A Double Challenge!!

This week I decided to participate in the Colour INKspiration Challenge #58, BUT boy oh boy, I didn'r realise how much of a challenge it would be for me!!

The colours to use were: Crumb Cake, (yep), Whisper White, (no problem), Gold, (okee-dokee) and Blushing Bride...eeek!! PINK!! And not the singer, either!!

And then I realised that I didn't have any gold embossing powder, which would have worked for me... I lent it to a friend a few weeks ago... Aghghgh!!

So I used Black Embossing Powder on the Gold Foil!! I haven't done that before, embossed onto Foil... Laying this on a peice of Crumb Cake that went through the Big Shot & Subtle Embossing Folder, gave it some more dimension also...

Gosh, I love a bit of fussy cutting! Although this took no time at all to cut out.

The detail of the Unicorn's mane is so gorgeous on the gold... *sigh* & I lifted all the layers up on Dimensionals.

I also saw that Just Add Ink's challenge this week was to use two of the three items: Foil, Ribbon OR Sequins... So that was an easy step up for my current card - Just add sequins!!

And suddenly I am happy with the card!!

Considering I didn't know what to do with the pink portion of the card AND the gold component, I think it came together ok - and Im okay with okay, lol!!

I guess, this is the whole reason for a challenge, right?

And these two certainly did that to me!!

To see how others interpreted these challenges, just head to the links above and leave a comment for them also :)

Until next time, happy Stampin'... Jo.

Moving Silhouette Scenes

I saw this stamp set in the new catalogue & hadn't decided if I liked it or not...so I bought it!!

And today saw me participating in a challenge with Just Add Ink #462 & this stamp set needed to be used!

I could imagine the girl on the swing, moving over that blank square... So using that as my first idea, I worked with Leave a Little Sparkle stamp set, (the word: believe) & the Woodland Embossing Folder also.

And it came together!!

So here is my entry for JAI #462. I'm a bit chuffed, I is!!

And for those of you who may be interested to know, I did my very first Live Video from my facebook page tonight!!

It shows you the products that I used for this card. So much excitement for the day, I tell ya!!
