Inspired by today's challenge of Don Li-Leger's art found here:

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...d=122550537 1

I used Apricot Appeal and Basic Gray cardstock. Shaded with Pebbles, Inc shimmery chalks, colored with markers. Embossed Bamboo in silver e.p.
Stamp sets: Bloomin' Beautiful, Organic Grace, and Oh So Lovely.

 

I've been working all day with the I Wish scrappin' kit and I'm not nearly done with half of the stuff that's in there. I love this and highly recommend it!
I'll post all of the projects I made with this kit when I am through. So far I have completed eight 6x6 scrapbook pages ready for pictures, 6 cards, 1 candy holder card, and some gift tags and I've only used about a third of the kit.

 

 

Use a stamp in a way that is was not meant for, that was today's fun

Limited Supplies challenge over at Splitcoast. Since I had Carved & Candlelit

sitting on my desk after making some Halloween cards for the neighborhood kids

I decide to use that somehow. I embossed the pumpkins in Iridescent Ice and built a

snowman. Brads ( vintage black) and some stamps from Cold Play were used along

with new Ski Slope paper and fancy non SU corner punch.

 

 

To You & Yours house stamped in chocolate with trees in olive. Housetop sprinkled with clear Chunky Sprinkles, colored in markers.
Skaters colored in markers, cut out and mounted on dimensionals. Added laser cut snowflakes and sentiment. Paper is from scrappin' kit I Wish.

 

Stamp sets: Fabulous Flowers and Punches Three.
Cardstock/paper and or ink: Kiwi Kiss, Night Of Navy, Whisper White, Urban Garden.
Ice rhinestone brads, Kiwi Kiss ribbon, scallop square punch, dimensionals, piercer, white gel pen.

Playing today with the Big Shot Baskets & Blooms die. By my third one I had the knack of adhering the bottom on fairly well. Practice, practice...
Paper used was Ski Slope and Ghostly Greetings. Candy basket will be for my son's bus driver so in case she ever sees us running down the road in the pouring rain this year trying to catch the bus she will take pity on us and wait :)

I embossed Victorian Lace background stamp on Basic Black in silver e.p. For the soot stamping I pressed the haunted house down into the freshly burned glossy cardstock to lift off some of the soot and then I stamped the same image over top this, a little off to the side in Basic Gray ink. Sprayed to seal. Mounted this up on dimensionals.

 

Images colored with markers and brads for embellishments. Ski Slope paper

and Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon. All supplies were current SU except for large scalloped circle.

 

Bella Rose paper with Whisper White (stamped in pink with Itty Bitty Backgrounds), Old Olive, Pirouette Pink, Ruby Red layers. A Rose Is A Rose stamped and cut out for embellishment on dimensionals. Pink ribbon with pearls.

The star book was from a kit so it went together pretty quickly, I used Cloud 9 Design paper for covers and a Pretties Kit flower, and white grosgrain ribbon. The inside is decorated just on the first couple of pages, I ran out of challenge time. I will finish inside, add pics and send it to my Billy's grandmother for Christmas.

For this week's inspiration challenge found here:
