Make a Medallion Card - DSC#223

Hi Stampers,

Take a look at this weeks DOstamper Thursday DSC#223 Sketch Pad Challenge!  It is hard to believe that the first four upper squares on my card are really made with four separate 2" square paper pieces. Once I added the Basic Gray Photo Corners to the four upper squares it made a really unique pattern that even I didn't expect. But, if you look closely, you will see that it is actually four separate little squares with the Flirty Flamingo CS showing between them.  This weeks card uses the Make a Medallion Stamp Set which is one of the Sale-a-bration Stamp Sets you can get for FREE for placing a $50 order.

On the top four squares I used Stampin Dimensionals on the back of the squares to lift them so they would stand out on the card more than the bottom section of the card.  For the little round stamp of the bottom section, I used the stamp from the Make a Medallion Stamp Set and stamped it in two different directions to make it form a circle. Then used only the center of the larger stamp to stamp around it with the Flirty Flamingo Ink. Finally I finished that section off with a sentiment and cut the banner out using the Bunch of Banner Framelits Set.

The finishing touch was to add the little bow with the Whisper White Thick Bakers Twine.

Tasty Trucks GOLF CART Card - DSC#222

Hi Stampers,

For this weeks DOstamper Thursday DSC#222 Product Spotlight Challenge it is all about using the new Watercolor Pencils.  I still hadn't had a chance to work with the Tasty Trucks Stamp Set  that I had received FREE as one of my Sale-a-bration items last month. Since I am a golfer and love the sport, I really wanted to do some scissor surgery on that Tasty Truck and somehow turn it into a Golf Cart. It drove me crazy!!!  Nothing I did seemed to look like a Golf Cart.  I decided to sleep on it until the day and promised myself that if I couldn't figure it out the next day, I was throwing the idea in the garbage and would just color something else. But finally...something just clicked and my Golf Cart was finally created.

This was truly a challenge for me to create!  The background was not planned, I just kept taking different inks and sponges and started swirling to create the sky, clouds, and the shading on the grass.  Finally I stamped a pine tree to the left to even things out. The coloring of the Golf Cart was done with the Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pen, and I outlined  a few areas with two of my Stampin Write Markers.  Did you catch my little Golf Bag and Golf Clubs sticking out of the back of the Golf Cart?

The finishing touch was to add the little cloud and sun and emboss the envelope liner with clouds.
