Eternally Yours

The Paper Players are holding their 100th challenge! Congrats to them!

Their challenge is to use any past challenge!

So I started looking through the challenges to see what inspired me and I found Challenge #19. Use Red, Black and White!

Those just happen to be my favorite colors :)

I started digging and remembered a wonderful DCWV stack called Immortal Love. So I looked up DCWV's card sketch for this month and got started.

I started out thinking I was going to stay pretty true to the sketch, but my doiley was bigger than I thought it was! It was a white doiley that I inked with Quick Quotes Poweder Puff ink in Midnight Confession and Marchino Cherry. The ribbon is from my stash.

The sticker is from Creative Imaginations. It worked so perfectly with the papers! The bling is from Want2Scrap.

I think I will hold onto this to use for my boyfriend the next time he does something nice. Which, knowing him, will be soon :)

Thanks for joining me this week.

Next week I have another card, another layout and my first design team project!

Have a great weekend :)

2 cards in 1 night

I had one night to get 2 cards done last week for this weekend. The good news is that I got them done! There really isn't bad news.... yay!

The first card was for a wedding for my boyfriend's cousin's wedding this past Saturday. We talked about go-to cards last week, and this is definitely my go-to card for a wedding. I used all neutral colors since I wasn't sure what her wedding colors were.

The heart is an old punch I got from somewhere.... I cut 1/2in strips of paper in black gray and silver (the silver is from SU! the other paper is from a paper by the pound local store) and weaved them together. Glued that behind the heart punch and layered like so. The pearls are just pre-stuck bling I had in my stash.
The second card I needed was for my boyfriend. This Sunday was our 1 year anniversary. I didn't want to make anything to mushy and girly for him, but it had to be right for the occasion. Here is what I came up with

Sorry, the lighting for these pictures was horrible. I don't have the best lighting in my apartment.....
So this was made with pattern paper from an old DCWV paper stack. I used a white base with pattern paper on top. I used SU!'s top note die for the main focus mat. The 3 punches from SU!'s label punch were from a matching pattern paper from DCWV. The stamp is from SU!'s Sage Advice and I used bliss blue to stamp and to sponge the die cut. Again, I used some random pre-stuck bling to finish it off. The boyfriend loved it, along with the wall mounted guitar holder I got him :)
