For the Inspiration Challenge (IC913), we’re visiting My Modern Met & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS clock to use as my inspiration.

I loved the colors in the inspiration clock so I tried to keep them. I die cut the clock face out of black then used some Distress Oxide inks to sponge the patterns on it, since the oxide ink is pretty much the only ink that will show up on black. I added the fancy die cut black rectangle & cut 2 of the fancy ovals out of lime green, then arranged them behind the clock face.

I added some turquoise & lime rhinestones around the clock face & resized the die for the greeting panel.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s my turn & my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge this week! So a big congrats to Catherine, the newest Featured Stamper. She has a lovely, fun gallery & I saw many I wanted to case..but I finally chose THIS. (I actually saw a lot of cards w/ stars!) I love the stars, so I kept those, but used a die instead of a stamp for the stars, used different colors & made mine a graduation card.

My card is pretty CAS, I had a bg…actually a lg white envelope that I kept under my card stock when I was sponging, spraying & what not, & it looked so pretty & glittery, I saved it. I die cut the Stars out of the front & added the bg behind it. I put the white outline back in place & used a silver Wink of Stella on some. It was really surprising to me how much sparkle it added in comparison to the clear I used on the capital letters of the greeting & a couple of the other white star frames. I added some diplomas & mortarboards in the left corner.

Here’s the inside.

For the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast, we’re visiting the Disney Music Emporium. I’ll be honest, at first I couldn’t figure out what I was going to do. So after viewing EVERYTHING, I decided to go w/ the black, white & red colors of THIS. I thought those colors would be great for a grad card.
My card is pretty easy. I die cut the fun diamonds border out of black & the separate center diamond out of red. That central piece looks kind of like a mortarboard so I made a little tassel w/ some metallic gold thread & attached a Candi dot on top. I used my Misti to stamp the greeting  underneath along w/ the silhouette grad caps on the top section. Since they’re so solid, I stamped them a couple of times.

Here’s the inside.
