Flower Power

The current challenge at Sweet stampin challenge is Flower Power. This card used stamps from Sheena Douglas Paint fusion range but coloured with Cosmic shimmer mists. The backing paper and border was created on My Craft Studio using elements for their Quintessential garden CD.

Card for a man

The current challenge at Bearly mine-challenges is a card for a man or a boy. I decided to use Sheena Douglass's a little bit Sketchy - Cottage stamp, which was stamped using Brushed Courduroy Distress ink and layed onto co-ordinating cardstock. The backing paper was made using an Impressabilities embossing die through the Big Shot onto some textured paper (that I got in a kit from Create and Craft). I then inked over the embossing with Black Soot Distress Ink and then sprayed with Bronze Cosmic shimmer mist, to bring our the brown tones in the paper.

Also going to enter this card into Pear tree designs for their 'Anything Goes' challenge.

A different Christmas card

Been having a play with the new embossing powders from Sheena Douglass. I've used a stag and branch stamp from a Creative Expressions stamp plate.
The stag has been stamped with versamark onto black cardstock and embossed using the holographic powder, this gives a purple effect on black card. I then stamped the branch several times with Versamark and embossed with the fine white powder. The image has then been mattered onto white card and then blue mirror board. To finish the card I added a blue mirror board strip, punched snowflakes and greeting emboseed agani using the fine white powder.

Autumn Leaves

 

Just loving the new Sheena Douglass stamps and this card uses stamps from the leaves stamp plate. I added distress inks: Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Pine Needles and Shabby Shutters onto white card using cut n dry foam. This was then spritzed with Cosmic shimmer mists Golden Mint and Ancient Copper and then I stamped the leaves and acorns onto it.
