Sparkle and Shine Challenge

Hello!

I am super excited to share a card that will be featured on the new challenge blog dedicated to SEQUINS!!!  As part of the Pretty Pink Posh DT, I was asked to guest for the first challenge of Sparkle and Shine!  (side note: Pretty Pink Posh is a sponsor :) )

My card uses lots of 6mm Shamrock sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.  I started with diecutting this large Four Leaf Clover from Frantic Stamper into a white trimmed panel.  My idea was to try out adhering all the sequins "behind" the clover cut out.  This took some patience but I love how it turned out!

My clover panel was layered with foam adhesive onto a gold cardstock mat.  A simple "greetings" sentiment was diecut and added in a green cardstock (here it looks like it doesn't match....ughh).  The sentiment is from a fantastic die called Diagonal Card Sketcher Die from Frantic Stamper.

The challenge graphic is obviously green, clovers, or shamrocks.  Have fun with your sequins and play along!

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

SFYTT with Reverse Confetti!

Hello!  I have a fun "layered" card using products from Reverse Confetti and the current SFYTT (Sketch For You to Try).  This card is going to my daughter as she finishes her basketball season next week so I went with some girly colors!

I started by stamping a white panel with Provincial Gray Fresh Ink using the So Many Stars stamps.  I sewed a layer of vellum over the top to soften the look of the stars even though I used a lighter gray ink.  Next, I stamped and cut the pennant from Winning and added it with foam adhesive.  A few die cut stars from Oh My Stars Confetti Cuts were added to a banner die cut from Tag Me Dies.

Now the best part is.......there is always a winner every month!  Here are the details:

The winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store and claim the title of ‘Fetti Fave. The winner of SFYTT will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 30th of each month.

Check out the SFYTT post......HERE.

So let's see your Reverse Confetti creations this month.....you still have time to get it done!

Be My Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!!! 

♥♥♥

  

Yesterday was bittersweet for me as it was 10 years ago that I got the call about my mom.  Valentine's is always a day that will be somewhat sad for me but I try to remember the wonderful memories of her that I have.

I couldn't let this day go by without sharing a Valentine I made for the occasion.  

I've used the Be My Valentine stamp along with the gorgeous sequin mix called Full of Love by Neat & Tangled.  I started with a Distress Ink washed piece of watercolor paper and stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed with Gold Glitter Zing embossing powder.  I love the "chunky" look it gives compared to the traditional gold embossing.

I added in lots of outlined stamped hearts from the Be My Valentine set.  To the centers of a few of them, I washed them with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.

I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with loved ones and remember to hug them tight and fill their day with LOVE!

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!
