LIM Challenge #493 .....

Hi there everyone, time again for another great Challenge over on the 'Less Is More' blog ...... this time you have a 'music' challenge for your CAS design. Always remember to follow the rules when entering ......

This is my Design Team card for the Challenge:

I started with a 6 x 4 inch white card blank and used a stencil to add some Distress INk colours in green and yellow with a blending tool.

I then chose a stamp from Cherry Pie and stamped over the stencilled detail in Versafine black ink.

I then stamped the sentiment in the same colours of Distress ink on white card, trimmed out and added a fine border of black card before adding to the card front as shown to finish .....

Dream .....

 

A decorated tag made for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum ......

The card base was covered with Gelli print background which had been die-cut with a circular die. I stamped with a text stamp within the circles in Versafine black ink. I next inked another stamp in Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Some more circle stamps were added in more black ink. The 'Dream' was die cut in the same paper and also in white card and was overlaid offset to highligh. This was added to the tag.

The tag was edged in violet Versamagic chalk ink and some orange Stickles glitter glue added to the circle centres and the abstract figure.

Finally I added an eyelet with the crop-a-dile and threaded through with some purple ribbon to finish .....
