My second submission to this week's challenge at Etsy Inspired Challenge is the ladybug Bling ring from the Caged Fairy Shop. I used Posh impressions ladybug stamps (outline stamp & solid stamp), heat embossed, and placed the gems where the ladybug's dots are, just like on the pic. :-) Flourish stamp is from Autumn Leaves, and heat embossed too. Layering Black solid paper has Shimmers in it. So is the paper for the sentiment/happy birthday. Colors of black stripes background paper looks a bit grey cuz of the flash, and the colors of RED card stock & Ribbon looks a bit orangish but they are more like Cardinal dark red.
This week's challenge at Etsy Inspired Challenge is from the Caged Fairy Shop on Etsy. I got inspired by her store more than one. I even wanted to make MORE than TWO, being getting inspired by her things!! Unfortunately i don't have those Trendy OWL stamp... I have seen Alice In Wonderland STAMP collection in online store somewhere but i don't own those either, BUT i thought of Tim Holtz' rabbit stamp when i saw this pendant picture, and i decided to make a card with this pendant in mind, first. yes, i made 2 cards for this week's challenge! :-) When i make cards for "challenges" on blogs, i hardly check what i win, BUT WHEN i get inspired RIGHT AWAY from the themes and pics. , i just make cards! :-) I had hard time, choosing which pic. to pick from this store this week! LOL! I'm uploading 2 pics. for the same card on this post cuz i used perfect pearls, and one card isn't enough to see it on screen... i used perfect pearls on Black background textured paper & around the rabbit on white CS, using the same swirl stamp (Tim Holts also) and same color of perfect pearls; Blue Smoke. I colored the white CS edges with mementos' London fog color. Unfortunately the color isn't that great... the red CS i used, is really a dark Cardinal color red BUT all pics. i took show a bit Orangish color...:-( The ribbon has shimmer in it. I'm not sure when i'll be able to afford a better camera...lol...The Rabbit image was attached using pop up glue dots to give some dimention.
I luv Paper Piecing! So much Fun! BUT my stamps are very limited to do good paper piecing, esp. the companies Simon Says carries. This is the stamp i chose. It's Penny Black. I'm not sure you can tell all which i did paperpiercing, from this pic. Well, the largest part is the table cloth. I matched with the backgrond paper. Others?? All 5 Gift Bags! oh my! Those were very small to cut out! For christmas tree border, i used a piece of Silky Red Ribbon underneath, to give a bit of soft, but shiny look instead of regular card stock. I used my fav.! Sakura Quick Glue pen to draw the edge of the circle cut out with the sentiment, red-glittered it! I drew the silver earrings & the necklace for a blond girl, and gold earrings & the necklace for brown hair girl, using gel pens. This stamp wasn't meant for Christmas time, which i can tell from the original coloring but when i started to paperpierce them, i found more Christmas design & color papers which fitted well. As usual??, i used 3D glue dots for sentiment & the main image, but used thicker ones for the main image.
As soon as i saw this photo, i thought of my HM stamp with a cup cake which my online HM friend, Valda gave me :-) I've been searching Cupcake designed papers, ever since, but i can't find it...2 local stamp stores, 1 local scrapbooking store, michaels & joann's... :-( so, i had to MAKE some background papers...I stamped cupcake images randomly, and colored the cherries with dark pink gel pen. I just noticed... eyelets are all the same color but on the pic., it shows two on the top are darker than the lower ones...
It's a Sketch time at Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge this week. And this is the first time i used this border punch for circle base. Anyways, since i don't have any swirl punches, i used those gems to make swirls. I placed the tiniest pearls on her necklace & earing. I used Glitter to make a frame for the bride image. I luv this bride stamp! "best wishes" circle tag was attached with pop up glue dots. I haven't made a wedding card for a very long time, but i really wanted to make one using this beautiful bride stamp which i got it recently at a stamp fair. I luv this ROUND card. I should make a card with it more often :-)
