Dare to Get Dirty Day Two!

Well, my fingers are inky again today with some great challenges on SCS. I've got two challenge cards in this post...I hope to finish another one later, but we'll see how it goes :)

Woven Life

This card was for Laurie's challenge.

I inked my new Life set from PTI with my SW markers and then came back and gave it some definition with the fine point of the markers.

I love how a woven ribbon section looks with mis-matched sizes of ribbon, I've got wide satin, medium satin, narrow taffeta and then silk to tie a bow. It's a ribbon-fest!

This is for Kim's challenge today, I love popping up items on my cards, it gives it that extra something that makes a card WOW, but I went the extra mile today and gave my card SUPER pop, giving some of the sections of the Nasturtiums and leaves 3 layers! Whew! This is going to need a padded envelope!

I used my Pierceabilities to emboss and pierce the sentiment layer and then trimmed out the outline, I added a little white sponging on the heart using the Pierceabilities as a template, again a little silk ribbon to finish it.

Dare to Get Dirty Day Two!

DTGD - My Designer Paper

Alrighty...everyone having fun in the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges yet? This is my 3rd entry today (and last one :) ) ....so you can scroll down for the other two projects I made today if you like. I made one last card today for my friend Betty's Challenge. We've served on the Dirty Dozen and at Flourishes together. She's a great warm creative gal.

I'm loving how these colors look together! And who can resist a classic set like Baroque Motifs. I paired the Bermuda and Kiwi and Craft White in different sections of my card to create my own Designer Paper. Then added the stacked medallion as a focal piece on the largest SU Circle Punch. I also added the stacked sentiment and the pretty organdy ribbon too.

I love how vibrant it is, and it was really easy too.

See you tomorrow with some more challenges! Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you jump into the challenges if you can. It's really SO much fun. All the Dirty Girls have put some wonderful work into these next few days!

Recipe: Stamps: Baroque Motifs; Ink: Bermuda Bay, Kiwi Kiss, Craft White; Paper; Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Kiwi Kiss; Accessories: Scalloped Edge Punch, Dimensionals, Silver Brads, Organdy Ribbon, Oval Punches (all 3), 1 3/4 Circle Punch

DTGD - My Designer Paper

Dare to Get Dirty!

If you are a Fan Club Member at Splitcoast (and why wouldn't you be :) )....the next few days are a highlight of the year in my opinion. Dirty Girl and Alumni challenges all day today, tomorrow and Saturday. Absolute FUN. It's called Dare to Get Dirty! I know the all the girls have some awesome challenges ahead!

I'm blessed to be a sample maker for my friend Tracy Harp today we served together on the Dirty Dozen for a few months. I won't tell you the details of the challenge, as that's exclusive to Fan Club members, but I will show you what I made.

This is the new Medallion set from SU. I thought it was so elegant looking! Inside the windowed purse are 4 cards and matching envelopes.

I have to say I was very inspired by Val's Note Box tutorial here, (she's SO innovative!) but didn't use her tutorial to do this as I wanted to revamp something slightly different for myself. I may do a tutorial on how to make this project after the DTGD challenges are over, if there's any interest.

Above is the card where I added Crystal effects around the medallion to give it some lovely shine and dimension.

What I love about this project....the classy-ness, how it would be great as a gift, the window in the purse to the cards, and that it's a portable gift like a little purse!

Recipe: Stamps: Medallion, So Many Sayings, All Holidays; Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede; Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede, Confetti Cream, Rich Razzleberry DSP, Soft Suede DSP, Window Sheet; Accessories: Big Shot, Labels 4 Nestabilities, Rich Razzleberry Dotted Ribbon, Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Linen Thread, Dimensionals, Sponge, Crystal Effects, Modern Label Punch, Latte Buttons, Scor It, Sticky Tape
