A little bit different....

 Merry Christmas in July!!

Roni here with another creation for the Lost Coast Challenge - Christmas in July.

I wanted to use some non-traditional stamps to create this card so I used the Girl With a Curl for the focal image which was stamped on kraft cardstock using black ink.  To create the background I used the Daisy Flourish which was stamped multiple times using Green Oasis Versafine Clair ink pad.  To finish the card off I stamped the sentiment from  Party Words and added a few sequins for a bit of bling.

Steamy Christmas Wishes

Welcome Welcome my friends!!

Today I wanted to share a fun card for the current challenge over at Lost Coast Designs...

#171 Christmas in July. 

I thought it would be fun to play around with a Steampunk Christmas so I stamped and colored the Gears 2 background using various shades of red and green markers in my stash.  I then colored the Steampunk Heart using the same colors.  I trimmed the background to fit onto a red card base then added a bit of burlap, the heart and sentiment from the Party Words set.

Hope you join in on the fun with Christmas in July!!

I Pledge Folk Art Angle Card

 Hello friends...a new challenge is up over at Lost Coast Designs - 

Challenge #170 Red, White and Blue!! 

Very excited about this challenge...

such a fun way to celebrate this country's independence...

I used the image called Pledge for this card.  I decided she would be perfect to paper piece so I stamped it once onto confetti cardstock using black ink then a second time on white cardstock using Tulip Red ink and clear embossing powder.  Finally I stamped it a third time using Versa Mark ink and white embossing powder on blue cardstock.  I then fussy cut the various parts and assembled her on the black inked image.  The panel was mounted on a piece of Club Scrap musical cardstock and affixed to a red card.  I had some glittery star brads for the perfect finishing touch :)

Hope you can find the time to join in on this fun challenge!
