I have done it again and made two cards for this weeks Challenge - how could I resist with our weekly sponsor being Lacey from Stamp and Create - this adorable image is Ride 'em Ryan and irresistible - he is perfect for a boy card!! I have coloured him with chalks and made a few additions to make him a bit more rustic - you know how it is with boys!
He is cut out by hand and then popped up on foam tape onto that gorgeous DP from Stampin' Up - some of which has been embossed with the Perfect Paisley' embossing Folder - perfect for a Western style card!! I have cut out some fabulous leather look DP with the SU Windows Lot Punch and used the ends to fit the sketch, adding some blue brads - I love the touch of blue! I have added Corner Dies that came in a RAK - these are fabulous and work so well with this sketch
My next card is made with an image from Priscilla - how could I not love this! As soon as I saw it I realised that by keeping an eye out for what Priscilla does just ENABLES me with craft making - LOL! This image is available over at CDAC for a limited time - it now also comes in three colours - divine! I went for a classic combination of pink and black!
I added pearls around the neckline and lightly coloured the skirt with pink chalks and then added SU Dazzling Diamonds - there is a close up a bit further down the post.
I used three different DPs and lots of layering to complete this card! You can see the shimmer of the Dazzling Diamonds below.
I used some silver mesh and some fabric roses that were way too big - I cut half the height off them and they were perfect! Silver pearls added to some corners finished it off.
I am linking these to the following Challenges:
OSAAT - Black, White and one other colour - pink (card 2)
Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes (both cards)
Charisma Cards - Anything But Square - rectangle (both cards)
Stamp Simply - Two's Company - both cards 2 corner dies (card 1) 2 roses (card 2)
Once again, it's "YOUR PICK" It is as Easy as 1-2-3.
Just have fun and come play with us :)
CONGRATULATIONS to
Our MMSC63 Gold Star Award Winner

ReplyDeleteLinda, you know you never cease to AMAZE me. You just keep growing and evolving as an artist. Your creations for this week are so incredible. The Ride M Ryan image is adorable and I love all the textures and embossing. You showcased Priscilla's digi image beautifully Linda. And, I love your pink against the black and the pearls around the neck! Linda, I'm getting further and further behind on all your uploads and I apologize. I don't know that I'll be able to comment on them all, but please know how much it is an honor to gaze upon your talent. I see all of them as you upload on your blog through the feed blitz, so I know what you've been doing. But, commenting time has been a problem for me as of late as I'm sure it is for you too. I will do the best I can, but I will never cease to be amazed at each and everything you do my friend!!
