Addicted to Stamps and More #116

Good morning

Well, here we are, back around to Wednesday again which means that Addicted to Stamps and More has a brand new challenge for you.  And we have an easy peasy one for you this time which is...

Anything Goes!

Go ahead and create using anything you like, we'd love you to share it with us!

Our sponsor this week is Rick St Dennis and the prize being offered to our winner is 3 digis!

Here's my DT card using one of our sponsor's images...

Halloween cards are something I very rarely make and I felt a little out of my comfort zone making this one but on this occasion I thought I'd have a go at colouring this fab little image.  I printed off the digi and coloured it using ProMarkers and FlexMarkers.  Not the best colouring, I really need to build up my collection to give me more shading options!  This was then die cut with a rectangle die and framed with some thick green vellum.  I chose a black card base and stamped some silver stars on one side and then used a silver gelly roll pen to create the vertical line.  I embossed the sentiment in silver on purple cardstock and then had a play with my new bow die in orange to echo the orange bow ties in the image.  I used some dotty embossed card for this to add a bit of interest.  After some popping up on 3D foam my card was finished.

Materials used:

• Digi Image: Rick St Dennis - Flying High
• Stamps: Clearly Besotted - Happy Days and Many Thanks
• Ink: VersaMark; Versa Color - Silver
• Embossing Powder: Rubber Stampede - Silver
• Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Classic Rectangles Large; Frantic Stamper - Small Solid Bow
• Cardstock and vellum from stash

Addicted to Stamps and More #108

Hi there

Well, it's Wednesday so that means there's a new challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More.  And this week we're back with another great theme which is...

Addicted to Holidays

We'd like you to create something based on your favourite holiday season, eg. Easter, Christmas, Halloween, or perhaps base your entry on a favourite holiday destination.

Here's my DT card this week...

Our Sponsor this week is Rick St. Dennis and this week's prize is 3 free digis to one lucky challenge winner!

For this week's card I used a digi image by Rick St Dennis which I coloured with ProMarkers and added some highlights with Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents.  As the image is quite detailed I wanted to keep the rest of the card fairly simple so I covered the card base in some patterned paper and stamped the sentiment onto a fishtail flag strip.  The image and sentiment were popped up on 3D foam.

Materials used:

• Digi Image: Rick St. Dennis - Winter Friends
• Stamp: Clearly Besotted - Modern Christmas
• Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black
• Patterned Paper: Stampin' Up - Winter Frost Designer Series Paper Stack
• Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Classic Rectangles Large; MFT Die-namics - Fishtail Flag Stax
• Coloured with ProMarkers
• Accents with Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents

Why not pop over and take a look at the cards by the ATSM Design Team for some wonderful inspiration.  And if you haven't already, why not use this as a great time to start making those Christmas cards, and you could bag yourself three free digis as well!

As always, thanks for dropping by.
