Momenta Intricate Flower Mat GIVEAWAY!

Hi and thanks for stopping by! Today I'm sharing two cards made with the Momenta Intricate Flower Matt die and NEW Ombre Ink Pads. You can find Momenta at your local craft store like Hobby Lobby or on line at stores like Scrapbook.com.

When I started crafting I found the different types of ink pads very confusing. One you start experimenting with different types it all comes together. The new OMBRE ink pads are pigment inks - that means that the ink is thick and excellent for coverage on solid stamps. The ink sits on top of the paper (meaning it doesn't soak in like a dye ink) making it perfect for stamping on colored papers.

I thought it would be fun to make my own pattern paper with the striped OMBRE ink pads. I simply swiped the ink pads on white card stock to make perfectly blended striped OMBRE panels. 

I topped the blue panel with the Intricate Flowers die cut so that the pretty paper peeks between the die cut openings. For my second I cut the colorful inked panel in pink and orange with the Intricate Floral die cut. 

I added some half pearls to both of the cards for a bit of bling.

I didn't want to cover up the pretty background so a simple sentiment was best. I stamped "thank you" from the Your Invited stamp and emboss set on a banner from the Pineapple die cut set. I love the stitching along the edges of the banner. 

I've got some happy news too! I have THREE of these panels to give away!

Glad I don’t have to choose which one I like better, because they each have their own identity. The results are totally different and not only in color. Love them both, a Jeanne! Thanks for the chance to win that gorgeous plate!

Pretty Little Studio Warm Winter Wishes

Hi Friends! I hope you're having a great day! The weather out side has been cold and snowy so I'm staying inside keeping warm. My go to collection for Christmas and Winter cards has been the beautiful Pretty Little Studio Glitter and Ice Collection.

I created a snowy landscape background with pretty papers from the collection hand cut in waves. Next I layered on die Fir Trees perfectly inked to match the papers and other accessories in the collection. 

The Winter Wonderland sentiment is from the Happy Season die cut pack. I tucked a little flag in bold coral from Warm Wishes Tags under the sentiment to keep it from fading into the background.

I think the sun in the sky captures the crisp stillness of a sunny winter day. The sun is a black stripe circle die cut from the Merry Labels die cut pack topped with a snowflake flair from the Holly Jolly 6-pack.

I hope you're staying warm and making the most of these quiet winter days!

Fusion Card Challenge - Sunflower Get Well and A Sale!

Hi Friends! Are you looking for a challenge to play? That's my go to on a cold winter day when I can't go outside. It's my sweet escape and a fun way to express myself. 

Fusion is unique because there are actually three ways to play! You can work off the photo inspiration, the sketch inspiration, or a fusion of both. I'll be honest.. I'm always drawn to the photo inspiration and the little guy - is he a chipmunk or a prairie dog? smelling on that big yellow bloom made my heart happy! 

I colored the Pretty Pink Posh Sunflowers with Copic Markers in yummy shades of yellow and gold.

The little raccoon is from the new Party Friends stamp set. I wanted to make a get well card so I used a sentiment from the Animal Signs Set. The little raccoon is sitting on a tree stump from the Woodland Critters stamp set. 

If you look close you will notice that I cut the distress ink background with a double stitched rectangle panel cut from the Stitched Notes die cut set that includes some tags and a corner cut too!

Now it's your turn! Are you ready to play? I wonder how you will interpret the photo! Maybe you need a little more inspiration? Check out designs from the rest of the team. Just click on their names below to jump to their blogs.
