We have a new challenge at As You See It!  Another fun sketch!

I started by die cutting several wreath branches in different greens and adhered together.

I added a paper ribbon and then attached small buttons and pearls around it.  Finally I added the sentiment!

Help us celebrate 100 challenges!!

I am so excited to be celebrating 100 challenges!  When I started this challenge, I never dreamed we would still be going at 100! 

You may just be starting the blog hop or hopped here from Jan Clothier.

I opted for the balloons, ink smooshing and glitter for my card!  I am using this sweet balloon giraffe from Close To My Heart Balloon Animals from 2016.  I heat embossed it in white on a piece of water color paper.

I also heat embossed the sentiment before doing my ink smooshing.  I die cut the watercolor paper, adhered to the card base and added glitter dots and rhinestones.

It’s a new challenge for As You See It!  It’s a fun sketch so make sure you play along!

I started by attaching several pieces of pattern paper to white cardstock.  Then I die cut the rectangle shape using my double stitched dies.  I then backed the piece with some perfect plum.

I attached the rectangle to the white card base and then added a popped up sentiment and some bling.  This card is going to a dear friend who is retiring and who also loves purple!

Welcome to a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  It’s Anything Goes!

I opted for a fall card!  I started by swishing some cajun craze ink on my card base and then added a polka dot tag die over the top.

I die cut a couple of leaves and added to the tag.  Finally I added a sentiment from my Papertrey Ink Autumn Hills stamp set from 2012.  A little twine finishes off the tag.

It’s a lovely new challenge at House of Cards!  For this challenge you must use gold or pearl accents or the colors in the challenge image.

I opted for a gold and white theme.  I started with three die cuts of wine glasses and a congratulations sentiment.

Something about gold makes me think of happy occasions and we are entering the holiday season so it seemed appropriate.

I finished off the card with a few gold accents and my trusty linen impression plate.
