ATSM Bingo Challenge #5

We have a brand new challenge for you over at Addicted to Stamps and More! 

We know you all like Bingo so check out this week's Bingo card -

I have chosen the line

Pearls / Chalks / DSP (Designer Paper)

Here is my card -

I have stamped my Reason to Smile stamp in Chocolate Chip onto Crumb cake cardstock. Using my pearlescent chalks, I have gently gone over the flowers with yellow and brown. The sentiment is from my Petite Pairs set.

We have an amazing PAMPER PACKAGE for our Top Addict this week!

* 1 x Box of Coconut Milk hydrating and nourishing facial masks (5 per box)

Just Add Ink - Inspiration Photo

Off to bed soon. Hopefully all the antibiodics will have taken hold on my son by the morning. He's got a case of bronchitis. Poor bugger.

So, my last post for tonight is to show you a card I have made for the JAI Inspiration Photo challenge.

Once again, I went for a CAS design to try and show the colours that I wanted to use.

I started with my Reason to Smile stamp set. I found after a couple of attempts that this particular stamp works better if I use my basic black marker instead of the pad. Once stamped (using my stamp-a-ma-jig), I embossed the image with clear powder. I then coloured in the flowers using Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi and Perfect Plum.

I then layered co-ordinating papers and VOILA.

Now, I have just had to come back to say that with my ruddy internet, this just took me an hour and a half to publish this post and get my link to JAI with 4 minutes to spare. Arghhhhhhhhhh.

Thanks for looking xx

Less Is More

A cool challenge at Less is More this week. It's a one layer challenge with a twist.

Three of Anything.... 

Have a look at my card

Unfortunately, I don't think the colours of my embossing have showed up particularly well. I have used the same stamp 3 times. The stamp set is Reason to Smile. I have then used 3 different embossing powders - Gold, Clear and Silver. Lot's of white space and CAS.

UPDATED

Here are some photos I've just taken of the embossing to help show the colours a bit better ;)

It looks better in real life lol.
