Essentials by Ellen April Mix It Up Challenge and SSS Wednesday Challenge

Ellen Hutson has a new Mix It Up Challenge for April. You have to use products from Ellen Hutson Essentials and Lawn Fawn. This is what I came up with.

I used the Bold Blossoms Stand Alone Die to cut some watercolor paper that I colored with some Twinkling H2O. I cut the sentiment using the Lawn Fawn Cole's ABC dies from watercolor paper that was colored with yellow Twinkling H2O. I positioned the dies so that the letters would have the plain paper on the top of the letters. Glued the components on a black piece of cardstock cut with a stitched rectangle die, then glued it to a cream cardbase.

No Bulk Shaker Card

This was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's card. I used the SSS Stitched Rectangles to cut out the window on the front of the card. For the Happy Birthday sentiment, I die cut the letters from black glitter paper using this die set from Paper Smooches. Instead of just putting a piece of transparency behind the window, I lined it with some old paper from DCWV.

This is another entry for the SSS Wednesday Challenge.

A new card with the removable stickers

Maybe I should name this my Sticker Series.

I used the flower stickers and Wild Honey Distress ink, then stamped the sentiment from this set in black. Mounted the card panel on some black cardstock and glued the card front to a cream card base.

Time for another birthday card ;)

I used some of the Butterfly removable stickers from Michael's and inked over them with Milled Lavender and Tumbled Glass distress inks. Stamped a sentiment from an old Hero Arts set in Archival Jet Black ink, and done.

Another card for the SSS Wednesday Challenge and SSS Monday Challenge.

More pastel cards

Using that removable sticker that I got from Michael's with Worn Lipstick distress ink resulted into these cards. The sentiment came from this stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.

Another birthday card for another day

I saw these removable stickers at Michael's and thought that they would work great as stencils.

And they worked great! No taping needed. I used Milled Lavender distress ink applied with a round foam applicator. The sentiment came from a PTI set (happy) and Little Yellow Bicycle (birthday) that I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby.

Simon Says Stamp Monday and Wednesday Challenge

Pastels are the theme for the Monday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
I made birthday cards because I always need them.

Since Birthdays are the theme for the Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp, I will be linking my card there too.

Using a pre-printed card from an invitation kit, I clear embossed the sentiment Make A Wish, then painted over with some Twinkling H2O in pink, yellow and green,

I wished I would have embossed in black or brown, so that the sentiment was more visible.

Live and learn, I guess.
