FORE!


Hello everyone, we have a brand new challenge at USE YOUR STUFF.

The theme for this challenge is sports.

I went with a play on golf terms for this card.

I used an image by Dr. Digi, Hole in  One Hal.  I use all sorts on this, markers, pencils and glitter gels.
I trimmed the image and framed it with dark purple cs.  The back front panel is lavender.  I added a paper piece of marbled purple from Recollections.  The number 4 was cut multiple times to make it stacked with my cricut.
The sentiment was made with my cricut and then flagged with a dark purple cs piece.

All set on a side fold dark purple cs base.

I hope you have fun playing along with the challenge.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may please:

QKR Stampede - ATG

The Cookie for this challenge is sooooo cute.




For my card, I started with an image by La Petite Market and I used both marker and colored pencils on the Digi.  I framed that piece with teal and gold cs to frame it.  The background cs is from DCWV that I absolutely love with the gold foil bits in that pad (Violet Leaf).  It's so yummy.  The sentiment was colored with marker - edge with mermaid lagoon distress ink and also framed in the gold cs.
Everything was set on a top fold teal cs base.

HB Notes


Hello Everyone
It's my BIRTHDAY TODAY
and
It's a new challenge at
Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday.

This round the theme is a this or that and I will post the image below.

For my card, I started with a piece of blue cs as my front panel.  I added a piece of chevron silver mylar card stock from Mambi that I rounded off the corners.   I then ran faux stitching around the edges of both.  I then cut a piece of grey/blue paper from recollections and framed that with a piece of grey cs.  I wrapped blue and white bakers twine around the front panel.  The HB sentiment is a sticker that I had in my stash and I raised it with dimensional tape and topped it with a wink of stella to give it a bit more flair and shine.  I then added robin egg blue Neuvo Drops around the piece.  All on a dark grey side fold cs base.

I hope you have fun playing along with this challenge at Try Stamin' on Tuesday.

Here is the sketch for you to follow:
