♥ you are No 1...friend ♥

Happy TGIF! Hope you are enjoying your day so far! I had a few extra minutes (How did that happen?) to go up to my craft room and create something for fun! :) When I saw today's Free For All Challenge at SCS, I knew I wanted to make something for it! This week's challenge is to make a one layer card and then add embellishments. So only one layer of cardstock... no extra paper layers! One layer cards are always a challenge for me, so I was looking forward to getting out of my comfort zone for this one!

I stamped the background images onto a white cardstock base using the Bo Bunny Distressed Textures Clear Stamp Set. I used various colors of Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I then added some Prima Coffee Break Ephemera and Macchiato Flower. The stamped sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Words Clear Stamp Set. One of my favorite SSS stamp sets! I could use it over and over again! The gold sequins are also from the Prima Coffee Break Ephemera Pack.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

♥ SCS Love Fest Challenge by Simon Says Stamp ♥

Happy Saturday! Have you seen all of the fabulous Love Fest Challenges over at Splitcoast?? Well, if you haven't make sure you check them out! There are many fun daily challenges and great prizes up for grabs!

Today Simon Says Stamp is hosting a challenge! It's called "Die Crazy"! Create a card using a die or dies and upload to the SSS Love Fest Challenge Forum using the Keyword LOVEFEST2014I! (the last letter is a capital i)  You can find it HERE!

Here is the 1st card I made for the challenge. I used lots of great dies on this one. I first started with Spellbinders Stately Circles Dies. I half embossed and half cut the larger circle die. You can see the fun tutorial on how to make it HERE.

Next I used the pretty Chrissy and Leanna Butterfly Dies by Simon Says Stamp and the Filigree Corner Die by La La Land Crafts. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp's Apothecary Labels Set. I also used some White Opal Liquid Pearls and some string gems and pearls.

On this card, I used the Pointed Feathers and Large Heart Dies by Simon Says Stamp. Love those cute feathers!! I used papers from the Homemade With Love line by Carta Bella.

I also used some clear sequins, White Woodgrain cardstock by Simon Says Stamp and the sentiment is by Clearly Besotted, Love Quotes Clear Stamp Set.
