Today’s Whiff of Joy Challenge is “Love is in the Air. I hadn’t used my “Nora blowing Kisses” image yet and thought it would be perfect for this challenge. The image was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a 4″ square of Neenah Solar White cardstock. The image was colored with Copic Markers (Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, BV00 Hair: Y23, Y26, E35, E97 shoes/dress: Booo, B12, B14, B16 hearts/socks: YR07, R08, R27, R39 Ground: W4, W5, W7 background: W00, W0, W1). Stardust Stickles was added over the hearts.

The edges of the image square were distressed and Picket Fence Crackle Paint was added to the edges. Once it was dry the edges were sponged with Pumice Stone Distress ink and a border was stitched around the edges. The image was adhered to a piece of Kraft cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest of the Beaded Square Nestabilities dies.

A 2″ x 4 3/4″ piece of October Afternoon Farmhouse paper was stitched to a 4 3/4″ square of the same paper pack. A hole was punched to the lower right corner of the image layers and White Organdy ribbon was threaded through it. The image layer was adhered to the paper with dimensionals and the ribbon was tied into a bow.

The layers were adhered to the card base a 5″ x 11″ piece of Solar White cardstock folded in half. The bottom edge of the card base was cut and embossed with Classic Scallop Edgeabilities dies. A sentiment from the General Sayings sentiment set was stamped on a strip of Solar White cardstock. The edges of the strip were punched with a square punch, the strip was shaped into a banner and adhered under the ribbon bow. Rhinestones on the sentiment panel and the upper right hand corner of the image and parts of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl finish off the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have time to participate in the challenge. Have a wonderful day!

Today’s Timeless Tuesday Challenge hostess is Maki. She challenged us to use leaves and tree images, but no flowers. I combined this challenge with a Hope You can Cling to challenge. For my sample I chose to use the stamp set Ferns and Fiddles.

I cut and embossed three pieces of Neenah Solar White cardstock with a Label 9 Nestabilities die. Different ferns were stamped on each panel with Worn Lipstick Distress ink before the panels were sponged with Spun Sugar Distress ink.

The card base is a 6″ x 7 1/2″ piece of Soft Suede Textured cardstock scored at 3 3/4″. The bottom corners were rounded. A piece of white cardstock was cut and embossed with Triple Scallop Edgeabilities dies. A 2 1/4″ x 6″ piece of MME Lost and Found Market Street paper was stitched to it and May Arts Organdy Ribbon was tied around the layers. A Basic Grey Button was tied over the bow and Baby Bling was added to the scallops.

A sentiment was stamped in Brushed Corduroy Distress ink on one of the panels before the strip was adhered to the card base. Part of a Finesse Rhinestone swirl was adhered next to the bow.

The inside of the card was decorated with a strip of the same patterned paper that was used for the front along with another fern panel.

Lydia Fiedler wrote the tutorial today on SCS. She shows us how to use Crayons and Embossing folders for a new resist technique. As a variation, she shows the same technique with solid stamps. I created my sample with the technique Variation.

For my sample I used Sweet ‘n Sassy Wildflower stamp set. I used the big flower image for the technique and Neenah Solar White cardstock. After rubbing white crayon over the cardstock, Shabby Shutter Distress ink was sponged over it. The cardstock was cut and embossed with the second largest Lacy Square Nestabilities die.

The sentiment is also from the stamp set. It was stamped on the lower right side of the image with Peeled Paint ink. A slit was cut to the left of the sentiment. White organdy ribbon was pulled through the slit and slide into a bow. The bow was topped with a button.

The card base is a 4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. The bottom was cut and embossed with a Edgeabilities die from the Classic Scallop and Classic Postage sets.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
