Mid Month Challenge Reminder

Happy Friday All!

I hope you all have had a great week and are ready for the weekend.  I know I am.  Robin here.  I wanted to remind you of the Great Impressions May Challenge.  The challenge is "Feminine" and this is the card I made for the challenge.

For the background paper I stamped The Rose (J106) all the way down the paper and embossed it.  Then I used some distress inks.  The stamp I wanted to make the main focus is Birds and Roses (G111).  I also used embossing for this one then colored with my Copics.  I used some Glastique to give strength to the branches and some leaves then did a fussy cut after it dried.

I thought this stamp should be framed but I didn't have any frame dies so I used this die and cut out the center. Using a neutral color made the stamp just pop out plus I did pop it up.  I put it on the base and added a bow and some of what I like to call flower seeds.  I actually cut it off some silk floral arrangements I bought.

Thanks to all of you who have entered the challenge so far and I'm hoping to see so many more of you enter.  This is the prize you can win.

What a great stamp for Father's Day!

I'm so happy you stopped by and have a blessed day!

Hugs,

Robin

Hello Goodbye...

Hi, all!  I'm back today to share my last card using stamps from Great Impressions for the Great Impressions design team.  I went shabby and sweet...or should I say tweet?  Take a peek...

I started by stamping and coloring G111 Roses and Birds with colored pencils. I stamped my sentiment, B152 Hello Friend, onto vellum, then stapled it to the image panel.  A few pearls accent the sentiment vellum for a bit more elegance.

I added this panel to a card base prepped with some patterned paper, a doily, and some pink seam binding ribbon.  I think this turned out beautifully, and I hope you agree!  Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

That's all for me today, friends.  THANK YOU so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card!  I want to say another HUGE "thank you" to Deone and the gals here at Great Impressions!  I have been on this team for a few years now, and stepping down is difficult.  I need to take a step back so that I can finish my degree, and I'm grateful that they have been understanding of that.  I hope to see you all around blog land soon, but until then, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

Baby

Hello! Today I have a sweet baby card for you.

I like to pair non-traditional images with sentiments that fit for baby cards. Here I used (G111) Birds and Roses. I colored the image with Copics and used a die to add the word baby.
