Challenge #15 Inspiration with Rachel

Hello, everyone! Rachel here today with some inspiration for Challenge #15 for you!

For my card, I chose the middle column - partial die-cutting, sparkle, and staple.

I started by stamping my flower image onto a white panel and then using a circle die to partially cut up to the tips of the flowers. I used my craft knife to carefully complete the window by cutting around the flowers. After I was sure everything was cut properly, I used my Copics to color my image. (Good thing I waited! I actually ruined the first panel I tried to cut!) Next, I heat embossed my sentiment in silver on some vellum and cut it out with stitched fishtail banner die. I stapled my sentiment to my card front to adhere it.

I added my acetate behind my window and then used lots of foam tape so my sequins would have enough room to shake. I carefully adhered my panel to a white card base and then added a sprinkling of sequins to the front of the card for some extra sparkle and to add a little more adhesive to the end of my sentiment. (It looked like it was going to fly away without them!)

Here's a close up of the sentiment since it's a little hard to read in the original photo. I hope you enjoyed my card and it inspires you to play along with us!

Challenge #13 Inspiration with Rachel

Hello! Rachel here from RBergfeld Card Designs with some fun inspiration for Challenge 13!

For this card, I chose the middle row - Shimmer, Border Stamp, and Balloon.

I'm trying to create more one layer cards for easier mailing, so that's what I started with for this piece. I cut and folded my card base and then began by stamping all of my balloon images. I used two different ink colors - Fog Gray and Pale Blush Pink from Simon Says Stamp. I love how light and ethereal they look! I knew I wanted the cluster of balloons to be greater near the top, so I started by stamping just a few at the bottom and slowly working my way toward the top by increasing the number I was stamping. I added the strings in after all my balloons were stamped.

The confetti image is actually a small border stamp that I repeatedly stamped side by side to cover the top. I stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with some Rose Gold embossing powder. It's super shiny and pretty in person!

I finished the card by stamping my sentiment in a bold black ink so it would stand out beautifully.

I hope you like my card and it inspires you to create your own masterpiece for our challenge!
