CTMH January Stamp of the Month and H2H Challenge

The theme of this week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge is cards featuring animals or insects.  The CTMH January Stamp of the Month "Find Your Style" features a bird, butterfly, dress form and shoe with a friendship greeting and the words Love, Soar, Friend and Beautiful.  Here is my entry for the Heart 2 Heart challenge this week:


The bird is black embossed onto a piece of gold holographic gift bag paper (it was broken and I had to find another use for the pretty paper!) The ovals were made with the Coluzzle knife and template.  They are mounted onto Wings paper.  Soar was stamped in Black ink onto Twilight CS.

I also had fun playing with the Shoe stamp and a variety of colors:

The above card features Twilight, Hollyhock, Black and white cardstocks.  The greeting is stamped with Hollyhock ink and trimmed with an old Fiskars scissors called Bowtie.  Licorice Opaques Adhesive Gems adorn the shoe and paper.

In the next card, the shoe was stamped all over Sky CS with Pacifica Ink:



Pacifica, Pear and Holiday Red cardstocks were also used. Red sparkles adorn the shoes and horizontal trim.  Thanks for checking out my latest creations.  Feel free to leave comments. :)

Rosy Regards in Mojo Monday Challenge # 173

I am really enjoying Close To My Heart's new stamp set B1368 Rosy Regards.  This is the third challenge in 2 days that I've chosen to use it in!  It features 2 step stamping which really gives the card a nice dimensional look without having to color.  This is what is included in this new stamp set:


This week's Mojo Monday sketch looks like this:


My card was made with Juniper & Colonial White as the Cardstock bases.  I stamped the solid part of the rose with Blush Ink on Blush Cardstock and then stamped the outline stamp in Vineyard Berry Ink.  The leaves were outline stamped with New England Ivy ink onto New England Ivy cardstock.  The rose was placed over a Nestabilities diecut called Labels 4 and the edges were sponged with Vineyard Berry Ink.  The patterned paper is the new Creative Basics paper called Wings which will be available to customers starting on February 1. (One of the perks of being a consultant is getting the new products a month earlier!)  Maroon buttons with Cream Opaque adhesives were used as embellishments.  The word "Love" is from the January Stamp of the Month set called Find Your Style.  Liquid Glass was applied over the rose as the finishing touch.  Hope you like it!

Card Pattern Sketch Challenge 97 and H2H Color Challenge

Happy New Year Everyone!  The holidays were a very busy time for me and it feels good to getting back to creating.  I'm enjoying the new Close To My Heart stamps that I've just purchased.  The following card meets 2 challenges--Card Pattern Sketch Challenge 97 and the Heart to Heart Color Challenge also.  For the H2H challenge we were to use Sky, Pear and Colonial White with an accent of Sorbet if desired.























  
The stamp set is B1369 Rosy Regards which is featured in the January Inspirations brochure and in the new catalog.   All pieces were sponged with Sorbet Ink also. CTMH Glitz Glitter Gel gives the rose some additional sparkle.  The word "Love" is from the January Stamp of the Month D1452 Find Your Style.
Thanks for taking a look. I always enjoy reading your comments.
