A Few More Challenges

Oh boy, did I have fun today!  More challenges to be accomplished...

I started with Gina K Designs September Monthly Mix; Faux Embossing, and AAA Cards #248; Tag on a Card. [This might not be CAS enough for this challenge, but I went ahead and entered anyway]

Believe it or not, there was a lot of creative detail for this card.  I started by brayering on ink on a card panel - Thanks JM. [I will be doing this in the future, totally loved the effect!], did the faux embossing effect using Gina K Wild Blossoms Stamp Set, and then cut the tag inside panel out of that.  I cut strips of paper, and adhered onto another card panel [for stability], and cut that down for the card front, [after I texture plated the card base front]. Whew!  That was a lot of steps 😀

I cut the tag base in one of the same colors as the strips, made a hugs sentiment, adhered all together, and this over-the-top layered, colorful card was complete!  While I kept the faux embossing subtle I am loving the end result!  A gift with a card - works for me every time 😀..

I went on to join in [my favorite] ATC Around the World Challenge; anything goes.

 I inked up the backgrounds with a brayer [same technique as above], and using miscellaneous stamps, stamped over the inked areas.

A trick I recently learned? Use white pigment refill ink for bright white splatters. [This did work brilliantly!]  I used a mitten die with gold glitter paper, and various sentiment strips [with matching small dies] from GKD.  I love giving Christmas tags as small presents, or sometimes, I even use them on gift bags for friends.

Okay, another totally fun day creating!  Thanks Challenges - great times~
