Addicted to Stamps & More! Bingo Challenge #4

Morning everyone.......... well it's a new challenge over at Addicted to Stamps & More! and this week it is a Bingo challenge.  All you have to do is choose a line either horizontally, vertically or diagonally and make your card from the three elements you've chosen.  Here is the bingo card:

I've chosen diagonally with Orange, Free and White and have taken a little bit of artistic license by using gilding flakes "Sunset" which is mostly coppers.    So orange is the gilding flakes, free are my stamps and white is the base card.  I've inked my Clarity Stamps Hummingbird stamp with FlitterGlu and stamped onto a white pearl cardstock panel.  I then added the gilding flakes, rubbed over and then used a scoochy pad (like a soft Brillo pad!) to buff up.  I put some red liner tape around the edges of the cardstock and used the same method to add the gilding.  The sentiment is from Penny Black and is popped up on foam pads.  This was then layered on a DL card.

Addicted to Stamps & More! Sketch Challenge #3

Hi folks

Welcome to another Wednesday and another challenge over at Addicted to Stamps & More!  This week it's a sketch challenge:

I've used an 8x8 square card base and then taken some Christmas b/p from my stash which I've backed with a piece of gilded vellum.  I then ran this through my Joy using a square nestie with the embossing plates so I had a guide through which I could cut my diagonals.  I cut very carefully using my craft knife diagonally from corner to corner to enable me to fold/roll back each section showing the vellum.  I then attached each corner to the main piece using a gold brad.  I thought it was lacking some definition so I added a gold border around the aperture.  This was then matted onto another piece of gold card and attached to the main card.  I've used two corners in red using my Memory Box

Foiled border

snowflake corner.    The flowers have been made using my two sizes of Nellie Snellen Poinsettia cut and emboss punches and I've added gems to the centres; the holly leaves are die cut from Marianne LR0244.  For the bottom border I place a piece of red liner tape across the card and then put gilding flakes on top.  The sentiment is from a Chocolate Baroque set Pears & Baubles (which I was lucky enough to win), gold embossed and matted and layered.  I've added some gems to the corners to finish.

Thanks for coming to visit.  Hope you've enjoyed your stay.  Please pop over to the ATS&M! site to see all the amazing inspiration provided by the talented Design Team.
