HUGS & KISSES--PP229

January 25, 2015

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!  This week we have a sketch challenge hosted by the lovely, Jaydee!  We hope you will play along with us this week!  


This sketch is so versatile and can be used for any type of card.  We can't wait to see what you create!  

In keeping with completing all my Valentine cards, I decide to make a fun card for someone very special.  I hope you will enjoy my take on the sketch!


I just adore this little Cupid.  Every time I color him, I smile!  I used Glossy Accents and Wink of Stella to make his wings and heart glisten.  He is so excited to be sending Hugs & Kisses!

      Sending Love Your Way--Lawnscaping Challenge No.98

      January 24, 2015

      My card today is for the Lawnscaping Challenge.  It is my first time to enter their challenge and I am so excited.  I love Lawn Fawn products and now that I have purchased a few of their wonderful products, I can play along.  


      The challenge is to create your own background with your stamps.  I had so much fun with this technique. First, I created my own distressed ink/watercolored paper.  I added several different inks together and then splashed a few drops of water on it to give it a "bokeh" look.  Then I stamped the post office seal in Primrose Petals ink (retired) and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder.  Then I went back and stamped the canceled mail stamp in Versa Mark and heat embossed it in black.  It gave such a cool shine to my paper!  I love it!  Something new for me.  I am a paper hoarder, but I really like making my own backgrounds now.  Maybe that will help curb my need to purchase soooo much paper.  LOL! Now, I can buy more stamps!!!! 


      I wanted you to see the background paper a little closer, so hope this reflects all the details.  I also added Glossy Accents to all the little hearts on the envelopes and sentiment.  


      Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Please leave a comment if you can, I love to hear your thoughts!

      You can email me at: Claire if you have any questions.  

      The products I used will be listed below.

      Happy Stampin!
      Claire
