Little Tangles Challenge: Sketch

Welcome to another Neat and Tangled Little Tangles challenge! This week we have a sketch for inspiration!

Here is what I created with the sketch as my inspiration! 

For the card, I used the scalloped stamp from the On the Edge Stamp Set and stamped it twice with My Favorite Things Tropical Teal ink.  Then I cut a piece of gold foil paper to fit between the two stamped images and raised it up with fun foam.  For the sentiment (from the Sparkle and Shine stamp set) I used Ranger Gold Tinsel embossing powder for an extra pop of sparkle.  To finish the card off I used some star sequins.

Here is a closer look at the sparkle from the embossing powder- the camera does not do it justice for just how sparkly it really is!

I hope you will join us over at the Little Tangles challenge blog and submit a card for the challenge!

Little Tangles Challenge: Clean and Simple

This week is another awesome Neat and Tangled Little Tangles challenge! 

I created a couple cards for the challenge this month because I am a huge fan of clean and simple cards. 

For both cards I used the Kindness Matters stamp set with Memento Ink in black and then colored in the hearts with Copics.  I matted the white cardstock pieces (Neenah) onto gray and black cardstock and adhered them onto the card fronts. 

I hope you will join us over at the Little Tangles challenge blog and submit a card for the challenge!

Hugs

I'm a big fan of simple cards.

Too many techniques or techniques that are time consuming just don't appeal to me.

Today I want to share a card that I made using the new Lawn Fawn Hugs die. I stamped the background with Impression Obsession Cling Star Stamp and cut the die out of glitter paper. To ground the sentiment I cut some strips of black and teal and slanted them on the card.  Star sequins helped finish off the card.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  This week I said goodbye to Kira, my German Shepherd.  I had her for 12 years and she was the sweetest dog I've ever known.  She never met a person she didn't like and brought joy to my family's life.  She had bone cancer that was not responding to treatment and we knew it was time help ease her pain.  While it was so hard to say goodbye, I know she is in a better place and pain free.  I will miss her more than words can express.

I will be back next week with a new Little Tangles Challenge post. 

Do you like clean and simple cards or are you more of a technique heavy card maker?
