Splitcoaststampers - MFT Challenge - WCMD09G

For the MFT Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers, the challenge was to use Pink, Black, White & Bling! And there's no bling like some glittery PP and rhinestones! Here's what I came up with:

I'm not a big bling user - if there is such a thing! - but it was easy to pull out a couple different glitter papers and make it work! I used my nesties to make the Happy Birthday tag and then used my SU flower punch for the flower. I added the rhinestone to the flower for extra bling. Hope it's bling-y enough for you! :)

Splitcoaststampers - Verve Challenge - WCMD09E

For the Verve Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers, the challenge was to pick a flag and use those colors to make a card. Well I was hoping I could make a Halloween card, so I used the flag from Bhutan, which is Orange, Yellow & White. Here is what I came up with:

There's nothing cuter than this little Candy Corn for Halloween!! :) I started the card using just orange in the background, then decided it needed some yellow, so I ended up cutting pieces off everything to make it work. I had a pile of the thin scraps and thought...that would look cool on the card...so I put them on instead of using ribbon! And since I didn't really need the ribbon, I just cut off a piece that says Happy Halloween and put that as the saying.

Splitcoaststampers-Gratitude Challenge-WCMD09D

For the Gratitude, Chocolate & a Sketch Challenge for WCMD on Splitcoast Stampers, we had to use this Sketch:

And make it a Thank You card using Chocolate colors. So of course that means another Thank You card for my dogs to give my neighbor for their presents! :)

I decided to go simple on this card and just colored the dog in with ink & watercolor blenders plus a little bit of watercolor pencils on the collar - no copics yet :( . Then I used my scallop punch with a circle of brown and cream and some pop ups. Pretty cute if you ask me! :)

Splitcoaststampers - Gina K Challenge - WCMD09J

Over on Splitcoaststampers, they had several challenges yesterday for WCMD. So I was up past midnight last night working on cards...of course I started late - LOL!! For the Gina K challenge, we had to use Pumpkin, Chocolate & Vanilla colors. Of course in New England...that means fall foliage and covered bridges...right?!?! :) Here's what I came up with:

It's hard to see in the picture - sorry I can't take good pics of cards no matter what I do - but I used a Fiskars Basket Weave embossing plate (with my Big Kick of course) on the chocolate background. Then I distressed everything with chocolate ink to give it a fall look (the pumpkin pie was too bright for the look I was going for). Makes you remember that Thanksgiving is just right around the corner!! :)
