Great Impressions: Monthly Challenge

Hi, friends!  Happy May! :)  I know I've already said that, but I just love May (it's my birthday month!).  It's time for another new monthly challenge over at the Great Impressions Blog and this month we are asking you to USE ONE OF THE TUTORIALS ON THE GREAT IMPRESSIONS BLOG to create something new and exciting!  If you use Great Impressions stamps, please link your creation up in the challenge AND in our customer gallery! :)

Here's my card~

(I've used the frosted images technique.)

Detail~

Product used: G214 Wildflowers.

I had a super hard time getting a good picture of the frosted feel of the image because the paper I used is so shiny and textured. :(  It is such a fun and easy technique, though!  And it's perfect for images like this one!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you like my card and that you join in our fun challenge this month on the Great Impressions blog!  And don't forget to leave some love with the other amazing gals on this very talented DT as well!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!

A small change and three cards

Hi, friends!  Since I'm a little bit busy with things at the moment, I've decided to scale back on how many pictures I show of each card.  The new number is one.  I will only show one picture of each card.  Oh, and a picture of any insides that are crafted, too.  This way, I won't spend my whole day editing photos!  With that said, I've got 3 cards to share with you!

Card 1~

For these fabulous challenges~

LIM: Humor

Perfect Sentiment: Make 'em Laugh

Artistic Impressions: Paper Piercing/Piecing

(I've paper pieced the banana peel.)

I've used a stamp image by Fiskars Fresh Fruit set, a sentiment by Hero Arts, patterned paper by K & Company, liquid pearls by Ranger, and all other supplies are by Stampin' Up!.

Card 2~

For these fabulous challenges~

Creative Belli: Flowers

Divas by Design: Tie a Ribbon

Word Art Wednesday: Inspirational Sentiment

I used an OLD stamp set by Stampin' Up! for my flower images, a scattering of rhinestones by Studio G that had been forgotten in my stash, ribbon also found at the bottom of my ribbon basket, a sentiment by Hero Arts, and all other supplies are by Stampin' Up!.

Card 3~

For these fabulous challenges~

CAS-ual Fridays: Red, White, & Blue

Card Mania Challenges: Spots and/or Stripes

The Pink Elephant: Stars and Stripes

I've used the Washi Tape set by Inspired By Stamping, a sentiment by Hero Arts, rhinestones, brads, and vellum from my stash, and all other supplies are by Stampin' Up!.  This card is going to be going to Operation Write Home.  I've decided that I need to make at least 5 cards a week and write them to our heroes overseas.  Hopefully I get a box done by the end of the year!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek!  Hopefully I'll get to share oodles of cards now I've revamped my photo requirements for myself! ;)  I hope you join in the fun at these fun challenges, too!  HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)
