Love to Scrap Challenge Blog - it's ANYTHING GOES

 Hi friends! It's ANYTHING GOES at Love to Scrap Challenge Blog; I hope you will join us!

I created two of these cards (I'll show the other one soon) recently and they are very different; they both use the Simon Says Stamp + Honey Bee Collaboration On My Mind; such a beautiful set with so many great sentiments!

I embossed the kraft card stock and brushed on some white ink to help the embossing pop. The image was stamped on water color paper and cut with the matching die. I used Copics to color the image, added some gold stickles and popped the focal point up with fun foam to finish it off. A pretty simple card!

Thanks for stopping by; hope you and yours are safe and healthy!

Mix It Up - Inlaid Diecutting

Hi friends! It's a fun one at the Mix It Up Challenge Blog this month! We're focusing on inlaid diecutting. I love this technique, but it can easily be forgotten; and...sometimes what you have in your head just doesn't come out the same when finished - HA!

I actually created a different card before this one but just wasn't happy with it, so back to the drawing board with a different die. This is from MFT, Rose Overlay, I love this die and have used it many times - it's perfect for inlaid die cutting.

I used designer paper from Altenew, Celebrate, to inlay with the outer border being Strawberry Milkshake from Taylored Expressions. Once I had everything die cut, I stuck the 'insides' of the rose to a piece of masking paper and used double stencils for the lines and polka dots on the flower. I also used the polka dots on the leaves (that's probably my favorite thing)!! I dripped some distress ink from the top - frayed burlap and worn lipsick - once dry, assembled the card, sponged around the edges and added sequins as the final touch. The main panel is mounted with fun foam.

Hope you will take the time to join our fun challenge this month; we love seeing your creations!
