Celebrate Card – Sparkle & Shine Challenge #2

March 15, 2015

Hello! Today I am joining the amazing the Sparkle & Shine Challenge them for our 2nd challenge of the month!

SS Challenge-01

On the 15th of each month, there will be a fun sketch challenge for you to indulge.

Here is my take. I wanted to create a naturally formed diagonal background using some ink. I used Tumbled Glass and Dusty Concord Distress Inks and blended them on the background. Even though this is not a watercolored piece, I used Distress Watercolor paper for the background because I love the texture of the watercolor paper. It adds a nice interested to the whole card.

I also cutout the background layer with Stitched Rectangular Die to add some stitched line along the edges, and also cutout a stitched tag piece for a focal point.

Check out the flower on the tag, isn’t it so pretty? I used Big, Bold, and The Extras Stamp Set by Winnie & Walter and colored the flower in with Copics and fussy cut the image. If you look closely, you will see light flower images on the tag as well, I used solid flower image from the same set and stamped with 2nd generation image.

As a final touch, I added some Marshmallow 4mm sequins and Sparkling Clear  6mm sequins from Pretty pink posh. It is a simple card but has lots of textures and colors.

Hope you liked today’s card! Thanks for stopping by.

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches
    Hello, beautiful!

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
