Hello Friend, Feeling Sentimental - Sunny Challenges & Creations SC 73/13

I am so excited and thrilled to be a guest designer with Sunny Challenges & Creations this week.
Here is the card I made using the sketch challenge provided  as well as something from Sale-a-bration (SAB).

The base card is Rich Razzelberry, layered with Whisper White, and then 2 of the designer paper from Sycamore Street (SAB).  I put a white stitched ribbon, which I coloured with Rich Razzelberry, over the seam and made a bow to put at the bottom of the focal image panel.
The image was stamped with Rich Razzelberry ink on Whisper White paper and matted with Rich Razzellberry card stock.
All edges were sponged with Rich Razzelberry ink.

Inks: Rich Razzelberry
Papers: Rich Razzelberry, Whisper White, Sycamore Street DSP (SAB)
Accessories: 1/4" white stitched ribbon colored with Rich Razzelberry ink, buttons (SAB), rhinestones, dimensioals, glue dots

Papillon Potpourri Birthday - Sunny Challenges & Creations

There is no sketch at Sunny Challenges & Creations here  just the topic - birthday.  So, I made a birthday card as I have 3 birthdays next month.

Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, A Word for You
Inks: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Black Stazon
Papers: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Accessories: Brocade folder, Scallop trim border punch, Elegant butterfly punch, rhinestones

The butterflies were stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink onto Whisper White cardstock and the 2 larger ones punched with the Elegant butterfly punch.  The smaller one had to be cut by hand.  They were attached to the Whisper White panel with tombo glue, and rhinestones applied to their bodies.

The base card is Cherry Cobbler layered with Crumb Cake embossed with the Brocade folder which was sponged with Whisper White ink.

Christmas in Black and White - Sunny Challenges #58/12

Making a card in black and white only was definitely a challenge for me.  But that, along with a sketch challenge was the additional challenge with Sunny Challenges here 
I had to let the idea sit with me for a couple of days before I finally decided on a card.  Hope you like it.

 

Technique:  The base card is Basic Black layered with Whisper White which was embossed with the starburst embossing folder and then embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder.

The designer paper is from the neutrals paper pack.

The focal image was embossed with white embossing powder on black card stock.  If you look carefully you can see tiny pearls along the outside of the snowflake and in the middle.  The black cardstock was matted with white card stock and sponged slightly with black ink so that it would stand out againt the white embossed layer.  I also took the image and tilted it at an angle.

The bow had a white button tied around it with White Baker's Twine - basically to hide the white dots which is what is on the other side of the ribbon (and  I didn't want to show)

Stamps: Snowflake Soiree, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Inks: Versamark, Basic Black

Papers: Basic Black, Whisper White, Black designer paper

Accessories: Starburst embossing folder, Iridescent Ice embossing powder, White embossing powder, Pearls, 3/8" basic black scalloped dotted ribbon, Modern Word Label punch, White button, white baker's twine, dimensionals, glue dots.

Sending Christmas Wishes - Sunny Challenges & Creations

This is the first time I have done a challenge with Sunny Challenges and Creations here  but the challenge is dear to my heart as I am getting ready for craft shows.  The challenge is to use the sketch with a Christmas theme.
Here is my card:

 

Technique:

The base of the card is Gumball Green card stock, which is layered with Whisper White , the edges of which are sponged with Gumball Green ink.  The Designer paper is Be of Good Cheer, which I embossed with the Snowflurries folder, then added dazzling diamonds to the center of the flakes.

A piece of 3/8" stitched Gumball green ribbon was placed about 1 1/4" from the bottom edge of the designer paper.

Image: The snowman image was stamped with Black Stazon on Whisper White, and colored with watercolor pencils blending with odorless paint thinner.  Dazzling diamonds created a bit of sparkle around the snowman's body and under his feet.  After sponging all the edges with Cherry Cobbler ink, the image panel was matted with Cherry Cobbler card stock. The bottom portion was punched with the scallop border punch, and the scallops pricked with the paper pricker.  This panel was attached to the designer paper with dimensionals.

Sentiment:  The sentiment, from Joyous Celebration, was stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink on Whisper White card stock.  It was punched with a small oval punch, the edges inked with Cherry Cobbler, and then layered on top of a 1" DSP circle, and then on a 1 3/4 by 7/8" cherry cobbler oval punch. A rhinestone was placed at either end of the oval. I lowered the sentiment unit as indicated on the placement on the sketch so as not to obscure the embossed snowflake on the designer paper.

Stamps: Snow Much Fun, Joyous Celebration

Inks: Black Stazon, Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Watercolor pencils

Papers: Gumball Green, Whisper White, Be of Good cheer designer paper, cherry cobbler

Accessories: Snowfurries folder, Small oval punch, 1 3/4 by 7/8" oval punch, 1" circle punch, Scallop edge punch, Mat pack & paper piercer, dazzling diamonds, 3/8" Gumball green stitched satin ribbon, rhinestones, dimensionals, Odorless paint thinner & stubbies (non SU)
