Here is my card for Sparkle & Shine card using Pretty Pink Posh products.


Happily ever after 1

To make this card, I made a landscape card base using white cardstock. I then stamped the confetti dots from Congratulations stamp set from Simon Says Stamp using Versafine Black ink. Then on a separate white panel, I die cut Brilliant Gift border die from Simon Says Stamp and the scalloped border using Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Border 2 die. To the back of this panel, I adhered acetate sheet. I also die cut the Brilliant Gifts border die using black glitter paper and inlaid this die in its place on the white panel. I added foam adhesives around the die cut area on the back of the panel, added the newly iridescent sequins from Pretty Pink Posh called Lavender Moon and Bermuda Blue. I also added the new soon to be released beautiful baby pink iridescent sequins. Love the colours together. I closed the back with another white panel to make a shaker panel.

The sentiment was silver heat embossed on the front of this panel. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Congratulations set. I used the negative dew drop black glitter die cut from the Brilliant Gifts die to embellish the sentiment. Finally I adhered this panel on the card front. Love the subtle sparkle from the black glitter paper and the sequins.

Runway Inspired Challenge #88

Afternoon everyone!

It is time for new Runway Inspired Challenge #88. Are you ready?





source: style.com

Very typical Missoni outfit. Zigzag/chevron pattern is his trade mark. Intially, I wanted to use chevron stamp set or dies on my card but them I decided to against it. I wanted to use the colours from the outfit and a pattern on the background instead. Here is my take on the challenge.

Happy Birthday card

For the background, I die cut this fishnet pattern using MFT's Fishnet Cover plate die. I then randomly trimmed off the edges as I wanted an uneven background. I adhered this on the white card base by applying glue to only a few places at the centre of the die cut. I wanted the edges to be raised.

Next, I stamped and copic coloured the flowers from  Magnolias for Her stamp set from Altenew. I picked the colours from Missoni's outfit. I like blending different colours. A bit difficult but super fun. Then cut out the flowers by hand. I clustered the flowers and bud and adhered using glue on the bottom of the flowers and foam on the top to give the raised effect. The sentiment is from  Birthday Greetings stamps et also from Altenew. To bring the card together, I used doodlebug's yellow and pink sprinkles dots. Here is a closeup photo.
