Less Is More - Splatters & Time Out

The new challenge over at Less is More (Week 219) is "Splatters".
Great theme. I used a white square card base and added 3 different Distress Inks through  my "Splatter" stencil. Spritzed it with a bit of water and stamped the sentiment with black VersaFine. Nice and Easy :)
I would also like to enter this into the "Rainbow" challenge at Time Out

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: Let's Get Vintage

This weeks challenge on Merry Monday Christmas is "Let's Get Vintage".

For this card I've printed out the vintage image twice, layered one on red cardstock and cut out the sentiment on the second image and adhered it to the first image to get a little bit of 3D effect. I added red patterned paper and ribbon to a gold square cardbase and added the focal image. 
My Christmas cards collection for this year is slowly growing, which is great. I really enjoy it :)

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: Angels/Cherubs

This weeks challenge on Merry Monday Christmas is "Angels/Cherubs".

For this card I've cut out 2 rectangular panels and embossed them with a Polka Dot folder. Then I glued both panels on a red card base. I stamped the angel with black VersaFine and used clear embossing powder. After that I used a red glitter pen to highlight some areas and added red adhesive stones.  I did the same with the sentiment piece. Finally I layered them with some red cardstock and glued the toppers on the card base.

I cut out 3 different size circles in Black and White and layered them on top of each other. I stamped the quote on the top white one. Then I adhered white and red ribbon to a piece of black card and glued it to a white cardbase. Finally I added the circles and a glittery red heart.

The Craft Barn: Calendar Challenge

New Craft Barn prompts for April. They are BLUE and UMBRELLAS.
I've started with the background and added different blue Distress Inks on it. Then I used a brush and spritzed water all over it to create raindrop stains. After that I added the stitch border. 
For the tag I used Distress Inks again, added the border and stamped the circles. The main image is from Tim Holtz stamped with VersaFine and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used the same DIs as for the tag and added the red ribbon. Then adhered everything to the background. Sorry for the slightly wonky scan, it's a bit too early in the morning :)

For this card I've cut out a 6 squares in 2 different sizes with my Cuttlebug. I've added Distress Inks to each square and added white glitter snowflakes to each square. After that I scored 3 lines on a white card-base and added the same Distress Inks. I arranged and glued the squares on the card and stamped the sentiment with Distress Ink and coloured it with a Gelly Roll pen.

The Craft Barn: Weekly Challenge

The new theme for the weekly challenge at the Craft Barn is Retiform. Check this technique out here.
I've done this technique before, but didn't know it was called Retiform. 
I masked off different sections on a square piece of cardstock and coloured them with blue and red Distress Inks. Then masked off every section again and stamped the Asian woman and the cherry blossoms in the different sections. I've added the ribbon and the charm and layered the piece on some black card and onto a gold card base. 
A fun technique.
