A Tri-fecta of Cards

Happy Friday! Today, I have 3 cards to share with you. Two of them are for the new Desert Islands Crafters Challenge, and the other is for the new Dilly Beans Challenge. Let's begin with DICC. I am happy to announce that Smeared Ink is our sponsor for the week, and you could win their awesome Heart Wings digi set! I've used a few images from that set in my cards.
Here's the Itinerary that I came up with for this latest challenge.

1. Heart(s)

2. Wings

3. Glitter

4. Doilie

5. Loving Sentiment

6. At Least 3 Patterned Papers

7. Smeared Ink Stamps

8. Lots of Texture

9. Metal Accents

10. Distressing

I made this card for Phoenix for Valentine's Day. I used #'s 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10. The Heart Wings set is really a blast to play with.

I hope you can see the glitter on the wings. I also popped up the image with foam.

He loved his card! The next one I made was for Rhiannon. I used the same numbers off of the itinerary.

Lots of hearts on her card! My girl does love hearts!

Here you can really see the glitter on the wings.

This week over at Dilly Beans, we needed to create something with Red and Black.

I love these little penguins! I thought they would look really "cool" in just these colors.

I love red, black and white together, o this was a fun challenge too!

I hope you will play along with both of these challenges. And please be sure to visit both of the challenge blogs to see what the rest of the DT's have come up with. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts. This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink.
