Layered retiform Card

 This is a card that I made for this week's Technique Lover's Challenge at Splitcoast stampers .  

I have to honest ...I didn't do a great job with the technique...after 3 tries...(that didn't work)  I used my background paper as a frame for my card.  Your over supposed to layer your colors over each other.  I didn't do something right.  They all kind of turned out the same ...looking like mud.

So I did my own thing...smile

My stamped image is from SweetnSassy (Morning Glory)  I heat embossed it and colored it with copics.  and Used a die cut from Spell Binders to frame my picture.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.

Embossing folders

 I made this card for the Technique Lover's challenge at Split Coast Stampers.

The challenge was that you were to use two embossing folders on the same card.  It wasn't quite as easy as I thought it would be...but I finally did come up with a card using Distressed stripes, and Stylized flowers embossing folders made by Cuttlebug.

I have so many embossing folders that I have not even used...

so I am glad for this challenge... it made me get out the box that I had them in, and see if I could come up with something.  I am going to try to see if I can use some of the others later on.

It's going to be either use it...or lose it!  Smile.

Pinwheel Quilt card

 I made the above Pinwheel quilt card fot two challenges at Split Coast Stampers.  The one was the Technique Lover's challenge.  I have used many different techniques on my cards through the years.  I had not done this technique before.  I have been a member of Split Coast since 2007 and I was surprised to realize recently that I had only done two sketch challenges, and now I realize that I only entered the technique Lovers challenge 7 times.

The challenge I had entered the most was the Teapot challenges.  I have entered over 60 of those...  but I had stopped even doing those challenges.  I need to get back to all of those so I can be inspired to finally start using up more of my many years of stash that I have in my craft room.

Thank you for visiting my blog today...
