Addicted To Stamps and More

I have exciting news to share with you - I am now part of the Addicted to Stamps and More DT!


It is just wonderful to be part of this fantastic team! 
This weeks challenge is themed "Make your Mark", which I interpreted as using your markers. So I pulled out almost all my Copics for this.


I used a Sizzix embossing folder and then colored in the valleys of the striped pattern. I added the black border on the left - the card needed some definition. The sentiment panel I sewed onto the card base. The sentiment is by STAMPlorations from the Subway Art Builder series - Create. I used the left over thread to string up some sequins. 

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is 


The winner will receive 5 free digis of her choice!

So come on over to the ATSM challenge blog  and get some inspiration from our wonderful DT and we hope you find time to join in the fun!

LOVE your clever idea of using your Copics to create the striped pattern on your card! The black strip along the side really adds so much balance to your design, and your stitched sentiment panel is perfect! Awesome card, my friend!

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
