Papertrey Ink November 2016 Blog Hop Challenge

Hello! Here’s the inspiration photo for this month.

I really love the look of gold and hawaiian shores. Since I didn’t have any cardstick with me, I decided to blend some hawaiian shores ink with a mini round blending tool. I then stamped the smallest round dot from the Bits & Buttons Mini Stamp set and embossing it with gold embossing powder.

I finished off the card with the sentiment and the pine needles embossed in white on a piece of black cardstock. I drew a few circles with the Versamark pen and embossed it gold too and then adhered the black panel to the bottom of the card.

Thanks for stopping by.Have a lovely weekend.

Stamps: PTI Peaceful Pinecones, PTI Bits & Buttons Mini Stamp set, PTI Silent Night

SSS wednesday challenge: animal magic

Hello everyone! It's winter solstice here in the southern hemisphere. And even though it's cold and wet, it is perfect for card making. Here's my card for this week's Wednesday challenge. I stamped the image and then coloured it with copics. For the background, I blended some distress inks and then blended some more using the large dot stencil. I then added some glossy accents on the balloon and the party hat and finished off the card with a white embossed sentiment on some black cardstock.
