Heart 2 Heart 1-2-3 Challenge

This week at the Heart 2 Heart challenge blog, we had a 1-2-3 challenge...that is use 1 stamp, 2 patterened papers and 3 embellies!
I used the (1)Card Word Puzzle for my stamp, (2)Pemberly paper, and for my (3)embellies I used Bakers twine, Garden color ready wood shapes and a clear sparkle. Nice and simple but all of my favorites from the new catalogue!
 I colored my flower with my blending pen and Twilight ink. After, I used my white daisy marker to add some highlights. Finally, I added Prisma Glitter to the flower and dragonfly. I also inked my dragonfly with a sponge dabber.

This week, I altered a couple of CTMH card boxes.
I used the Roxy paper pack and the color ready CORK alphabet.

Heart 2 Heart Inspiration Challange

For this weeks Heart 2 Heart challenge, we had to use this picture for inspiration while creating a card, layout, etc

I used the Dreamin paper pack for this layout.



I really wanted to use CTMH cork letters for the title, but I could not find them, so I used this corregated alphabet and blinged it up a bit with Glitz Glitter Gel.

Heart 2 Heart challenge - Week 2

This weeks challenge at Heart 2 Heart is a color challenge!!!
Think snow with these colors: Crystal Blue, Amethyst, White or Colonial White.
Step it up add-on: Add glitter.
It was a blizzarding cold day here and I decided that I was done with snow, so I thought of spring instead!
I did stick to the colors though!
To create by background paper, I stamped my flower images with versamark ink and then clear embossed, after I sponged my two colors over top....treating it as a resist.
I used the Hooray Bouquet stamp set.

Thanks for looking and be sure to link up your artwork at Heart 2 Heart!!!
