Glitter N Sparkle Week #171 Monochrome design using Limited Runs Digital Stamps

Good Morning and welcome to my blog today

It's Sunday already and that mean just one thing it's
Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Blog day

This week the theme is Monochrome

And going by the Dt samples that can mean a whole range of great ideas.

I went for traditional shades of grey for my sample which includes a great image by

Limited Runs Digital Stamps

The Image is called Watermelon and is great for all sorts of occasions.

Here is the finished card:

I have layered the card with plain black card stock by Ross Papercrafts, The pattern papers used are by Kaiser Crafts and the sentiment is also from one of the 6"x6" pads. Ribbon by Meiflower and pearls from my own stash.

Here is a close up of the watermelon design, I used my Promarkers for this project as I had all 5 of the Cool greys & black for the theme.

Cool Grey 1 - 5 used to create this image - Which I duplicated on the 3 identical glasses

To finish each image I added glossy accents on to the glass areas for added effect.

I love this design now it's finished and it is very striking.

Have a great week and see you all next time.

Feeling the love and getting ready for Valentine's Day - Sami Stamps Blog Challenge Entry

Good Evening and I felt like I should be entering more blog challenges and so I decided to start with this one tonight. 

Sami Stamps have a challenge as you can see Use red being the theme.

So I went over and purchased a couple of digital stamps to use ( I have used Sami Stamps before on a Glitter N Sparkle Challenge and I know how great they are)

I decided for this challenge I wanted to start my Valentine's Cards so here is the start of the project.

I have decided to create a neat 6" x 6" card and have used the following items:

Kaiser Crafts Curiosity Paper Pad ( Pin stripe panel)

First Edition J'adore Paper Pad

Now the image I purchased is called On Your Arm

I have coloured the couple with my Promarkers:

Berry & Poppy Red for the Dress

Raw Sienna and Burnt Sienna for the lady's Hair

Blush, Saffron & Pastel Pink for skin on both

Burnt Sienna on His Hair

Black on the suit and Blender pen for effect.

I have matted and layered the backings and 3d foamed the couple on to the card.

I have used a wooden fleur de lis, Black satin ribbon and finished the card off with a 'Love' sentiment ( Art Impressions Stamp) stamped on paper from the First Edition J'adore pad and I have cut to make a pennant shape and again fixed that with foam sticky fixers too.

Sami Stamps have some absolutely stunning digital images for you to purchase and even have a few freebies too.

Fingers crossed the Sami Stamps team will like my design.

Thanks for looking

Hugs
