The Spot Challenge #106 Modern Heart

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday from the frozen tundra of Colorado... Who knew that 3 days ago that it was over 70 Degrees, I had on a tank top and even got a bit of sunburn. The pigs are nestled down in there houses and Taryn did her first virtual pig show! She did a great job for never showing pigs before!

This week The Spot Creative Challenge has one of my favorite colors combos as a challenge for you! Petal Pink, Gray Granite, and any thing metal! This could be Foils, Glimmer Paper, Embellishments, and of course Heat Embossing. It is a color combo I use A LOT and I really struggled with doing something that I hadn't done or was a bit replayed! Let me show you what I have created.

When the Annual Catalog came out last year, Modern Heart was one of the FIRST sets that I purchased, I used it a couple times and put it away. So with the retiring list coming out in just a couple weeks, I felt like I needed to bring this one out again! 

I started by stamping the large heart on Gray Granite with Versamark so that I could heat emboss the design with Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. Then I fussy cut this and set it aside. I had actually started this card with whole other idea, which is where the Corrugated embossed Petal Pink piece came from. It is nicely layered over a strip of Copper Foil. I created the background using the other stamps from the Modern Heart Stamp set. With the Petal Pink wash look. Gray Granite smaller hearts and Petal Pink mini hearts. It was a great touch with under my accent strips. I adhered the heart with the Stampin' Dimensionals over the strips. The sentiment was stamped in Gray Granite over the Petal Pink swoosh. I die cut this with one of the Rectangle Stitched Dies. A nice Whisper White Bakers Twine with few Metallic Pearls was the perfect touch. This is nicely layered onto a Gray Granite layer and a Petal Pink card base.

I can't wait to see what you create with this oh so pretty color challenge! 

Have an amazing day! 

TGIF Challenge 226 Modern Heart Splatter

Happy Friday!!! Are you ready for the weekend!? The kids are not back at school until next week! The days are being counted...trust me!!! Wesley has a football scrimmage tomorrow! The kid is pumped for football this year. It kind of took me by surprise. He tends to always take the easy road, so I thought that after playing last year... this year was questionable. I am excited too, I like being the loudest mom there!

The TGIF Challenges has a fun and what can be messy challenge for you this week! The challenge this week is Splatter and we all know I love to splatter!

Confession time, this card has been made for a while now... I actually used it as a swap card when the Annual Catalog went live in June. Let me show you what I have made!

This card started with my Whisper White card front. I have found that using an old Aqua Painter with a mixture of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Water is the best way for me to make my splatters. Once you have splattered this mixture you sprinkle what ever embossing powder you would like! I chose to use the Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. You will want to be sure you use your embossing buddy when doing this that way the powder doesn't stick in places you don't want it to! A nice Gold Foil banner was perfect with this. The heart is also heat embossed in gold over a background of Flirty Flamingo this great stamp is from the Modern Heart stamp set. I chose to use the largest stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut this out. It is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals over the banner and some Whisper White Bakers Twine! The sentiment is stamped in Gray Granite and then also die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies. To give a bit more umph, I have added a few Metallic Pearls for some visual texture. 

I can't wait to see the beautiful mess that you make for this challenge! Thanks for stopping by!!!

TGIF Challenges 215 A Modern Heart

I would normally say Happy Friday, but this week has been a doozy! Troy both got news about family members passing away around the same time. One of them being my dads brother Uncle Bob. Many of you know that I like to shop at Cheeky's. Well when you shop there, you end up in a group with other women who are just addicted to the brand! I have created a few friendships, but lost one on Wednesday. My friend Julie passed away... So this week can go to the wayside! On a lighter note, I get to go see Garth Brooks tomorrow... and well, Garth can make anything better!

Today TGIF Challenges has a fun and summery color challenge! I took full advantage of my Annual Catalog order coming yesterday and inked a BRAND NEW stamp set called Modern Heart! Let me show you what I have come up with!

I can't lie! I was SUPER excited about this stamp set! It is a fun abstract set that I am sure will get over looked by many! It really wasn't my week to participate but once I looked at the colors I knew exactly what I was going to do. First, I stamped the Pool Party wash type stamp on the background, I actually stamped it off first to acquire the look I was going for. I then stamped the heart in Night of Navy. This is accented with a few Granny Apple Green hearts. It still needed SOMETHING! So I decided to die cut with the Rectangle Stitched Dies and water down some Liquid Multipurpose and add some Stampin' Emboss Silver splatters. I have added a picture below so that you can see the splatters

Next I added some Night of Navy using the wash type stamp and heat embossed the sentiment on the bottom right hand corner. A bit of Whisper White Bakers Twine and Woven Thread Sequin Assortment and this card was complete with the mat of Granny Apple Green and card base of Pool Party!

I can't wait to see what you all create using this color combo! I have provided a full product list below!

Here is the host code! You will need when your order is below $150!
