    Super Ways to Use It Challenge (WT359) on Splitcoast! I love to pick my own challenges! This one is really CAS which is odd for me, but I had help because of the 4 WT challenges I chose for this has us case a card in our faves. WT353 Use it or lose it and the one I used was THIS fab card. I’m also using 3 other WT’s from this past year: Oval-icious – WT319 , I Heart You – WT308 and Pink, Pink, Pink! – WT344. Whew! If all those links come out right, I’ll be surprised!

    The image is a new one from DRS Designs and it’s all one image but I stamped it twice and die cut it w/ 2 sizes of classic ovals. I was so happy to see how perfect it fit! I added a little color w/ some markers and attached it to kelly green fancy label.

    The backgrounds were all embossed w/ the same ef and quickly attached to kelly green layers. The middle one is slightly larger than the others just to make it look right. I added some scored lines and my 5.50 x 4.25 card was finished.

    This is also for the DRS Thursday Challenge. It’s easy and you don’t have to use DRS images to enter for a chance to win some fabulous images. Come check it out!

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    For my field of Heart Flowers, I stamped the grass across the front of a vanilla panel. The various hearts were stamped, cut out and popped up on top of the blades of grass. I added a little color to some areas of the hearts using a combination of Tombow markers and Prismacolor pencils. I already had this dp from Cosmo Cricket picked out and it turned out to  be a really tough color of red to match. The only way I could come close was using both the markers and pencils.  I added some little crystals on top of the hearts. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    And here’s the page from my notebook. Can’t tell you how many different red inks I tried before deciding the lipstick red chalk ink came the closest.

    For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge at Splitcoast (WT328), we were not to use ANY white c/s. This is a special wedding card and I didn’t use any white c/s. I found the outside little ribbon/tulle centerpiece and Mr & Mrs tag on clearance and I added a die cut fancy tag out of metallic gold in between the two for the main item on the outside.

    All images Our Daily Bread designs. I used two sizes of the Labels 17 to make a frame thru the ivory shimmer and brushed gold c/s and behind them I stamped the crochet bg in gold ink. I added some wide ribbon before attaching it to my A7 ivory card.

    The big surprise w/ this card is the inside so I’d love for you to check out the next pic. I just love paper engineering but this one really tested me, lol!

    I gold embossed the greeting on ivory c/s, die cut w/ a Labels 10 and attached it on top of a brushed gold Fancy Tag. On a slightly smaller (than the A7 ivory card) piece of vanilla c/s I placed the pattern I found for the Wedding Cake on a lovely blog I came across. I love popups and I haven’t done one in a long time so I gave it a try. After doing all the cutting and scoring, it took a while to get all the folds going the right way. Then I added the scallop top pieces to the cake along w/ some punched flowers.

    I think the happy couple (my DH’s nephew!) will be surprised when they open it!

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
