Epstein

I love these new little Owl stamps that Rubbernecker Stamps is making! This one is Epstein:


I used a Cuttlebug mini hearts embossing folder for the front of the card. I used the Rubbernecker sentiment "Just A Word", along with their nested circle die set to create the rest of the card. I had some neutral colored sparklies that I glued on the cheesecloth, layered under the circles. 

Below are the direct links to the Rubbernecker products I used on this card:

Once Upon a Time Challenge at Aurora Wings


It is the midway point of our Once Upon a Time challenge at Aurora Wings. It is time for the Stella Team to bring you some inspiration for the second half of the challenge. Your creation should be inspired by a fairy tale, and mine is inspired by Snow White and the evil queen who doesn't want to give up her title of being the fairest in the land. I used the image "Dark Princess" for my project. 

Dark Princess
I coloured the image with Copics. For her headpiece, I used gunmetal and frost colored Stickles. It is actually very sparkly in person, but I had a hard time catching it with a camera. The angled picture below, hopefully, gives you a better idea of what I did. For the rest of my card I wanted to keep the dark feeling, so I used the Distress Mini Square Background stamp from Rubbernecker Stamps on a red mat, then darkened up the edges of that with some black distress ink. I added a few black pearls at the bottom right corner, and glued on some red and black flowers. 


Below are the direct links to the stamp I used at the Etsy store and the Aurora Wings digi shop:

Joyous Occasion


We are at the halfway point of our Joyous Occasion challenge on the Aurora Wings Challenge blog. It is time for the Stella Team to bring you our inspiration pieces for the next half of the challenge, and I made a birthday card for my niece using "Marie Antoinette". I cropped the image and printed it out at about 4" square. I really wanted to get into the fine details of this image which is why I cropped it and printed it off bigger than usual (my norm is 3.5"). My completed card is 5x5 inches.


I coloured the image with Copics. I used white vellum for the back mat, then layered cheesecloth and lace on top of that. I matted my image on black so it would really pop, and I love the contrast you get layering on black. My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

Now pop on over to the challenge blog, if you haven't been there already, check out the other inspiration pieces and show us what you got! This challenge runs through  June 16.
