Hi everyone,

I'm popping in today to share one of my cards published in Paper Crafts "Card Ideas for Paper Crafters". I LOVE this issue (and not just because I have 4 cards in it). ;) It really is fun to see how 4 different people approached one particular sketch. This issue is packed full of amazing cards and I'm sure I'll be referring to it often for ideas.

How can you 'Resist' Lily Pad Cards?

Like my title? I could 'resist'. Hee hee. Okay enough of the puns. :)

This week's Lily Pad Cards challenge is use the Resist stamping technique. :) We have a WONDERFUL sponsor this week too! Simon Says Stamp! Yay! I have to tell you, I just love their customer service and international shipping rates. They are top-notch! :)

Here's my card:

For my card I used the Springtime Silhouettes stamp set by Gina K. Designs, Out of Print patterned paper by Basic Grey, and Bloomers ribbon by Webster's Pages.

Instructions:

1.       Make notecard from cardstock.

2.       Cut patterned paper to size and distress edges with distresser.

3.       Clear emboss butterfly image at top and stamp sentiment at bottom.

4.       Using distress inks and ink blending tool apply color over butterfly image.

5.       Adhere panel to card and embellish with ribbon.

      Feel free to email me with any questions you may have. :) 

      I can't wait to see what the other designers have come up with over at Lily Pad Cards! Hop on over to take a look and get all the challenge details. 

      As always, thanks for stopping bye! :)

Hi everyone!

I'm here today to post a card I made for the Lily Pad Cards sketch challenge this month. Our Sponsor is The Greeting Farm and they make the most adorable images. :)

Here's this month's sketch:

Here's my card:

 

I took the sketch and stretched it side ways and didn't include the sentiment. I like the flexibility of sketches and how you can adjust them to fit your needs. :)
