Framed Bluebonnets

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW147 Open Challenge
Color Throwdown - CTD134
Kitchen Sink Stamps - 10MC12 

This week Flutterby Wednesday is hosting an open challenge.  Anything goes as long as you have a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation.  I've been itching to ink up my Kitchen Sink Stamps and got my color recipe for these bluebonnets from a card by Lynn McAuley.  Then I followed the 10 Minute Challenge layout for this card and I've discovered that I really need more acrylic blocks, haha!  It takes time to keep switching stamps on the blocks when inking up all these layers.  I love the depth you get with the finished image though!  {grin}  I confess that this 10 Minute card really took closer to 30 minutes. 

The shimmery blue cardstock is Sparkle Abysse from Paper Temptress.  I cut out a window with a Labels Ten Nestie and popped up the panel with dimensional tape.  The small "thanks" is from one of the freebie stamps that you get with any KSS order. 

Thanks for fluttering by today!

A Dandy Wish

Color Throwdown - CTD #100 Regal Rose, Real Red, Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze
SCS Technique Challenge - TLC281 double embossing
SCS Clean and Simple Challenge - CAS75 dry embossing

I made this simple card using one of Paper Makeup Stamps new July release sets called Dandy Wishes. I just {heart} all the dandelion images in it. This sweet one has the word 'Wish" right in the center of it. I used markers to ink up the stamp. It's also coated with some dazzling diamonds glitter for some easy sparkle. I embossed the baja breeze panel twice with Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes and Sizzix Summer.

The colors used are from Color Throwdown #100. They're having a huge celebration for their 100th challenge and giving away lots of prizes. Paper Makeup Stamps is one of the sponsors giving away the ENTIRE July Release on Lisa Kind's blog. And PMS is giving away an additional $30 gift certificate here for using a PMS image with the CTD colors.

Here's a close-up of the sparkle on the dandelion. {smile}
