Punchy the Bunny with Bling

Well, I just couldn't resist doing

another card for this week's

Perfect Sentiment's challenge.

You can see it here on the

Perfect Sentiments Challenge blog.

My first creation gave me my second
Easter card that was glittery and blingy.

But I have 3 very special girls in

my world that deserve some

sparkly Easter wishes.

So here is my second card

that I am entering into the Perfect

Sentiments Challenge for this week.

Punchy the Bunny with Bling

My card base is barely banana, with

a diamond patterned DP layer.

I cut a strip of certainly celery with

my Creative Memories wavy

blade cutter, then covered it in

versamark, heat and stick powder,

then a green SU glitter.

Punchy the Bunny got his name

since he was created using punches.

He consists of a variety of oval, circle,

and heart punches.

The white ovals were covered

with versamark, heat and stick powder,

and iridescent ice embossing powder.

The "cheek" circles were sponged

with pink pirouette ink around

the edges first.

The pink punch-outs are done

with shimmery pink paper.

And the googlie eyes finished

Punchy off.

The basket was made using the

round label punch and oval punches.

It is certainly celery, stamped

with the linen BG stamp with certainly

celery ink.

The eggs are a variety of

pearls, formed in a dimensional

look. A daffodil delight bow on the

front finished the basket.

The sentiment is from the

SU A Good Egg stamp set.

It is stamped in memento tuxedo

black ink onto vellum cardstock,

then layered over lavender lace,

both punched with the 5 petal punch.

I used the flower trio punch

on barely banana cardstock, then

used more pearls in the centers

to embellish my sentiment flower.

I hope my oldest niece enjoys it.

PSC26: Easter Bling

This week's challenge at the Perfect Sentiments

is an Easter card with some bling.

You can find it here on the

Perfect Sentiment blog

So here is my Easter Bling

The card base is melon mambo,

with the edges versamarked and

embossed with iridescent ice powder.

I used the Top Note Sizzix die on

lavender lace for an extra layer.

I stamped this unknown image in

memento tuxedo black ink onto

whisper white, used a partial

layer of barely banana,

using the distressing tool on both.

Hodgepodge hardware is

used to accent.

I colored my image with markers.

I used the versamarker over

the tulips, and embossed

them with iridescent ice powder.

I stamped the Easter sentiment from

Su's Well Scripted stamp set

in melon mambo ink onto

whisper white, cut it out, then

applied versamark directly to its

entirety, then embossed it with

iridescent ice powder.

I finished my card off with multiple

pieces of bling.

I'm thinking my sweet little

niece is getting this one for her

first Easter. :)



Teapot Tuesday Think Pink

This week's Teapot Challenge is a card

using black, silver, & pink

for Alix. You can read the story

here.

Here is my creation.

I used basic black for my card base,

stamping the Crosshatch BG in silver

encore ink. I used the Top Note

Sizzix die on brushed silver,

and used half of it for a layer.

The pink strip is a shimmery pink

paper that I fell in love with.

This strip has black grosgain

ribbon and silver cord tied around

it in a knot.

The dog image is from SU's Canine

Capers stamp set, and is actually

1 of numerous dogs on the image.

I inked it with a basic black

marker to be able to just get the

one dog, onto shimmer white

cardstock.

The edges are sponged with

pink pirouette ink, then layered on

brushed silver and basic black.

The sentiment is from SU's Just So

Sayings stamp set, and is stamped in

Memento tuxedo black ink.

I finished it off with some black bling.



PSC25 Uplifting Sketch

Last week's Perfect Sentiments challenge

was a sketch with an uplifting sentiment.

You can see it at The Perfect Sentiment 's blog .

Here is my creation with this sketch.

I used a pastel glimmery pink paper for my

card base, a layer of textured/glimmered

darker rose for a background strip, as well

as a sparkly DP for a vertical strip.

Very vanilla cardstock was used for

the top rectangle layer,

as well as the wide oval punch-out

for the sentiment..

I used the Creative Memories paisly

punch for the trio of accents in the same

pink and darker rose papers, with

SU's satin white ribbon for a bow.

I also used my heat gun on my ribbon

tales to create a soft, wavy look.

I used an SU punch on the pink paper

to use behind my sentiment oval.

The sentiment is a Studio G clear

stamp, inked with rose romance ink.

I sponged a lot of edges with the rose

romance ink as well.
I also used the rose romance
marker to mimmick the border
design from the paisly punch
to outline the sentiment oval.

More Challenges

I've been playing again. :)

I decided since I did last week's Perfect

Sentiments challenge on the last day,

that I would do this week's challenge

on the first day.

This week's Perfect Sentiments challenge

is distressed thank yous.

Distressed is not in my comfort

zone.  But I dug in.

This is my card I am submitting

for the challenge.

The card base is crumb cake.

I used 2 DP patterns to form

a card front. The one on the left

had the distressing tool taken to its

edges. I used the early espresso

ink pad to add some color

to the distressed edges (with a sponge)

as well as the design area.

I added early espresso ink to flowers from

Accents & Elements, and added them

to the DP on the right,

with a pearl in the center of each.

The sentiment is from SU's Because I

Care stamp set, and is stamped in

early espresso ink onto very vanilla

cardstock. I applied early espresso

ink to it with a sponge, and used

the distressing tool on the edges, and

mounted it onto early espresso cardstock.

I used linen thread in a button from

Button Bouquet to add to the

sentiment. Linen thread also

runs across the left section of DP.

This was actually my 2nd attempt

at this challenge. Like I said, the distressed

look isn't in my comfort zone. So I eased

into it. LOL

Here was my first card.

As you can see, I stuck with the basic

idea that I came up with.

The recipe for this card was basically

the same as the final creation,

minus the early espresso ink added directly

to the DP and the flowers, and also

the extra linen thread across the DP.

This is really my normal limit to "distressing."

CC367

This week's color challenge is chocolate

chip, baja breeze, and river rock.

Here is my creation.

The card base is chocolate chip.

I used SU's Crosshatch BG stamp

in chocolate chip ink onto

river rock textured cardstock.

The main image is from SU's

Friendship Blooms stamp set and is

in chocolate chip ink on river rock

cardstock. I used a designer

brad in the center of the flower, and

mounted the top layer onto

baja breeze. The accent flower is

also out of baja breeze. All the

faux stitching is done with the chocolate

chip marker.

Baja breeze wide stitched ribbon

finished off my creation.
