Sunday Stamps #118 Meets Just Us Girls #327 and Inkspirational Challenges

The excessive snow this past weekend enabled me to explore several card challenges I probably wouldn't have had time to pursue.  My son is in the Navy and deployed right now so he will be receiving this card at some point.  My card combines elements from the following challenges: Sunday Stamps sketch #118, Just Us Girls #327 include an anchor challenge and Inkspirational Challenge to use a previous color scheme--#10 Shades of Green for me.

Here is a closeup of the anchor cut out of CTMH Sapphire paper and then embossed with Polysparkle Clear embossing powder to give it a sparkle.

Close to My Heart products used:

     White Daisy CS

     Peacock CS

     Glacier CS

     Artistry cartridge (Anchor cut and frame)

     Scalloped embossing folder

White Daisy and Whisper for Color Dare #130

Welcome back to another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge post!  This week we are challenging you to use just two colors:  White Daisy and Silver (or Whisper).  I decided to use the new Close to My Heart Scallop embossing folder to create my background.

How did I do this?  I applied Whisper ink pad directly to the folder and pressed down.  (I did NOT run it through the Cuttlebug machine).  As you can see I used both sides of the folder to create more interest.

Close to My Heart products used:

     Whisper CS

     White Daisy CS

     You Mean the World to me stamp

     Whisper Ink 

     White Daisy Ink to edge Whisper frame

     Sponge Dauber 

     3D Foam Tape

     Scallop Embossing Folder (from Seasonal Expressions catalog)

    

Other

     Silver Holographic Curling Ribbon

Now it's your turn to create using these colors.  

Head on over to the Color My Heart Color Dare blog and see what the rest of the fabulous Design Team has created.  Hope you can join us for this challenge.  Use a direct link to link up your papercrafted creation (it doesn't have to be a card).

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
