July CyberStamp - challenge 3

OMG what a mission :P ... At last I finally worked my card out for challenge 3.

This is my first attempt so it's a little  "wonky"  I'm afraid but at least it come up ok, I mean I like how it turned out for my first try at Dahlia Fold.   But I will have to practice this one I think :)

With this card I've used Groovy Guava, Wild Wasabi and Whisper White cardstocks.

Inks used are Groovy Guava and Wild Wasabi.  The Designer Series Paper I've used is from the Secret Garden Simply Scrappin' Kit also from Stampin' Up!.

I embossed the base white card stock with my Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and attached it to my Wild Wasabi card.

Then I layered the smaller squares with the Whisper White cardstock between them to make it all "pop".... plus,  I've inked all the edges of the cardstock just to add a little more pop to them also.

I've used mounting tape to raise the  "Dahlia"  up off the rest of the card so that it catch the eye.. or at least this is what I am hoping  :P

Ribbons used are Wild Wasabi and Groovy Guava.

Then I stuck one of a pearly accents
from our  "Pretties Kit" in the centre of the Dahlia on using Stampin' Dimensionals.

 The sentiment I've used is from our new Mini catty and it's called  "Always".

Ok Alisa, I know I told you I LOVE challenges....well this was a huge challenge but I made it!  Thanks again for all your challenges as I look forward to doing more and more!  :)

July CyberStamp - challenge 2

Ok, challenge No/-2  is...

  Using Versamark.

Here's what I came up with for this card.  (sorry if pics not good, taken at night)

  (click pictures to see larger view)

                

I've used Groovy Guava,  Purely Pomegranate, Basic Black and Glossy White cardstocks.

Groovy Guava  &  Purely Pomegranate  Double-Stitched Ribbons and Hodgepodge Hardware with 2 gold Brads to hold it onto the ribbon.

I using another set from our New Mini catty called "Always" and using Versamark I stamped the images and then used Black Embossing powder on them, used heat tool... then clear over that again and repeated heat tool.

Then I've use my trusty "Brayer" and rolled it on my Groovy Guava ink and then on to the Purely Pomegranate ink and rolled it over the glossy cardstock and the embossed images and this is called "Emboss Resist".

I used Slit Punch on corners of cardstock and mounted them on top of one another and then adhered them to my card front.

As I said, pics were taken at night so it's a little hard to see embossing on the glossy cardstock but it really looks affective against the brayed background.

Oh and now the hardest one of all... I have to learn how to do the Dahlia Fold for No/-3 challenge!

I'll be back with this one when I figger it out...

July CyberStamp - challenge 1

 

   Wednesday night we had our usual monthly cyberstamp on Alisa's forum. Alisa always manages to come up with 3 cool challenges. Last night she did it again! . The first challenge was more challenging for me as I really had to rack my brain to work something out to do with it.

Challenge No/1 was...

Limited Supplies ----> (these always stump me)

We are to create a Card or Layout using only the following:-
1 Stamp Set
2 Colours
Plus 1 Neutral Colour
1 Embellishment (such as Ribbon, Hardware, Brads, etc)

the problem was....1 Embellishment... it's hard to just choose 1!  Which meant I had to really think hard and long about how to do this challenge... this is the card that I created and I hope Alisa likes it.

  I've used one of the New Mini catalogue stamp sets called “A Beautiful Thing”. I used River Rock & Apricot Appeal inks and cardstocks. The sentiment I inked using the River Rock ink and 3D mounted it in some Apricot Appeal & River Rock cardstock. I then used my Scallop Punch to punch out a scalloped circle using Apricot Appeal cardstock. I used another stamp from the “A Beautiful Thing” stamp set and stamped it on Whisper White cardstock using River Rock ink then cut it out using my 1” circle punch. I stamped one of the stamps over both the Apricot Appeal & Whisper White cardstocks to give a background affect... and the 1 EMBELLISHMENT,  I placed a Rhinestone Brad from the Ice set code=109111.

    The other 2 challenges I'm still figgering out, one is easy as it will be done using Versamark (water mark) Ink... there's a lot you can do using Versamark ink! The other challenge is it to make a Flower using the Dahlia fold...which is like the little teabag folding technique, which I have never tried before. I will be working on those last 2 challenges today.

Wish me luck!
