Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes (wk3) challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! Another Anything Goes challenge starts today!   

That's right--you get to create ANYTHING you want (as long as you use Paper Smooches stamps)!! This is the BEST challenge ever!!! 

I created a super simple card... techniques include: using embossing paste, fussy cutting, and stamping. EASY and it's perfect for Trav's Gran (he agrees and thinks she will love it!).

I used the PS Reflections and Bosom Buddy stamp sets along with some sequins by Pretty Pink Posh and Kelly Purkey. The washi tape and cardstock are random-- I seriously don't know where I got them! LOL! 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs, get inspired, and leave them some love.

Paper Smooches SPARKS: May Anything Goes (wk3) challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! Another Anything Goes challenge starts today!   

That's right--you get to create ANYTHING you want (as long as you use Paper Smooches stamps)!! This is the BEST challenge ever!!! 

I am combining challenges again (GASP!!!!!)--- I'm going to enter this card into the Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Gallery Idol challenge. 

The challenge: use washi tape
My take on this challenge includes:

• This card uses washi tape for everything- except the white cardstock:) 
• I used 4 different washi tapes, including white tape!
• The background is washi tape and I mitered the corners so it looks clean.
• I used Kelly Purkey's white washi tape with a bit of Wink of Stella (clear) to make the diamond! I placed this washi tape on a transparency and die cut it with my Silhouette! LOVE!
  
• I also used gold washi tape to create that ring!
• I used some neon coral tape to die cut the sentiment and little heart. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I think this card is super cute! I did have a bit of help from my friend Trisha-- she agreed that I needed to add the silver string and heart:) LOVE that I can text her and ask for help! 

I used the Paper Smooches Hubby and Wifey stamp set along with the Congratulations and Hearts dies. CAS! Well.... actually this card took me 5 hours to make! I wanted to make sure I was only using washi tape... and I didn't really know how to use my Silhouette! I accidentally cut through my mat! LOL! 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love. ***This is actually the last PSS challenge for this group of gals. I'm so thankful that I was able to work with them-- it has been a blast! I love each of their styles and designs-- I've been blown away with each of their creations!! Please stop by their blog and let them know you love their work too!!
