Cuttlebug Challenge :: 29

This week's Cuttlebug Challenge is a Mother's Day theme that includes use of some digital images from MyGrafico.com. Additionally we were to include an envelope w/our projects.

I normally relish the opportunity to rant about the challenges w/challenges, but I'll spare you the grumbling ... just because I feel like I'm beyond my whining quota for this month.

Thanks for looking ... here's what I used:
cardstock: craft supply, Archiver's, DCWV and Basic Grey (envelope)
digital image: My Grafico
dry embossing: Cuttlebug Texture Textiles and word filled hearts
ribbon and letter stickers: American Crafts
die cuts: Nestabilities ovals and scalloped ovals

Cuttlebug Card

I saw a card on Splitcoast Stampers a few weeks ago. I've been peeking at it and threatening to scraplift it ... well, here is the original and here is my version.

Kinda cool, eh? I think the inked embossing and the sewing make it 'pop'. I inked the embossing using a brayer. Oh, and how about those Nestabilities ...? I did not know that the Nesties were avail on Overstock.com for $19.99 + $2.95 flat rate shipping. You are now enabled!

A Birthday Card for My Girl

Here's a card that I made for my daughter. Though it almost did not happen. She nearly coerced me into making it. It includes a bit of her fav color, turquoise, along w/some bling!
