TRCC #14: Fiercely Fuchsia

Hi, all! Happy February! I am so excited for the upcoming Valentine holiday, and I think my card today will show that! This month's challenge is called Fiercely Fuchsia! I went for all shades of pink with roses being my inspiration. Take a peek at our beautiful inspiration for this month...

SO much inspiration there, don't you agree? I LOVE it! I used a Hampton Art layering stamp set to create my rose border. Here's what I came up with...

I chose to use two different colors of glitter paper from my stash for my base and to frame my focal panel. I used three colors of ink from The Stamps of Life and one from Stampin' Up! to stamp my roses. Some Diamond Stickles glitter add some shine, and enamel hearts and a doily from Doodlebug Design lend more to the romantic feel.

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!

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!

Hoppy Easter!

Happy Saturday, friends! I have a sweet Easter card to share with you today. It uses a DARLING digi image drawn by the very talented Lee Holland, and a bunch of sweet embellishments. Take a peek...

I colored the image with colored pencils and added some Stickles for added shine and texture. I also added some seam binding ribbon from The Stamps of Life, a doily, black pearls, string, and a button from my stash, and patterned paper from Stampin' Up!.

I just adore the way this turned out! What do YOU think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Hedgehog Wish

Hello again, friends! Thanks for stopping by today! I recently purchased some DARLING digital stamps from Lee Holland's Etsy Shop, and I took some time over this break to do some coloring and card making with them! Take a peek at today's offering...

I have to apologize for the mildly blurry photos. My camera is having issues and is driving me crazy. ;) I colored this darling hedgehog image using colored pencils, then added some Stickles for added texture and shine. The sentiment is by Paper Smooches. I punched it out and layered it with punches from Stampin' Up!, then added some bling!

The card was prepped with some patterned paper from Stampin' Up!, a doily from Doodlebug Designs, ribbon from The Stamps of Life, and a button and twine from my stash. I love the way this turned out, and I hope you do, too! I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

TRCC: Challenge #3: Yummy Yellow

Hello, friends, and welcome to March! Is everyone ready for a change in seasons? I can't wait! Thank you so much to everyone who played along last month at The Rainbow Card Challenge, and here is this month's prompt...

Now, we really just want to see creations with an abundance of yellow. You don't have to necessarily go with the "yummy" theme or use the photos as your guide. Mostly monochrome, if you understand my meaning. For all the details about the "rules" (there are very few), you can see the challenge post! This post is about the card I made, so take a peek...

I pulled out a Fiskars stamp set that I bought years ago to create this fresh and fruity card! I added some patterned paper from The Stamps of Life, ribbon from Stampin' Up!, and layered the focal image with various pieces, including a doily from Doodlebug. I LOVE all the fun and sunny yellows with fresh white polka dots!

You KNOW how I love me a good pun! This is why I kept this set--the amazing puns! My hubby said he really liked this card, so I actually used it as his Valentine last month. ;)

I think this card turned out so fresh and funky, and I hope you like it, too! I would LOVE for you to let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Please come and join us this month at The Rainbow Card Challenge! I LOVE seeing what everyone creates! 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!

TRCC: Challenge #1: Red Romance

Hello, friends, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you've had a wonderful and restful Christmas holiday and are looking forward to a beautiful and positive 2019! Last year was a bit of a struggle for me, personally, but I am back to blogging and SO excited to be posting my first creation for the *BRAND NEW* challenge I've started with my good friend, Jacqueline! It's called The Rainbow Card Challenge, and here is our first prompt...

Now, we really just want to see creations with an abundance of red. You don't have to necessarily go with the "romance" theme or use the photos as your guide. Mostly monochrome, if you understand my meaning. For all the details about the "rules" (there are very few), you can see the challenge post! This post is about the card I made, so take a peek...

I got out two fun sets from Close to My Heart from my stash (one currently on sale, one retired) for this card. The falling heart background is one stamp (on sale!), and the focal image and sentiment are from another. I used a variety of red materials to layer the focal heart, and backed it with some fun red washi tapes. Some black liquid pearls help to tie the sentiment to the image.

The sentiment was layered onto a red stamped image, then gone over with a glaze gel pen by Sakura for extra bling! I LOVE these fun brush stroke stamps and the sweet rhinestones that add more texture and shine!

I totally adore the way this creation turned out, and I hope you like it, too! I would LOVE for you to let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
