Runway Inspired Challenge #32: Moschino Cheap and Chic

My entry in the Runway Inspired Challenge is an homage to one of my favorite TV shows, "Scandal."  The letters and silver frame are embossed with silver embossing powder.  The scored frame was done on the Martha Stewart scoring board.  The heart was cut with the Silhouette and "glittered" with Martha Stewart glitter.    #whatthehuck?!?

PTI Make it Monday #108: Inked Backgrounds

For this card I dusted off my brayer.  I haven't used it in quite a long time and wanted to try it to get more solid coverage on my background.  For this card I embossed some polka dots onto white cardstock with clear embossing powder.  I brayered on Memento Paris Dusk ink and wiped the excess ink off the clear dots.  Here is the result:

Supplies:
Paper: GKD white
Stamps: Papertrey Ink, GKD(for bottom section of polka dots)
Ink:  Memento Paris Dusk and Tangelo
Other:  brayer, white twine, MS scoring board

PTI Make It Monday #107: Clear Card & Copic Coloring

I call this my "Camouflage" Card.  I'm not sure how this came to me, but I thought how cool would it be to have these butterflies some how blend into the background, while popping off the page?  Well, here is my result:  

For the back panel of the card, I thought: "Why should pink have all the fun?"  This was a fun card to make and actually pretty simple, if you can get over cutting into your beautifully colored and stamped focal image.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Hero Arts (focal image), PTI (sentiment, butterflies)
Cardstock:  PTI Kraft, Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, Clear Cardstock
Copics: RV19, RV17, RV04, YG95, YG25, YG23
Ink: Memento
Other: White embossing powder (focal image), PTI Butterfly Dreams dies

"Fashionable" Card #1

Inspiration is everywhere!  So, if the latest fashions are stretching the budget, dress up a card instead!  This card was inspired by the color scheme in this fashion photo.  I colored the roses using Copics (E44, E42, E41, RV10, R85). I embossed the stamped images with black embossing powder ( it really makes them pop! It also picks up the shiny purse in the photo). As you can see, I don't mind "coloring outside the box" when it comes to floral images. My favorite thing is the button. It's really a white button colored with an E44 Copic and when it dried it created this marbled effect. Way cool! The stamps are both SU (focal) and GKD (background/sentiment). You'll see more of these "fashionable" cards in the very near future.
