Yikes!! Call me crazy....I actually used Pixie Pink!!! I bought the felt flowers on the net and thought they looked like Regal Rose. However, when they arrived, they popped out of the box Pixie Pink!!
The bird and heart were stamped with Black Craft ink and embossed with clear ep. They were cutout and attached with Dimensionals. The vanilla layer was pierced around the edges and the sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. The card base was run through the Cuttlebug with the Dotted Swiss folder and Pretty Petals bg stamp was used on the panels. Punched flourishes and ribbon finish it off.
This also qualifies for the Belli Challenge...this week we were to use a long forgotten favorite set that needed a little love. The Always set spoke to me today so I had to use it...actually, someone had used it for the color challenge and I made a note to get it out for today.
The Belli Challenge was created by Chris (Chrissyd723)Dickinson to inspire us to use the *stuff* lying around our stamping spaces...those long forgotten goodies that we once had to have!! Anyone can play, so get out your scraps, stamps, and embellies!! Check out Chris' blog for details on how to win the challenge!! Use the Keywords CBC50 when uploading your card to the gallery.
This is also for the Double Dog Dare challenge I do each week with a group of SCS friends.
The Double Dare Challenge was hosted this week by Charlene (LilLuvsStampin) and the instructions were:
1. Use one or more punches (I used the flourish punch)
2. Use a background stamp ( I used Pretty Petals )
3. No designer paper allowed (yikes!!)
The Double Dare girls would like to invite you to join along in our weekly challenges! Just create a card or project using the Double Dare challenge instructions listed above and post it in your SCS gallery. Please be sure to use the keyword DDC when you post so we can all find your card. There is no time limit for posting your card and a new challenge is issued each Tuesday. You can find the other DDC cards here.
So come along and join in with us!! We can't wait to see what you create!
Thanks for looking today and you can find more details and pictures on my blog, Stamping With A Passion!
