New challenge Eclectic Ellapu *

Hi all 

This month the challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu for the PINK TEAM is TRAVEL and for the PURPLE TEAM is FAVORITE HOLIDAYS.  As I am on the pink team I had to make a project reflecting travel.  I made a card for my stash.  I used a Katzelkraft stamp and 3 different desiner papers from Craftwork cards range of En Vogue - gorgeous papers.  The sentiment is from IndigoBlu.  I added a little color to the drivers of the car using my distress markers.

Now for the pics

Why not head on over to Eclectic Ellapu and join in with the challenges

Fathers day card - *

Tonight I am sharing with you my fathers day card - yes made well ahead of time just got to make sure I remember where I stash it lol.  Am I the only one that loses things that are right in front of your nose lol.

I used 3 paper designs matted onto to black card.  I stamped the bicycle image from the transport set and matted it onto the same cardstock.  I used my word thingymajiggy for the sentiment and that too matted onto the same cardstock. I swiped grey ink over both the imagey and wording.

That's it all done - now for the pics

Tried something simple...... D

to try get my mojo back.  I feel right at this moment that my creativity has walked out the door.  I hate not knowing what to do next, what style, what project.  So I sat at my table with a blank tag.  I covered the back with distress inks.  

Out came one of my stamp boxes - there are so many I have not used yet.  I grabbed the 'I'm so special' set by Katzelkraft.  I used the background stamp obviously for the background lol.  I then stamped and embossed Mr Special himself.  I love him.... just so special!  

I then used mica fragments down the side and frantage copper to the left.  I then triple embossed the entire tag to give it a really top shine.  I attached a ribbon with a stapler.  That was it.  Simple and a little satisfying that I achieved something.

Well how simple was that lol.  Instant gratification! well almost instant.

Thanks for dropping by and please please call again.
