Freshen your design with a Citrus Challenge


It's officially the new challenge month for Stampendous and we are going to use Citrus Colors. How about joining along with us? We'd love for you to freshen those layouts, sketches, 3-D projects or any project with a Citrus twist and then link up with us on the challenge blog.

You can go to the Stampendous Blog and get all the details today!

My card today is a flub one... I mean fun one. Okay so I really did flub a bit on it. In real life it had some acrylic brushed on top of the green pattern paper and then I embossed  the sentiment in Pirate's Gold. It looked awesome! When I photographed it to share with you today, the sentiment would NOT show up. No matter which way I positioned the card or my light source it just wasn't going to show up. So I stamped again and embossed with the Stampendous Jade PEARLustre embossing powder and trimmed it to nestle in and over my Pirate's Gold sentiment. I'll just call it my buried treasure! LOL


Now for the fun! It's Citrus Colors! How refreshing isn't it. My card base went to the Martha Stewart Score Board first and got a lattice treatment. I used some pattern paper from Spring Fling MatStack by DCWV. The fabulous glittery border was made by measuring away from the edges with my c-thru ruler and a pencil. Then I carefully lined up my 1/8" Perfectly Tack Tape along the line and cutting it with a sharp utility knife. Take off the red protective cover and sprinkle glitter over it.  The sentiment and butterflies are from Garden Beauty Clear Stamp Set. Both are stamped with VersaMark Watermark Ink pad and embossed with Jade PEARLustre Embossing Powder. The butterflies received a little more attention with my Quickie Glue Pen to add a dash of Fun Flock from the Rainbow Glitter and Flock Kit.

I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
