use 2 or more In Colours' catagory. I really like this card, its fun! (and fast)...stamp set from the Fun and Fast Notes set. The background flower, stamped in Versamark, is from Vases In Vogue (a hostess set). In Colours used are Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate and Groovy Guava. For a finished look I added the Purely Pomegrante double stiched ribbon. I coloured the image with Blender pens.

Here's another entry for the same category as above...this card is super super easy! For the 'sky' I used the Sky Blue double-sided designer paper. The flowers and leaves are from the In the Spotlight set (another hostess set). One of our new punches, the Scalloped punch, works very well with this large flower. The centers of the flowers are another small stamp from the same set that I have punched out with the 3/4'' punch and then attached with a little 'bling', our new rhinestone cirlcle brads. The stems of the flowers are from a very cute set, Stem Sayings. I have used our Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the flowers, letting them stamp out a little more!

Ok, this is all for tonight. Thanks for taking a look. Hoping for another bright and sunny day tomorrow!
