Creative Knockouts #489 - lot of layers

Hello crafty friends!

Better late than never....I went away on a holiday and forgot to set my post!!!

As always, the most current challenge can be found here: Creative Knockouts Challenge

Our lovely sponsor this week is Mirtillamente Craft Shop

I chose to work with a stamp set called Happy B-Day No1


I actually created 3 cards!





My "layers" come from the look of the paper itself!  I thought it was a cool spin on the them. Plus, all the "layers' of the mats too! 


Can't wait to see what you all create!  Good luck at the challenge!

Creative Knockouts #487 - Love is In the Air

Hello crafty friends!

It's time for another fabulous challenge with a fabulous digi from a fabulous sponsor!

Our lovely sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter!  

I chose to work with a stamp set called "That's Amore" - so so cute!



Here is what I created:


I printed off the background and stamp image separately, and fussy cut out the cute image. A bit of distressing ink around the edges finished off the vintage vibes.  I love how sweet this card turned out! It's approx 4.5x4.5 in size too!

Can't wait to see what you all create!  Good luck at the challenge!

Creative Knockouts #481 - Winter Wonderland

Hello crafty friends!

Let is snow, let it snow, let it snow! It's been a snowy week here on the prairies (well duh, it is December now! haha). I've been in full on Christmas Card mode this month....and today's card is super adorable!

It's time for a new challenge over at Creative Knockouts Challenge #480. 

Our theme this week is "Anything Goes” and our sponsor is the amazing “Lee Holland”. I chose to work with a stamp set called "Dragon Pulling Sledge".

Here is what I created:





I picked up some brand new metallic watercolors, so I decided to use them on my card this week. I did a spray with a White Gloss Spray - it added a subtle effect.

 
 

To emulate some snow, I used a bit of crackle paste.





My sentiment is from Tim Holtz.

I hope you enjoy this card!  I'm having fun trying different techniques.

Can't wait to see what you all create!  Good luck at the challenge!

P.S. I'm Entering this card over at World Wide Open Design Team Challenges.
