Serendipity Stamps Challenge #52 - Anything Goes!

 

I LOVED inking up this beautiful Serendipity Stamp called Bandana!  I inked the stamp using distress ink and stamped it onto white cardstock.  The sentiment is die cut from the Serendipity Stamps Howdy die.  My card is a 5" square with several layers.  To embellish I used gingham ribbon to create a pleated spiral "flower" and adhered a button in the center, the leaves are from MayArts Ribbon.

 

I'm entering my card in the Serendipity Stamps Anything Goes Challenge SSCB#52.

The CWWC Challenge is to add hearts to your card/project.

 

For my card, I was provided this adorable stamp from our challenge sponsor, Sami Stamps.  It is called Panda Heart.

 

 

I added a small heart button in the lower left corner of the image panel.  I fussy cut and paper pieced the heart being held by the sweet Panda.

MFP Stamps Challenge - CAS with a Hearts Theme!

 

 

We are doing CAS with a Hearts theme at the MFP Stamps Challenge blog.

 

For my CAS card I used the MFP Stamp Shop Love Remains stamp set.  I created a stencil using a heart die and then used distressed ink to lay down the color.  The image and sentiment were stamped using Memento Black ink and the image colored using Copic Markers.

 

We hope you'll share your CAS (clean and simple) heart themed cards with us this week.  You can find the challenge HERE.

Ruby's Rainbow Challenge - Anything Goes!

 

Ruby's Rainbow Challenge theme "anything goes" was chosen by DT member Debbie.

We hope you'll share your anything goes projects with us at Ruby's Rainbow Challenge.  You can find the challenge HERE.

Altered Eclectics February Challenge

 

The Altered Eclectics Challenges are always anything goes as long as it is Mixed Media, Recycled, Upcycled, or Altered items.

 

For my February project I altered a tablespoon!  My wonderful husband used a rubber mallet to pound the bowl of the spoon as flat as he could get it!  I then used Ranger Alcohol inks to give the dull silver spoon some color.  I embellished the spoon with a string of adhesive pearls on the handle, some paper flowers, a multi-looped bow, a metal Prima flower and a butterfly.  (This project was very difficult to get a good, clear photograph.)

 

We hope to see your altered projects this month!  You can enter the challenge HERE.
