MMSC45 & ODBDSLC6 - Happy Spring!!

I made this card with two challenges in mind. This week's MMSC45 - what a fun sketch, and ODBDSLC6 - Think Spring and New Life...to may a springy card.

For my spring card, I decided to use the newly released Easter Blessings from Our Daily Bread Designs I started by stamping the lily of the valley image with Pealed Paint Distress ink. I then cut the image up for the brick wall look, and distressed all the edges with both Shabby Shutters and Tea Die distress inks. The DP on the base of the card is from Basic Grey's Origins DP. To finish off the card, I added a few light green gems and some olive satin ribbon.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a wonderful day!!

I Heart for You!

With all My Love

I have two projects to share with you today using the I Heart for You sheet! First, I made this fun little box. This box is just so super simple to use! I first saw the template over on my friend Holly's (Toy on SCS) blog. The base of my box is pink pirouette, and the flap was created using the new digi paper from ISC called With All my Love. I used my Labels 8 Nestabilities to create not only the flap, but also the window in the front, which is covered with acetate. I inked all the edges of the box and flap with tea die distress ink.

To decorate the box, I stamped the scalloped circle word image on both pink pirouette and barely banana, and the stamped the flower image over the words. I then cut the flowers out, crumpled them up and distressed them even more with some tea die distress ink. I off set and layered all the flowers, and attached them together with a large yellow crystal brad. To finish off the box, I added some yellow grosgrain ribbon, the distressed sentiment tag, and the yellow gem flourish (which I created by hand with a bunch of tiny gems...I know...crazy! LOL!!)

The card I have for today was created using the brick wall technique. Such a fun technique...especially if you love to distress things, like I do! I stamped the heart image with fired brick distress ink, cut it in a brick pattern, and distressed all the edges with walnut stain and fired brick distress inks. To finish off the card, I added the sentiment cut out with a deckled Nestabilities, and some brown thin twill ribbon with a ribbon slider.
