Taylor's Cupcake Challenges

January 25, 2009

This weekend, I was busy trying to made cards for Taylor's Cupcake challenges. Here are 3 cards that I have made for the challenge.

The first one is "Love Shack". For this card I used the sketch provided by Donna Baker. Stamp is from Amuse Artstamps called Love Shack. Image was stamped 2x on white cs with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. First image was cut and mounted on top of the second image with double sided foam tape for dimension. Stamped a branch on top of the house and passed a piece of blue scrappers floss to tie the house onto the tree branch. Matted the main panel on blue cs and dotted all around the edge with a White Signo pen. Cut into sqaures DP from My Mind's Eye - Quite Smitten and Irresistible and used this for the background of the card. Love to you was stamped on with cs and adhered to a Blue cs that was die cut with Spellbinders Ribbon Trio label die. Used a pink ribbon to adhere this to the card and added a heart charm. Layered some pink and blue Prima flowers to top end of the main panel.

Paper: My Mind's Eye - Irresistable and Quite Smitten and blue cs

The second card uses the sketch from Taylor Van Bruggen. Image is from the Sweet Stuff stamp set of Crafty Secrets Clear Art Stamps. Image was stamped on white cs with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. Cut it into an oval and sprayed it with Taterred Rose Glimmer Mist. Edges were distress with a distressing tool. This was mounted onto a pink DP from BoBunny's Tickled Pink that was die cut with an Oval Scallop nestabilities die. Bg DP is all from BoBunny Tickled Pinkm Forget Me Knots and Heart Throb Stripes. Blue strip was punch on one edge with a MS Lace border punch and stamped with heart and sentiment from Sweet Stuff stamp set. Added some Prima flowers and button to each side of the main image.

Third card is made for both Taylor Cupcake challenge and today's Featured Stampers challenge over at Slitcoast Stampers.

Also used a stamp from Great Impressions for the beach sand and stippled some Creamy brown. Second stamped images were cut and mounted on top of the first ones. Used the edge of a scallop oval to sponge the sky with Sky Blue ink. Image was then cut in a circle with a circle coluzzle and snipped part of the circle for the edge. Bg paper is from Basic Grey's Sugard paper pad. Pierced around the centre strip and added sentiment which was adhered with a designer brad. Used a Cuttlebug ornate corner die for 2 corners of the card.
