RCC62 challenge

Hello, friends:}

In case you missed my ribbon necklace tutorial yesterday on the Ribbon Carousel blog, click HERE! 

There's a new weekly challenge that starts today over on the Ribbon Carousel blog!!! This week Danielle Lounds challenges us with a color story. 

My card design was inspired by the current iSpy challenge. I did change the sketch a bit--LOL! I pulled out several items from the Ribbon Carousel shop for my card, including October Afternoon's Sidewalks paper and Cherry divine twine. I also used some of my new Bazzill cardstock {available HERE from the RC} for the hearts. I used several stamps from Paper Smooches {Chit Chat, FOLKal Points, Hang Ups, and He Said, She Said}. LOVE it! It's simple and fun! I'm also entering this in the Stamp It! Cards Love Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World because everything has been stamped [well, not the text! That's paper:)].

I used glossy accents and a glaze pen to help the hearts and sentiment pop.

The RCC team would love for you to join in the fun this week! Here are the details:

• Make your NEW creation following the ribbon carousel challenge (sketch, inspiration, style or color) image. Be sure to include some type of ribbon, twine, hemp, lace....basically, anything that comes on a spool.
• Your creation can be ANYTHING from cards, quilts, sewn items, paper crafts, paintings! ***Be sure to have ribbon, bakers twine, jute twine, lace, thread (basically anything that comes on a spool) on your creation! And be sure to follow the RCC challenge theme!
• Load your creation up onto your blog or a public viewing forum like SplitcoastStampers, (use the keyword RCC62) with a direct link back to The RCC blog post. Including the challenge graphic isn't a requirement, but sure is appreciated! A participant of our very first challenge didn't link back or mention our challenge and couldn't be named Top Spool, so don't let that happen to you!
• Come back to The RCC blog post and link in your creation using the Inlinkz button at the bottom of this post. Your image may take a little while to pop up but don't worry it will appear shortly.
• Be sure to come back the Friday after the challenge ends to see if YOU are a Top Spool! :D

This challenge will end on July 23rd at 11:59pm EST.

Please head over toRibbon Carousel shop and check out their products!!! I just made a HUGE order because I loooooooove my ribbons and papers:) 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}

Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps challenge #77

Hello, friends:}

I've created another fun card for the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps challenge #77--a color story! For more information on this challenge, click HERE! 

I was inspired by the colors (of course) and the sketch challenge over at iSpy Sketches. I was also inspired by my friend, Sparkle--it was her birthday this past weekend!!!!!!!! HOOOORAY! 

Like always, I changed the sketch a bit {newer sketch version to the right}-- first, I flipped it backwards so that my balloons would be the tab at the top. Then I made the two panels the top panel {does that make sense?}! I love these papers from Crate Paper !!!!!!!!! I think they match this color story perfectly! **I know--the light blue/teal is kind of hard to see....but I used it on her hat and party noise maker. LOVE how this turned out:) **ETA: I am also entering this card into the polka dot challenge over at Love My Tapes {thanks, Giovana for letting me know about it!!!}!!! 

Close-up of my paper piecing- I used just part of my image! LOVE:)

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the SCRS blog for more details and to see the rest of the team's amazing creations!
