All Kinds of Awesome!

Hi, everyone!  Hope you've been having a fabulous week so far!  I'm back today to share a fun card using the *NEW* pallette4mirror stamp from The Stamps of Life, using a FUN technique!  Take a peek...

I started by inking the pallette4mirror with Banana ink, then used the flowers2diefor set to "stamp" the flowers.  I just stamped the flowers directly onto the panel--without ink on the flowers.  You can also ink the other image first.  To see what that would look like, see my card HERE.  I cut the panel down and added a sentiment and some other embellishments.

I then just layered that panel onto a card base, and voila!  I think this turned out super fun--the colors are so bright and summery!  I hope you like it, too!  Please leave me a comment below to let me know what you think!

I'm entering this card into these fabulous challenges~

52 CCT Theme Challenge #2

Welcome back for another fabulous 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown challenge! This week, our theme has been chosen by the lovely Jacqueline and that theme is Angels.

Here's some inspiration for ya~

And here's my first card and detail~

This card also is a sneak peek into next week's challenge. You'll have to come back again in 7 days to see what that will be! ;) I was going for vintage--and these epoxy stickers were the perfect thing!!!

Second card and detail~

This one was fun--I created my patterned panel with patterned paper and stamped brown snowflakes. The panel behind the angel is stamped onto vellum, and the angel has detailed embosses with kaleidoscope embossing powder. I think this one turned out so lovely!

I simply cannot wait to see what you all come up with! And if you need some more inspiration, or just want to see some stunning cards, pop on over and see Jacqueline! Merry stamping!!!
