Another Cameo

This is my second card for the Moxie Fab World challenge to use Cameos.  Here is the link:  http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/01/moxie-fab-world-challenge-appearance-of.html.  I used the sketch from Stamp TV this week, but I turned it on it's side



I had a cameo ring when I was younger and I used the colors to match my ring.

I stamped the floral image from Gina K's Stamp TV Kit - Spring Mix with Versamark on Ivory cardstock and heat embossed with White Pearls ep, cut out with a Nesties oval and sponged VersaMagic ink in Pink Carnation over the whole area then layered it onto a gold scalloped oval.  Adhered the lace to the peach ribbon with ScorTape 1/8" and adhered these to the Ivory layer with 1/4" ScorTape.  The sentiment rectangle was edged with a Prismacolor marker in gold.  The scalloped coral layer is from a card pack I bought on clearance at Michael's a few years ago.  The overall measurements are 4 1/4" x 5 3/4".

The Appearance of Cameos

Moxie Fab World has a challenge going on:  The Appearance of Cameos found here http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/01/moxie-fab-world-challenge-appearance-of.html.
Also, the JUGS Wild Card Challenge #69 this week is to create a 3-D flower.

I chose to use a floral image for my cameo.  The image was stamped with Versamark on GKD Pure Luxury Ivory cs then heat embossed with White Pearls ep to give it the dimention that a cameo has.  After the embossed image cooled, I sponged light purple chalk ink over the entire piece while still in the Nesties die.  Layered this onto a dark purple circle then onto the Gina K Designs Lovely Labels 2 by Nina Brackett which was stamped in Memento Grape Jelly on Ivory cs.  The 3-D flower was made by punching 6 scalloped circles out of light weight ivory cs, wrinkling them all up by wadding into a ball, flattening them back out then placed on top of each other and anchored with a brad that you can't see.  Then took the light purple chalk ink and rubbed it against the edges of the petals.  Added the Martha Stewart leafy branch punches and layered it all onto the purple flourishy dp from a chipboard pack that I bought a long time ago and then onto the dark purple base.

You Know You're Old When...

This week's color challenge on Stamp TV is to use Onyx Black, Red Hot and White.  I used the CardPatterns Sketch 99 found here http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2011/01/sketch-99.html



My Little Old Lady card

I love the Gina K Design's set You Know You're Old When... and this little old lady just seemed like the perfect image for the circle layer.  She was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Gina K Pure Luxury white cs and colored with Prismacolor markers.  Nesties circles were used for the layers.  Dug deep into my dp scrap box and found the polka dots and striped dp and layered them onto the GK Rocket Red (I didn't have any Red Hot) and punched the upper edge with the Fiskar's Threading Water punch.  Finished it off with the black gingham ribbon from Gina K and used a Bow Easy to tie the bow.  Layered onto a white base, quick and easy.

Heart Box

At Just Us Girls there is a challenge to make a Valentine Treat Container http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/. I needed a treat box for a boy so I went with nontraditional Valentine colors so that this could be used to store little objects all year round.

Started with a chipboard heart box and painted it with craft paint in blue.  Covered it with coordinating papers from Pebbles Inc. - Party Time Boy, using Aleene's Instant Decoupage in Matte finish.  Added 2 coats of the Instant Decoupage over the top of the dp.  Decorated the top with chipboard surfboards covered with dp and added Sakura Stardust gel pen accents/designs and letter D sprayed with Glimmer Mist in Riptide.  Stamped the palm tree and little Woody vehicle, colored with Prismacolor markers, then cut them out.  Layered onto Nesties die cuts and added the large flourish die cut.
Hope he likes it!

Sweets for the Sweet

I was inspired by the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/01/tuesday-trigger-sweets-for-sweet.html and the sketch at Mojo Monday http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/.

Here is the Trigger inspiration

and the sketch

Here is what I came up with

I used Tami Mayberry's Happy Hearts by Gina K Designs inked in Versamark then with Memento Rose Bud and heat embossed with clear ep.  Punched out the larger heart with an EK Success scalloped heart punch and cut out the smaller heart.  The dp is by Basic Grey Two Scoops/Swirl.  Used a piece of ribbon from by ribbon jar.  Nesties circle and scalloped circle were used for the hearts layer.  Then I had to come up with some sort of treatment for the upper left circle and found the felt photo corner, which I adhered upside down, added the pink floss bow and then the Paper Shapers flourish which I cut off the pieces I wanted to use.  White cs was used for the layers and base.  The pink cs is by DCWV Premium Stack.  Finished it off with the pink Dew Drops.
