ScrapyLand Challenge #86

 
Good morning everyone it's time for a new Scrapy Land Challenge  The theme is always ANYTHING GOES using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.  In addition, we have TWO WINNERS for each challenge.  One will be a random winner and the other is chosen by the Design Team.  Each winner will receive a generous $10 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.
 

Let me show you how my Easter card came together!  To start the card base I used the pretty border die from Crafter's Companion .  You can find similar border dies Here.   Using the 3d embossing folder from Crafter's Companion along with Nuvo Mousse the background layer was created.  I love using the mousse and this embossing folder!  I did place small drops of Dandelion Crystal drops on the small flowers.





My lily panel was then die cut using heavy weight cardstock using the Easter Lilies Window die.  By using the heavy cardstock the die did not cut all the way through.  By doing this I was able to color the lilies using Nuvo Glitter Markers.  The glitter markers gave the lilies a beautiful sparkle shimmer.  I then cut around the outside of the die.  A second die was cut using black cardstock.  This was placed on top of the white cardstock using spray adhesive.
 

 
The butterfly was die cut using Elizabeth Craft Design die.  I used the tutorial from Elizabeth Craft Design to create my glittery butterfly along with Sparkle N Sprinkle glitter.

Using the Tonic Studios Window Box Die Set I created a St. Patrick's Day Card.  This a really pretty die for a 3d type projects.  The clover was made using Spellbinder's Heart dies.  I die cut 6 hearts and placed 3 on top of the bottom 3 to give a little more dimension to the clover.  A small pearl and ribbon was added.  The background paper was embossed using the 3d embossing folder from Crafter's Companion.  Small drops of Honey Gold Glitter drops were placed on the embossing.  For the front panels the background layer was die cut using sticker paper.  The top layer was placed on top of the sticker paper and they remaining openings were glittered using Waterfall glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Happy Birthday Stained Glass Card

 
 
Good morning all, hope you are having a great week!!  Just wanted to let you know you still have time to join us over at Scrapy Land for the Challenge #84.  Be sure to link up your project to have a chance to win!!   I would like to share a 2nd card I made with the beautiful  Sue Wilson Designs Stained Glass Collections - Sail Boat die.  I just love this die!!
 
             
To create the colorful background I used Ken Oliver Color Burst Powders, watercolor paper and water. 
 
 
These colors are so vibrant!!  Once the background was dry, adhesive was added to the entire background paper using spray adhesive.  The die cut sail boat was placed on top of the sticky background paper.  To complete the card Sparkling Snow glitter was sprinkled on top of the open areas and burnished with my finger.  This gave the finished project a pretty sparkle.
 
 
The shells were stamped using Sparkle N Sprinkle's Tropical Stamp Set. 
 
Thanks so much for stopping by have a wonderful weekend and remember.....Keep Stamping!!
