Raspberry Suite CC 19


Ok, I'm back....this card was definitely inspired by the t-shirts. It is a technique call 'embooss resist' (check bottom of post for a quick tutorial). I've been hangin' for another 'Raspberry Suite' challenge and so couldn't wait to play along. I only wish I could get my christmas cards done as quickly LOL!



Stamps: Fancy flourishes (PTI), Star prints (PTI)
Card: Pink pirouette, pink passion, whisper white
Ink: Pink pirouette, soft sky, certainly celery, pink passion, chocolate chip, versamark
Accessories: Zigzag scissors, rhinestones, sponge, heat gun, clear embossing powder

Emboss Resist:

* Sponge different colours onto white/vanilla cardstock
* Stamp image with versamark over sponged cardstock
* Use clear embossong powder and heat emboss
* Sponge chocolate chip over embossed image

Hope these instructions help. This method hasn't always worked for me, but this time it turned out 'not too bad'.

Moxie Fab Challenge {Plum Crazy}

This stamp set from PTI is soooo much fun to play with. I am doing all different colour combos with this set and thought a 'plum' one would fit in with the Moxie Fab Challenge. I took my inspiration from Nichole Heady's blog HERE. You can only just see it, but I have used crystal effects on the pale plum dots. If you would like to play along, go HERE.





Stamps: Tree trimming trio (PTI), Signature christmas (PTI)

Card: Kraft, very vanilla, pale plum

Ink: Elegant eggplant, perfect plum

Accessories: Scallop edge punch, crystal effects, 1/4" circle punch, cm corner rounder, vintage buttons

Embellish Challenge - Owls



One of my favourite PTI stamps is 'Wise Owl'. I use it a lot! So when 'Embellish Magazine' put up their latest challenge I was all set, sort of LOL! I had just used it to make my sister's birthday card (which I will post later). BUT when I sat down to to the card, nothing came to me. Here is my 'clean & simple' card:


Stamps:
Wise owl (PTI), Polka dot basics II (PTI), Cheap talk (SU!)
Card: Whisper white and chocolate chip
Ink: Certainly celery (+marker), cameo coral (+marker), chocolate chip (+marker)
Accessories: Paper snips, dimensionals, CM corner rounder
