Double challenge card

Well, this is the second time I am writing this post as somehow when I went to publish it- it just went poof and dissappeared. Bummer! Anyway, I used Beate's weekend sketch and the weekly challenge in the hanna stamps forum. The hanna challenge was to use circles on your card. My circle requirement was satified in my dps, the brads, the ribbon and the paper piercing. Take a peek.


I started out with my sunshine dp which was cut to have a 1/8" border around it. I pierced 2 rows- one on the top and one on the bottom. I added my blue dp strip which has a small matte of orange that was pierced. I tied a ribbon around it and attached to my card base. I colored my Riley image with copics and prismamarkers, double matted it and added brads to the corners. This was then attached to the card. I finished up by stamping my sentiment in the lower left corner and added some stickles to the brads.

Supplies:
stamps- Surfer Riley, things Hanna would say
ink- pallette noir
CS/dp- blue Imaginisce dp from hanna stamps, bazzill bling, SU orange, sunshine dp from my LSS
accessories/tools- ribbon, brads, diamond stickles, paper piercer, copic markers and prismacolor markers

This was the first time I ever made a Riley card- can you believe it LOL? He looks so cute with his wet suit on. Thanks so much for visiting.

Beate's Weekend Challenge 50

Hope you are enjoying your weekend so far. I was not feeling too well last night and even had time to stamp while my dh and dd were at a movie and I fell asleep on the couch! I could have had 2.5hrs of stamping time and I wasted by sleeping LOL. I did have a little time this morning to whip up this card though.



This is another one of my double challenge cards- oh how I love that! The 2 challenges I did are Beate's Weekend Sketch and the Inkadinkado challenge from Jacksonbelle in their forum on SCS. For this card, I used my new Inkadinkado cupcake set. I stamped the cupcake image with versamark and embossed it with pink glittery embossing powder on cocoa CS. I cut out the top of the cupcake and layered it onto another cupcake image that I stamped with cocoa ink and colored with copic markers. I double matted my cupcake image and sentiment with my nestabilities. I used my SU slit? punch to make my the scalloped strip and put a rhinestone in the middle of the scallops. I think the matted layers are pretty self explanatory so I don't want to bore you with the details but if something is unclear please don't hesitate to post a comment and ask. The upper left corner seemed too bare to me so I experimented with a bunch of things in the corner. I first tried primas and they were nice but I felt it took the attention away from the image. Then I tried a photo corner- my dd said she did not like that LOL. Thirdly, I tried my oval punch with a straight edge and that was not bad but I finally decided on 2 word window punches that I pierced and finished off with a rhinestone. Hope you like my project for today.

Supplies:
stamps- Inkadinkado cupcakes
CS/paper- SU berry bliss, Close to cocoa, pretty in pink, GP white
ink- SU close to cocoa, versamark
Accessories/tools- Pink glittery ep, pink polka dot ribbon, SU slit punch, paper piercer, pink rhinestones, word window punch, nestabilities- rectangles, copic markers- RV11 RV13 E27
