Bamboo and Black Combination

Bamboo is the base and strip of this simple and elegant card. Both are sponged with bamboo ink. The button has natural hemp added for a little more dimension. The paper is from the Silhouette paper packet. This is a 4.25" x 4.25" card utilizing the smaller Big Pinks white flower. It also looks good using a pink flower, making it pop a little more.

I also wanted to try the combination without using a paper packet, so the "I love you" card does that. The papers are bamboo, black and colonial white. I then sponged the bamboo with bamboo and used the sea sponge black on black (you can't see this detail). I then used our Club Connections rub-ons for the "stamping." I think it might peak customers curiosity seeing the card and ask more questions. This card is 3" x3".

My Jan. SOTM Contribution


Here's my contribution to the Jan. SOTM collection. The background is done using the chalk-popping technique with the added drama of liquid glass and glitter. Simple and fun!

Color Challenge: Bamboo and Black


This weeks color challenge is to use Bamboo and Black so I used the new Creative Basics Silhouette Collection (the ribbon comes in the pack too!). These cards went together so quickly!!! I just love this paper pack and I'm planning to make a bunch of cards for my card stash.

The flowers on the top card are from the Serendipity set and both of the Birthday sayings are from C1257 Happy Birthday.

Enjoy!

My April stamp of the month comes in the form of an event calendar. Colors are Honey, Blush, Lilac Mist and Citrus Leaf. I used Spring Iris for the message that goes at the bottom just so it shows up better. I love seeing all your posts! They're awesome!

This is my January SOTM sample I made. It's 6x6 Main Event. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the small upper right flower is glued on top. I had originally tried putting it on top of a 3-d foam, but I didn't like the way it looked.

New Year and we're ready to go....

Ok, so we gave ourselves a little break in December and got everyone hooked up and ready to post, so now it's time to start sharing our Design Team challenges...This week our challenge is to use the Close To My Heart January Stamp of the Month D1259 Eastertime.



I had a little trouble taking a picture of the one above

Since the stamps were sitting out and I have a ton of cards to make, I just kept using them....
