Hello,
This is the second card I created for Tyra's Inspiration Challenge (S.E.I.)!



I must say this one was quite a challenge...in the cleaning department! I used several reinkers and ended up with an inky mess to clean! =)
But I loved how it turned out!

The stamped banner and sentiment is from the stamp set Banner Wishes (Close to My Heart) and the decorative tape is from Recollections. Ink pads are VersaMagic Turquoise Gem and Memento Rich Cocoa (Imagine Crafts).

I'm also entering this card in the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge...CFC 121: Create with 8.
I used 8 drops of ink (2 for each color: yellow, red, green and blue)! There's also a number 8 to the left of the banner...and "birthday" has 8 letters...does that count? =)

Have a nice day!
Lilian

Hello,

This card is for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: CAS-ual Christmas.


I used the CTMH stamp sets: Magical Days, Christmas Delights and Scandinavian Wishes (retired).
The numbers' panel was heat embossed in silver (Ranger embossing powder) and inked around the edges.
The stocking was pieced with patterned paper and foam tape for dimension. I also colored some details with Copic markers.


Finally, I stamped the sentiment at the bottom and added some sequins.


Thanks for stopping by!

This card was inspired by the sketch #50 from CAS(E) this Sketch! challenge blog. I didn't have time to play, but when I saw the sketch, I knew exactly what I wanted to do...
