Sentiments are the bomb

Good morning, We are covered in snow and temps are below freezing so staying inside to keep warm, what better excuse for hiding away in my craft room!

There is a new challenge starting over at Arty Divas and the sponsor this challenge are a great stamp company, The Project Bin.
I have a whole set on sentiments to use so I decided to make 2 cards:

 

What I did:

For the first card I used a 4.25 x 5.5in card base and matted it with some bright yellow design paper. I then used a sunburst die to cut the sun and it's rays.I placed a gem in the center of this for extra shine! I then stamped the Project Bin sentiment on white card and matted this with the same yellow I had used for my sun burst. This was the placed on foam tape to give dimension.

The second card was also a 4.25 x 5.5in white card base which I matted in purple. I then cut a 1.5in strip of vellum and stamped the sentiment using embossing ink. I then heat embossed using dark purple embossing powder. This was the wrapped around some floral design paper. I didn't have gems in the correct purple so i colored the ones used with an alcohol marker.

Junk Journal Card

Good Morning, we still have plenty of snow but it's not impacting on our days which is a bonus.

It's new challenge day over at Arty Divas and we have a fabulous sponsor this time Vectoria Designs among lots of other things they do digital junk journals and I was challenged this time to design using their Botanical Junk Journal. I don't journal in my craft life so I decided I would challenge myself to make a card using the kit.

What I Did:

I started with the tags, I cut one out as a whole and then used 4 more to cut different parts of the flowers and butterflies out. I  made a 5x7in card base from white card and matted this red card, drawing the colors from the tag flowers. I then reduced the size of one of the journal pages, printed it and used this as my design paper. I matted the remaining tag and adhered this to my card. I then used glue gel to layer the tiny flower and butterfly pieces on to this giving the card dimension.

I die cut thanks 3 times from the red card and stacked these on top of one another before adhering in place on my card.

I had extra butterflies left so I again cut these in layers stacked them with gel glue and added above my sentiment

What I Used:

Digital elements: Botanical Junk Journal

Neenah bright white card - for printing the images

Core'dinations premium white cardstock

Core'dinations red cardstock

Collal all purpose glue

Collal glue gel

Hero Arts thanks die
