Paper Makeover Challenge

Last night was the November Release Party for Paper Makeup Stamps.  All new stamps are now live in the PMS Store.  Check out this blog post for the code to get 15% off the new stamps!

And at the release party a Paper Makeover Challenge was issued to make a Thank You card!  Easy, right?  Check out the PMS Blog for all the prize and challenge details! 

I used the Oo La La set  and Pretty Patterns Sketch #34 for my card sample.  

Smitten Snake

This month's Paper Makeover Challenge at Paper Makeup Stamps is to use Neon Green!  Use a PMS rubber stamp or digi on your creation and you could win a prize.  {wink}  Check out the details and link up your project at the PMS Blog. 

I stamped Smitten Snake on some green DP and cut him out.  I used a white gel pen for his teeth and eyes and a pink stardust glitter pen for his belly - love that shimmer!  {grin}  Then I couldn't resist adding pink gems to all the white squares on the DP too. 

The saying actually comes in a straight line, but to fit the circle better I cut the words apart {gasp!} and stacked them on my acrylic block.  I can always line them up straight again on my block if I want.  If you do this, be sure to stamp on a scrap paper a couple times first - just to make sure the words are all straight and {ahem} right side up.  Just sayin' from experience here!  {lol}

The sketch that I used is from the Hope You Can Cling To challenges at SCS.

Sizzling Makeover Challenge

Every month on the 7th, Paper Makeup Stamps will have a Paper Makeover Challenge hosted by Dawn Mercedes.   The Makeover challenge this month is to use Sizzling Summer Colors - think reds, oranges and yellows.  Check out the PMS Blog for all the details on playing along, linking up your card and prizes!  {wink}

For my sample, I have used the set called Freckled Lemonade.  I first stamped the saying with Stazon ink on glossy cardstock.  I clear embossed the citrus stamp several times with Dazzle Versamark for a glittery effect.  Then I sponged the red, orange and yellow inks over the background and wiped the excess ink off the embossed parts.  {Easy peasy lemon squeazy!}

Time for a Makeover

Paper Makeover Challenges have been introduced at the PMS Blog! Play along using a PMS image for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate towards rubber or digi stamps at the PMS Store! {wink}  Remember there are some freebies in the digi stamp section, if you're new to Paper Makeup Stamps!

First Challenge is to CASE one of the new Makeup Artists, Jackie, Janette, Jenn or Shana!  I chose this beauty from Shana and my heart is going pitter-pat with how my CASE turned out - I just love it!  I love pretty papers, but am so hesitant to mix patterns on my cards.  And I never take time to decorate the inside too, like Shana does.  But wow!  Decorating the inside of my card was fun!  {giggle}  See!

Second Challenge is to use a nautical theme.  I picked Eric the Captain Fairy and colored him with my new watercolor pencils and blender pen.  I haven't decided who to give this card to yet, so I've left off a saying for now. 

Hope you'll join us with your own Paper Makeovers! Be sure to link them to the PMS Blog for us to see and a chance to win the prize!
