Club Scrap September Blog Hop and Decorate to Celebrate DT Challenge #110

Hello, crafty friends!

Welcome to Club Scrap's Blog Hop - featuring the Transformations Collection!!!

If you came from Hetty's Blog, you're in the right place!
Your next stop will be Donna's Blog!

I love pretty patterned papers and this collection is just gorgeous! I used the supplies that come in the Transformations Club Scrap Deluxe Kit.

Here are my projects...

I stamped the stones stamp (from Transformations Collection stamp set) on the specialty paper. I used Memento Black Tuxedo ink pad, but I should have used Staz-On instead...for a darker, more defined black.

But look at the shiny accents on the patterned and specialty paper!

I also stamped the sentiment from Transformations Art Nouveau stamp set in black, and inked the edges with Brilliance Pearlescent ink pad. Then, I added some pearls.

My second card is very simple...both stones and sentiment are from Transformations Collection stamp set.

I simply stamped the stones and used the Transformations Leaf and Stone stencil to sponge different colors on them...

I stamped the sentiment, cut the words apart and adhered them on the stones with the glue pen.

I added some fibers and the Antique Chinese Coin with glue pen. I adhered the stones with foam tapes and highlighted some words with Copic markers.

The third project could be a 5x7 card or a wall decor piece...this is also my DT project for Decorate to Celebrate #110!

I am moving next week and I am trying to "kill as many birds with a stone" (please, note that I would never kill birds with stones...so no birds were harmed)! =)

Challenges:

1. Word Art Wed #203: Anything Goes

2. Simon Says Wed Anything Goes

3. Craft Your Passion #281: Always Anything Goes

I cut a card using Artfully Sent CTMH Cricut cartridge, backed it up with the gorgeous patterned paper and hand-drew a frame around it using black pen and Copic marker.

I stamped the shell (from Transformations Borders & Backgrounds stamp set) several times, colored it with Distress Ink...
