TRCC #13: Wonderfully White

Hi, all! Happy New Year 2020! I cannot believe it's been an entire year since I started The Rainbow Card Challenge! It has been such a fun ride, and I am so grateful for all of your support! This month's challenge is called Wonderfully White! Take a peek at our fun inspiration...

Isn't that so wintry and soft? I adore it! I chose to use some of my favorite images/elements for this card. I LOVE butterflies, and think they are perfect for a New Year's card--they do represent beginning over, after all! Here's what I came up with...

I chose to use a patterned paper from my stash for my base. I used more white paper and some shimmering white pearl paper as the base of the focal point. The butterfly punches are from EK Success, the white glitter accents and doily are from Doodlebug Design, and the ribbon is from The Stamps of Life. The sentiment is from an Avery Elle set called Magnolias.

I totally love how this card turned out! The layering with a shabby chic feel is one of my favorite styles! I would love to hear your opinion about it in the comments below!

If you're looking for even more inspiration, you should take a peek at what the other amazingly talented gals on the design team have created, too!

MHKDesigns: January Challenge + Framed Favorites Release!

Hello and Happy New Year, everyone! I hope your year is prosperous and full of success and peace! I'm here today to share a card for this month's challenge at MHKDesigns. I've revamped how my Etsy shop will be running this year, so our challenge posts will ALSO include a monthly release set! This month's set is called...

Framed Favorites!

And here is our challenge inspiration:

I decided to go shabby chic with my creation. I did a lot of layering and had tons of fun making this card! Take a peek...

I used Photoshop to create my panel before printing it out multiple times. The wreath and sentiment are from the Framed Favorites digital stamp set, the feathers are from the Fanciful Feathers digital stamp set, and the flowers are from the Get Well Flowers digital stamp set.

I added some cheesecloth, twine, jewels, and pins to add more texture to the focal panel. The sentiment was die cut and matted with dark brown. The panel was matted with the same color. I love the way this turned out, and I hope you do, too! I can't wait to hear your comments below!

Inspired By Stamping: You Are Amazing

Hi, friends!  It's time again for me to share another creation made using fabulous products from Inspired By Stamping!  I used some gorgeous papers, ribbon, and stamps from the newest release for this creation.  Take a peek...

I used a piece of paper from the Spring Lilacs paper pack and stamped the sentiment, using stamps from the You Are set, in a deep purple ink.  I added some ribbon from the Purple Ribbon Collection and added some faux stitching for more texture.  A few rhinestones finished off the focal panel.

The card base was gussied up with more paper from the Spring Lilac paper pad and some cheesecloth.  I used the same deep purple cardstock to mat all the different panels on my card before adding them to a kraft base.  I really love the way this turned out, and I hope you do, too!  I would love for you to let me know what you think in the comments below!

Hello, everyone!  Today is the blog hop for the April 2016 Kennedy Grace Creations release, and I have a soft and shabby chic sympathy card to share with you!  Take a peek...

This card uses beautiful stamps from the *NEW* Grace's Little Notes stamp set.  I stamped the floral border twice to create a frame, then added the sentiment.  I colored the flowers with Spectrum Noir markers, then added a few sequins from the *NEW* Honeybee sequin mix.

I added my stamped panel onto a card base that was prepped with some pretty patterned paper, a doily, ribbon trim, and more sequins from the *NEW* Honeybee sequin mix.  I think this turned out really well, and I hope you agree.  Please leave a comment below to let me know what you think!

Sweetheart Fairy

Hello again, friends!  I have been trying to make some changes in my life, and one of those changes was to spend a bit of time over my holiday break from school to craft "just because".  Well, I took a bit of time this afternoon to do just that!  I've made a sweet Valentine card to share with you, using a darling image from A Day For Daisies.  Come and see...

I colored this darling image, Love Angel, with Spectrum Noir markers, then gave her some sparkle with Stickles.  She is SO sweet, don't you think?!

The sentiment is a stamp from a monthly card kit by The Stamps of Life.  I thought the font and circular shape would go very well with my rounded corner theme.  I surrounded it with some punched leaves, also blinged up with some Stickles.

All of my elements were layered onto a card base that was gussied up with some pink polka dot patterned paper from the Egg-cellent Easter pack from MHKDesigns, as well as a few different patterns from my stash.  I really adore this fun card!  I hope you like it, too!  Please do leave me a comment below to let me know what you think! :)
