Locked Hearts






          It was a busy weekend ... this card is has three interlocking hearts to work with the Fusion Challenge.  I cut the hearts using my Cricut and the Sampler cartridge.  The XOXO was stamped using gold embossing powder.  The stamp itself is a mounted stamp from the bargain bin and is one of my favorites.
All mounted on white card stock which is on a black card stock base.  I brushed the edges of the white card stock with Fired Brick.









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

Anniversary




          This is an anniversary card with a color themed challenge by City Crafter.
I started with the black card stock and hand cut the three windows.  I then cut the soft blue/green cards stock with the single window a little larger than the three black ones.
I stamped the flowers onto white card stock as well as the brushed the edges of the flag with Tumbled Glass.
All of this is anchored onto black card stock for an additional frame.

One Love





    I cut so many different shaped hearts for this one and didn't use a single one.   The hearts just didn't what to play with my muse or vice versa.
So, I cut out of white CS a large rectangle stamp piece by Spellbinders - I blocked off with note paper the edges and then sponged three different reds in the center. Fired Brick, Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral.  I mounted that onto black CS.  The 'One Love' was cut using my Cricut and the Lyrical Letters cartridge.
All mounted on white CS.










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

Make My Monday: Black / White / Red.

GOLD gold GOLD








         This card took a couple of different turns before all was said and done.
         I started with printed paper by Mambi in that tiled gold.  I cut a circle with two sizes of circles.  I framed the cut circle with a smaller circle in black CS.  I backed that opening with printed acetate from Recollections in gold.  I added a foam backing and filled the circle with black and golds sequins and confetti.
          The sentiment is on gold velum that I stamped with a bargain bin stamp in black StazOn and clear embossing powder.
           The black dots are just popped with and everyday hole punch out of scrap black CS and then topped with glossy accents.   All of that mounted onto a black CS base.

XOXO





   This one started with some new blue and gold washi tape that I was just chomping at the bit to use.  I went with the color challenge with Just Us Girls and the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches to get 'er done.  Starting with the ballet pink card stock, I dropped that blue washi on a diagonal in those close rows.  I then faux stitched the edge by hand.  The sentiment frame was cut with a die from Art-C.  The XOXO stamp is a rubber goodie from the $1 box (gotta love those) which I used Chipped Sapphire with clear embossing powder for shine and depth.  I attached that with dimensional squares and faux stitched that as well.  The pretty ballet pink ribbon was added to fulfill the sketch.  All of this on gray card stock base.  Voila.










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