Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #510. Diecuts and/or Stencils

 


This is my Die cut/Stencil project...for Challenge #510 at Addicted to Stamps and More


This comprises a white card blank matted with a green paper. I then added a paper I had produced with my Gelli plate, with a heart die cut from it, and stencilled with a Visible Image circle stencil in white. I added some lace behind this and had already embossed the book on it. This is a stamp from Visible Image Free your imagination. The words are from Visible Image Laugh Louder also embossed in black on some more of the Gelli pull, cut out and placed on more green. 

Hope you will enter the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge! Do hop over to see the fabulous inspiration from my team-mates!

Outlawz Twisted Challenge - Colour Scheme

 

This is a new Outlawz challenge which will scroll through the themes
Songs and Rhymes
Colour
Greetings
Sketch

This month it is Colour Scheme  where your make should be inspired by this colour scheme, chosen by me:





 

This is my card:




I used a white card base followed by a mat  of deep pink. I then added an embossed layer - a light pink with a heart embossing folder. I covered the bottom triangle of this with a patterned paper. I then added three punched hearts with faux stitching around the edges.

Next came the bling flamingo.



The sentiment is  from Stampin Up stamped and then die cut. I placed this on a base of pink and fussy cut it out. I added a little twine and placed it on dimensionals.
