Alpha + Sketch

I combined the first Alpha challenge (round 15) at SCS (Alcohol Inks) with the current Sketch challenge. 

I made the Alcohol ink background using pink and green Copic reinkers on white glossy cardstock.  I stacked green and pink cardstock and embossed them.  I added strips of sticky tape on the background and added gilding flakes.  Next, I cut a square of white cardstock and added double sided sticky tape, then added gilding flakes to that. Next, I die cut out a butterfly from that square. I used my circle punch and punched out three dots from the waste from the butterfly square of cardstock as an embellishment. 

These colors are so me : )  I love pinks.  A fun creative session!

World Cardmaking Day

I was able to steal away a little time in my craft room today and celebrate World Cardmaking Day!  

 As of late, I have been getting my creative 'prompts' from challenges at SCS.  I combined 2 challenges today- one is a Christmas card color challenge open for Fan Club members.  The other was the Free for all Challenge- asking for a Stenciled, Sparkly and Shiny card. 

 I have 2 containers of Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes, so popped open a multicolor gold and went to town.

  I cut out the nativity die from Die-Versions and have applied double sided sticky tape to both sides.  The gilding flakes were applies and burnished.  I added Glue through a Sizzix stencil and added some gold dots to the top, and then after cleaning the die, went over the entire black card using a metallic silver ink. 

 I drew and cut out the gold star, and added the sentiment from Sizzix Alterations using the same method as the above die.  

 I added a very thin strip of black shimmery Washi at the top and at the base of the card. 

 I may have to make a few more like this, I am loving this look- so much prettier IRL!!!

Challenges- TBA
