Sending Love to Altenew and Runway Inspired Challenge...

I LOVE my new Altenew stamps so so so so much!!!!  They just stamp beautifully and with so much detail too... anywho, when I saw the new Runway Inspired Challenge I was in love with that too, so this beauty of a card was created...

 

Supplies Used:
Cardstock: PTI
Stamps: Altenew
Ink: Versamark Watermark Ink Pad and PTI
Embossing Powder: Colorbox
Sequins: Pretty Pink Posh and V's Sweet Ideas

I never really create with this color combo, but I LOVE it!  You will def. see this more in the future.  I gathered all of the colors from the photo seen here... and the red?  Well look closely at the photo again and in the background you can see someone in a white shirt and more towards the front you can see some red shoes... :)

I am also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Anything Goes

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Your Time To Shine... A little Watercoloring

Hello!  I recently got my hands on some of the Tim Holtz watercolor paper and just had to bust it out... that and I was itching to do something for fun, so when I saw a few watercoloring challenges I knew it was meant to be...

Supplies:
Stamps: Mama Elephant
Distress Inks
Staz-On
Water brushes
Patterned Paper: American Crafts
Vellum

I actually water colored the circles first in various yellow and orage distress inks and stamped the images and sentiment once it was dry.  I then adhered it to a layer of vellum and popped them both up with foam adhesive.

This card was based on the Mama Elephant Challenge: Watercolor + Birthdays and the AAA Cards Challenge: Watercolor

And in the Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge
And finally in the Allsorts Challenge: Favorite things as Mama Elephant Stamps are one of my favorites to play with!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Soft with Kraft

I love creating cards on kraft cardstock, although I don't think I do it enough.  You can use pull so many emotions from kraft, which makes it perfect for any themed card/creation.  Today I am sharing a sympathy card using only four basic materials on here, and on The Alley Way Stamps Blog today.  With a piece of kraft cardstock, Flower Show Stamp Set, kraft ink, and a white colored pencil I have created this...

When I first created this card I had full intentions to color over the white areas with various colors, but I am so glad I stopped and looked at it before I did because I think this look gives a more simpler softer look.

I am also linking this card up to the Paper Crafting Challenge: Get Krafty

Thank you for stopping by and make sure you check out what the other TAWS girls are sharing today!
