A Couple of Challenges

I took some time to join in a couple of challenges that inspired me.  The first one, Global Design Project #328 - Case the Designer.  I do love to CASE cards - especially when I like them lol.

Here is her card:

I love the center focal image, and also the water colored background.

For my CASE, I went to my extra background panels and found one I liked, then I colored the flowers from Trinity's  Blooming Bunch [with matching dies] to match it.

I rather like the solid coloring of the images, and you still can see the angled panels, and the background.

The sentiment is from Memory Box Signature Greetings with matching dies.  I really enjoy the detailed die to the fun font sentiment.

I was watching a video today, and it reminded me of a technique that I just adore, but typically, forget about doing - sanding embossing.  The timing was perfect for me to join in the Simon Says Monday Challenge; Embossing Folder.You can see the video HERE, and here is my card.

Once again, I grabbed an inked panel [from my stash], and used the Simon Says 3D Roseville Bouquet Embossing Folder.  [It's very pretty]

 

Here is a close up of the sanding. It's hard to see with the colors of the panel, but in real life, it's pretty cool.

The sentiment is from Simon Says Sentiment Strips.  [I just love this product!]

You can see the video HERE.

 

Thanks so much challenges!  I had a blast joining in~
