Mojo Monday 245 - Word Play and Pretty Postage

Another week at Mojo Monday, MOJO245, with another sketch design by Julee Tilman. Every Monday I look to see the new sketch design and always get excited, but only get a chance towards late week and or weekends to play, so once again it's Sunday for me.

Here you go:

I've been wanting to work on a masculine card and here is what I came up with. Got out the DSP First Edition Specialty and started away. It's hard to tell in the photo, but there is a color contrast on the card with Black and Early Espresso.

For the main attraction, the stamp set: Word Play was used along with 2 3/8" Scallop Punch and 1 1/2" circle, afterwards added 1 Basic Rhinestone for the letter "I". For the upper left hand side,  the set: Pretty Postage was used, 1 3/8" circle and 1 1/2" circle as well. Soft Suede ink was perfect for the neutral look.

Almost forgot, as usual I used Stampin Dimensional under the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle to pop up the sentiment more. Hope you enjoy!! Pin It

The Paper Players #73 - Color Challenge - Mover & Shapers along with Word Play

Love the Mover & Shapers Curly Label Die and finally had a chance to play with it for this challenge at The Paper Players which this week is a color challenge along with a Clean and Simple look. If you would like to join the fun click here to go directly to the challenge.

For this card, I used 2 different embossing folders, Strips for the top of the card and the Snow Burst for the bottom half of the inside card.

For the snowflakes on the top, I used the snowflake punch and than used Shimmer Paint to create the Silver in it and used one basic pearl for the center of each one.  

Here is a close up picture of the middle of the card which shows better the sentiment. I  used the stamp set from Word Play and embossed it in Silver.

Since I love punches, I couldn't resist but to use the eyelet border punch for the top of the card which sits nicely over the snow burst embossing look that is on the inside of the card.

Hope you enjoyed!!

Monday MOJO191

 

I got a chance and had some time to play yesterday on one of the sketches from the Monday Mojo 191. The good thing was I finished it, but was not able to post it up.

Instead of posting it up, I was working on the blog to get it started and by the time I got it up and going, it was super late.

At least now, I have a place to post going forward the artwork from different challenges and hope to inspire all to join on the fun.  

I decided to experiment with layering and came up with this cute little flower on the right side by using stampin dimensionals. Each layer has dimensionals and makes it look 3-D in person. Topped it off by adding a little tiny rhinestone.

Hopefully you can see the layering in the (first pic).

• Stamp Set: Petal Pizzazz (113417), Punch Potpourri (Hostess), Word Play now on Sale (120651)......30% off...offer ends May 31, 2011.
