I have two cards to share with you today - I could not resist another chance to play along with the Featured Stamper on SCS where Smilyn Stef is being honoured this week. I love this card with the bicycles and used this image from the 'Divine Miss M' (aka Stampmuse)
I coloured the image with chalking, using a blender pen and sponged around the edges with Distressing Ink. It was layered onto black CS and attached to the DP.
Vintage corners were added two two corners, thanks to Lesley (aka SuperNan aka MUM!! LOL)
The final touch is the strip of lace that has had a small pearl added to each loop along the way. Oh and two choclate pearls were added to the top left hand corner - just to balance it!!
This also qualifies for If the Shoe Fits Challenge which is using your favoutite medium and colouring - you know I LUV the chalks!!
There you have it - quick and easy - I am happy to day that this is made up of more bits and pieces that have been lying on my desk - what a great feeling to actually see it! A few more cards and I might have completed the task! I love this faux cleaning!!
****************************************
My next card is for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges. I have used Layers of Color new release set Merci Bouquet, stamping it onto some chipboard that I have had for-eva!! I coloured it with chalks and added a light touch of Kindy Glitz to the flowers. A mini pearl is added around the edges of the image!
This has then been sponged with Distressing Inks and attached to the various layers of DP with dimensionals. I have added lace along the inside edge of the triangular shape of embossed CS, which has been sponged around the edge with distressing ink!
,The sentiment is also from the Layers of Color set Merci Bouquet, I love this font - it is so pretty and suits so many styles of card...I don't know about you BUT I find it hard to find sentiments that suit different styles of cards
I have also linked this card to the Creative Card Crew where anything goes.
Charisma Cardz Challenge where Anything but Christmas is the go!
Magical Craft Fortnightly Challenge - Thank You is the theme.
There you have it - my new additions for today - thanks for calling in and the encouraging comments you leave me - you are such a blessing! I love these 'cruisy' days I am having...I hope your days are relaxed and you are winding down for the New Year! God bless you!!
This and the midnight challenge are both just gorgoeus!
