3D Embellishment

This card is a response to the 3D117 challenge on Papercraft Planet here: http://papercraftplanet.net/2011/06/07/3d117-challenge-creating-3d-stamped-embellishments/

The cs is SU Regal Rose, the embossing envelope is SU Manhattan Flower and the butterfly is the same one used on the Solitaire Mysterious Butterfly card in a previous post. It's made by Stamps Happen. I colored it with Sparkling H2Os. The face on the butterfly's wings makes it one of my favorite stamps.
I think I'll get out more buttefly stamps for more of these 3D embellishments; they offer so many possibilities!

Mystery and Illusion

I made this ATC for the CS Designs challenge, Mystery of Imagination, on Papercraft Planet, here: http://www.cs-designs.blogspot.com/
The butterfly stamp is a favorite, and the masked face beneath it is a CSDesigns digi stamp, Solitaire, Mysterious Butterfly. The sentiment is also a CSD digi stamp. Solitaire is colored with Sparkling H2Os.

Balloons, Balloons!

The stamp and cs on this card are from the Gina K Stamp TV set, Vintage Chic. I used Gina K's card--video how-to here: http://stamptv.ning.com/ to inspire my version. The ink is SU Lovely Lilac. The designer bg was originally white and black; I used the direct to paper technique with SU Lovely Lilac to color it. I didn't have the Sakura Stardust pens Gina sparkled her image with, so I used glue and glitter for the white part of the dress and balloons.

The second card is an ATC. I used the same Vintage Chic image, with the same colors as the House Mouse beach card in the previous post.

Have a great day, and happy crafting!

Two Challenges with One Card

This card answers the CST Weekly Challenge #4 to use these colors or an aproximation of them: Regal Rose, Wild Wasabi, Tempting Turquoise, Early Espresso, and white.  

It also fits the "Make a summer card" challenge on the Creative Cuttlebuggers site. To me, a lake, the St. Lawrence River or the sea are perfect places for a summer vacation. 

The stamp is House Mouse Catchin' the Rays.

These cards were made with the Acrylic Emboss technique, from Technique Junkies' "Emboss or Die CD",  which can be purchased here: http://www.techniquejunkies.com/
