Thank You - Sunday Stamps Challenge #188

Hey friends!  My nieces and nephew took my hubby and I out for dinner last week to celebrate my retirement and to thank my hubby for watching my one niece's dog when she goes away.  We had a lovely evening and I wanted to thank them.  I already had this card made but needed another.  I'm loving the multi-step stamps that many companies are designing.  I like to color, but these are so fast to make!  I stamped this lovely flower in black ink, then stamped the flower part in rose and red inks.  The stem was colored in with a copic marker.  I used a frame die to inlay a piece of pink glitter paper.  The panel with the flower was sprayed with black paint.  I added the sentiment with shimmer on it and crystals. 

 

I got my layout from the Sunday Stamps Challenge.

Happy Thanksgiving and Time Out Challenge #45

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!  I hope you have a great time with family and friends!  I'm hosting dinner at my home today for 10 of my family members!  Wish me luck!

 

We have a new challenge over at the Time Out blog.  This week is our Inspired by Words challenge where we give you a saying from which you can be inspired.  This is the saying:

Snowflakes are winter's butterflies

 

I love snowflakes and have many snowflake stamps and dies.  I had this snowflake already die cut, so all I did was cover it with Glue 'n Seal and rock candy distress glitter.  It sparkles so nicely!  And the paper is one of my all-time favorites.  I still have a good amount of it left. The colors are just so pretty...love the red and brown!  I finished it off with a banner sentiment and sequins.

 

I used this sketch from Sunday Stamps.

 

You can see more inspiration from the Time Out design team and our guest for this challenge, Ashwini on the Time Out blog!
