Hello friends! The month is almost over! My goodness, times is sure flying and we are getting close to Thanksgiving and Christmas!

We have a new challenge over at the Skipping Stones Designs Blog, this time we have a sketch + inspiration picture, you can choose one or both! I decided to mix both into my project, the inspiration picture has a lot of elements you can pick to create a card, I got inspired by the damask, white/black. teal colors and the little bits of gold.



 This is the card I created, here are the details:
  • Make a card base from White cardstock. A2 size.
  • Cut a panel from Black cardstock 3.5" x 4.75"
  • Cut a panel slightly smaller than black in teal color. Stamp damasks from Damask Darling in Gold delicata ink and set aside to dry.
  • Stamp sentiment on teal cardstock from Merry & Bright set in StazOn Jet Black ink. Trim piece and add a piece of white cardstock behind.
  • Add stamped panel to card base, a stripe of gold cardstock and the sentiment with foam adhesive.
  • Die-cut a white snowflake and adhere it card with foam adhesive. Add a rhinestone to center of snowflake.


Don't forget to add your creations HERE, you have until Friday, November 6th at 5:00 pm EST to enter the challenge.

Skipping Stones Design Tip/Technique Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to the Skipping Stones Tip/Technique Blog Hop!! I have a tip for you today! A super cool and easy one "Repeat stamping" This card is the result of repeat stamping, you just need a wipe and ink in different colors. I used a whole bunch of Memento Dew Drops I have in a little box that doesn't get too much love, I thought why not use this super cute dandelion image in different colors, at first I wasn't too sure, but at the end I loved the result!!

For my project I used Dandelion Dreams
Here is a close up of the image , doesn't look lovely? 
I used Memento Angel Pink, Tangelo, Bamboo Leaves, Sweet Plum, Lady Bug, Love Letter, Dessert Sand, Dandelion, Cabana (SU)


I stamped the saying on a same cardstock color as my card base.


And this is how it looks like!!
