Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend!! I know I did...did not accomplish much blogging or crafting but had some quality time with my family!! I sometimes feel I slight them with my addiction to crafting. So I feel so good about taking the time out for the girls and Scott. Now, however, I am feeling slightly behind. Oh well.
Since today is Monday it is time for the product spotlight at Stamp and Create. For the next two weeks, Lacey has all her Shimmerz on sale for 25 % off! So be sure and visit Lacey's vast selection of colors soon before they are gone.
Also, don't forget about the ribbon challenge that is going on all month at the store blog! Lacey is giving away a FABULOUS prize! And all you have to do to enter is use any stamps available at Stamp and Create along with some ribbon on your project! So many of us love using ribbon and since she has so many different lines of stamps, it is so easy to join the challenge ((you don't have to purchase the stamp from her, there are so many different companies that Lacey carries in the store including Penny Black, Greeting Farm, Wags n Whiskers, Popcorn Bear, Stampavie, Kraftin Kimmie, My Heart Stamps for you, CC Designs, High Hopes, and Whiff of Joy that it is hard to not to join us!!)
Here is my creation using a new Whiff of Joy Image in Lacey's store from the Get Well collection: Sick Henry. Since I was feeling sick last week this just seemed like the perfect card to make. The mouse looked like I felt. LOL!
I took this photo in my backyard so I could capture a lot of the shimmerz I used. The flourish die cut uses Angel Wings Shimmerz and then I distressed it with chocolate chip ink. The little roses are ivory yellow roses that I painted with Opal shimmerz. I also added shimmerz to the bigger Lilliput rose to blend it in with my mauve color combo. The ears and tail were accented with Opal Shimmerz as well. Lastly, I distressed my oval with chocolate chip and opal shimmerz.
What do you think?The layout uses the Lili of the valley sketch for this week:
The dp is the Basic Grey Capella that has tones of pink and yellow and brown in it.
Card Recipe:
stamps: WOJ Sick Henry
paper: Basic Grey capella, Ivory CS, Pink Pirouette
Accessories: Shimmerz: angel wings and opal, Mauve silk ribbon, butterfly charm, labels 10 spellbinders, Teaberry-Lillyput rose, Kaiser Craft snow white pearls,
challenges:
Lili of the Valley Sketch
Whiff of joy- yellow and brown (used subtle brown for coloring and distressing as well as in dp) and one other color (I chose pink)
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday- chipboard (my flourish that I painted with shimmerz0
Flutter by Wednesday- flowers and butterfly
Papertake Weekly- say it with flowers
Stamp something: use two of something (2 designer papers)
Sew Many Challenges: anything goes
Creative Belli- holes (I pierced the oval around my image)
Charisma cards- 3d I dimensionalized the image and added lots of details for added dimension
Crazy Challenge- All things girly
Spoonful of Sugar: cute and girly
Crafty Creations: encouragement
Totally Gorjuss: Bling it on
Stampavie: Flower Power
Thanks so much for stopping by!! Sorry it took me so long to get this posted but blogger caused me a lot of technical difficulties today!! Grr!!
For more inspiration using the shimmerz, please visit my dt sisters:
Joy, Jeanette, Sharon and Lacey.
Have a great day!!!
hugs,
Chris
