Annabelle Stamps Blog Challenge

Welcome everyone to the first ever Annabelle's Bling & Sketch Challenge #01 (ABSC01 for short).

Here is my card

I have used 4 stamps from the Holly Branch set , the main feature image is actually made from 3 different stamps, I love how you can mix and match.

I have stamped these images using versamark ink and silver embossing powder, after heating the powder I then coloured using twinkling H2Os. it was then cut out and layered onto  shiny silver card with a linen finish, a scalloped border was punched from some green bazzill cardstock.

The red base card has been stamped on one side only with Versamark ink using a different holly image.

The designer paper is from Kaisercraft.

Finally for the bling. I have used Chilli 6mm Sprinkles.

All items are available from Annabelle Stamps on line store.

For more details on the card sketch challenge go to Annabelle's Blog.

There is also a chance to win some Blog candy over there. Check it out now.

Until Next Time

Go for Gold High Hopes Challenge #42

Here is this card for this weeks High Hopes Challenge #42, I have been away from the challenges lately due to a very lengthy hospital stay. I am now back home, feeling well and back to making cards.

This weeks challenge is 'Go for Gold: Use gold somewhere on your card.'

Boy! have I used gold. We have gold embossing powder, gold cardstock, gold ribbon and cord and finally little gold balls.

I have watercoloured this gorgeous Elephant using Twinkling H2Os, cut him out and layered my card using Bazzill cardstock and designer paper from Sandylion.The gold card was leftover from years ago.

Here is a close up of the all small details. I just love the shimmer of the Twinkling H2Os

Now a reminder for my Blogger-versary Blog Candy . Read the previous post for all the details.

Until Next Time
