Hello Everyone!
I'm hosting the new challenge over at Third Coast Creative Challenges and this one is
White Shabby Chic!
Here's my project demonstrating the theme! I hope you'll come join us for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Third Coast Rubber Stamps!
I enjoy playing with white on white layering of embossed and die cut cardstocks and particularly love the depth created by the play of shadows! I used 3 different shades of white on this one! You can have so much fun with this theme and its a great way to use up your off cuts from your cardstock stash too!
The background of my card is embossed with Tim's Bingo/Patchwork Texture Fade embossing folder with a narrow panel of embossed Cuttlebug daisies down the right hand side and attached with two white brads. I also roughened the edges with Tim's paper distresser tool. The large Weathered Clock die cut, Tim Holtz' Alterations, is layered on top with pop dots. The image, May I have This Dance? (VB-239-P) by Third Coast, is stamped onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth heavy weight cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I chose to add just a touch of Copic B23 and blended it with a Copic Colourless Blender. I also added touches of B23 to the white paper daisies and diluted it with the Blender pen. I completed the card by fussy cutting out the image and adhering it to the card with pop dots and added the daisies with craft glue.
I hope you'll come and play with me over at Third Coast Creative Challenges blog and enter TCCC#9 White Shabby Chic! I'd also like to give you a heads up on the next two challenges for this year!
TCCC#10 Advent Calenders - either functional or the Xmas countdown can be the theme of your projects! 11/23 - 12/05
TCCC#11 Baby It's Cold Outside! Winter theme only + use Glitter! No Santas! 12/07 - 12/19
Stay tuned for my next two projects featuring the new challenge over at Blockheads Paper Arts too! The new challenge is Clean & Simple! It couldn't be easier to win some awesome prizes!
I'm entering my card into the following challenges:
Charisma Cardz Challenge #44 - Feeling Blue
Simply Create Too Challenge #26 - Use Your Stash
I used white cardstock scraps and the paper flowers from my stash
Joyful Stamper Inspire Me Fridays #84 - Anything Goes
