Here's a couple more cards I did for the SCS Feb VSN:
STAMPS: Roses in Winter. CS: Confetti White, Always Artichoke, Mellow Moss, Bravo Burgundy. INK: Always Artichoke, Mellow Moss, Bravo Burgundy. ACCESSORIES: Dimensionals, Cutter Kit, May Arts Ribbon.
The challenge was to use one of your favorite songs as the inspiration for your card. It took me a while - but I finally settled on 'Every Rose Has it's Thorn' by Poison (not totally original and pretty easy but oh well! LOL). I *heart* that song - and this card was really easy to do -definitely under 15 minutes!
The sentiment was stamped then I added some ribbon I got from StarLitStudio, and matted it onto CS that I distressed using the SU! cutter kit.
STAMPS: Weather or Not (retired), a*muse lowercase polka-dot clear alphabet, Karen Foster snap stamps. CS: Very Vanilla, Creamy Caramel, Bashful Blue. INK: ColorBox Fluid Chalk Cat's Eye ink pads in Alabaster, Creamy Brown, and Ice Blue. ACCESSORIES: Yarn, Cutter Kit, CuttleBug Snowflakes A2 Embossing Folder.
For this one the challenge was to use yarn or fibers on the card and bonus points if you used a mitten image. So I used the retired Weather or Not set, some yarn from the stash I have from the throw I'm crocheting for our living room (a work in progress that's for sure), and of course my new CuttleBug Snowflakes A2 embossing folder.
I used Colorbox Cat's Eye Fluid Chalk inks for the whole card - they look really nice in real life but it was really hard to get a decent picture of it!! I rubbed them onto the embossed snowflakes, and used them to get the multi-colored mittens - they are so small and easy to get different colors on one image w/ b/c of their shape.
I made the sentiment using the a*muse lowercase Polka-dot Alphabet for the 'cold' and my Karen Foster Snap Stamps (the smallest casual font set) for the rest.
You can see the first couple of cards I did for the VSN challenges here.
