Time for me to post on the a2z Scrapbooking Blog with a card to inspire you to join our January challenge--NEW. Links to my supplies are included in the post. I've used a stamp, stencil & technique for the first time. I knew stencils could be used to emboss & finally got around to trying it. My Big Shot sandwich was Tab 1, embossing pad, cutting plate, stencil, cardstock, embossing pad, cutting plate. Worked great my first try!
Aren't these funky squares fun?! The little ladybug is stamped in Neon Red & Wink Of Stella is brushed on the wings. I used a craft knife to cut out an area for my sentiment which is heat embossed. The panel is mounted with foam tape & little black enamel dots finish it off. Pretty flat card for mailing which is always a plus. This is a good time to use a technique you've been wanting to try & enter our challenge for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate.
The STORE has lots of sale items right now including the Neon Red ink pad & lots of stamp sets. You can use my discount code, GRETA15, to get 15% off your $25 minimum purchase.
This will be my 3rd entry for Darnell's NBUS challenge. Be sure to check it out--still lots of time to enter. I know you'll enjoy her blog if you don't already.Edited to Add: Also entering SSS Wednesday--Something New.
Edited to Add: Also entering the new challenge at Virginia's View since there's a lot of white space on this card.

ReplyDeleteWell, isn't that marvelous! I had no idea stencils can be used to emboss! I am so trying this when I finally open up my as-yet NBUS Big Shot (my cuttlebug still works perfectly, but just in case..I have a brand-spanking new machine for back-up *grin*).Funky squares, cutie-pie ladybugs...such fun!
