Blog Hop at Pretty Pink Posh

Pretty Pink Posh is having a Cutting Edge Blog Hop this weekend.  You can create a project that incorporates at least one die and upload it over here.

I made another Christmas card for the hop, this time using a lot of Distress Inks and some Phrase Bubble Dies from Hero Arts.

I created an ombre background using Distress Inks in blues and purples and sprayed the piece with Perfect Pearls for a little shimmer.

I gathered up an assortment of holiday sentiments from Hero Arts and stamped them onto a bunch of die cut Phrase Bubbles.  I added some tiny snowflake images onto the die cuts and added little dots of Stickles to the centre of each snowflake.

I think this is a fun nontraditional holiday card and will likely create some more Distress backgrounds in other colours to make additional cards.

I'm also entering this card at A Blog Named Hero for the Ombre Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and wishing you an inky weekend!

The Cutting Edge

It's my first time playing in The Cutting Edge Challenge, but I do have to mention that it is only the 2nd challenge over there. It's a newbie challenge blog so go check it out here and see what it's all about!

Here is the inspiration photo.

Don't you just love the drippy colours!

Here's my take on it.

I watercoloured my background in colours similar to the inspiration project and used Paper Smooches Super 2 Die.  I framed the scene with thin strips of black paper, added my sentiment and a few gems.

I'm also entering this for Paper Smooches Anything Goes Challenge and Virginia's View Challenge #5, use dies on your project.

Thanks for popping by today!
