3-D Giraffe

The Technique Lover's Challenge (TLC162) I made this card for was "Paper Tole." I used another technique I recently learned, which is to ink up one side of the Embossing folder to get a distressed look. Again, REALLY trying to use some of the designer paper that I have stacked up in my craft room.

Supplies used:

Stamps: Smarty Pants, Bundle of Joy

Ink: Basic Black, More Mustard

Cardstock: More Mustard, Ivory,

Other Supplies: SU Markers, Cuttlebug, Embossing Folder, Foam Dots, Paper Piercing Tool, Distressing Tool, Ribbon, Non-SU DP

Inspiration From A Shirt?

Embellished Sky

This is another card using "unloved embellishments". I can't believe that I have accumulated SO many embellishments and so much designer paper. I'm getting into a mode to use what I have before buying more.....unless it's SO cool I just can't resist!

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Abundant Joy

Ink: Basic Black

Cardstock: Soft Sky, White

Other Supplies: Soft Sky DP, SU Markers, Metal Clip, Plastic Sticker, Ribbon, Brads, Dimensionals

Just Spray It!

This card was made by spraying the cardstock with water prior to stamping the images to create softer edges. Roses in Winter is one of my all-time FAVORITE stamps sets and I'm still ticked off that it has been retired.....

Ink: Barely Banana, So Saffron, Mellow Moss, Almost Amethyst
Cardstock: So Saffron, White, Mellow Moss, SU DP

Unloved Supplies

This card is the result of a challenge to use supplies that have been sitting around the craft room not being used. Well, I LOVED the color of these paper flowers and just HAD to buy them.....they've just been sitting around gathering dust, so I thought they would be perfect for this challenge.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Simple Sketches

Ink: Soft Sky

Cardstock: White, Soft Sky DP

Other Supplies: Paper flowers, Pebble brads, Ribbon, Brads, Cuttlebug, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, Dimensionals
