A few challenges

Hello!

Its always good to get to the weekend and even better when I have a few cards to share :)

First up is a card I made with my new Stamplorations stamp set - Sugar Rush:


I stamped the 'mmmm' in versamark on kraft and brushed over with Perfect Pearls.  The donuts are watercoloured with inktense pencils and the icing is covered with glossy accents which aren't showing up in the photo.  The sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps is gold embossed. I do love the images on this fun stamp set!

I will link this up with Stamplorations January Challenge - Stamps and Ink.

Here's a card I posted at Make the Day Special yesterday using my new WPlus9 Sparkle and Shine stamps.  I watercoloured the gems and used a vellum die cut panel over the top with the sentiment silver embossed.


I will join this up at this week's joint CASology/NBUS challenge.  I always love being encouraged to use new supplies and this is my third entry at Darnell's fabulous challenge - there are over 370 entries!


I will also enter it in to Craft Stamper's January Challenge - Take A Stamp (which is pretty much anything goes as long as you use a stamp).  I haven't played along before but will definitely be back :)



Finally I will enter a further time at Virginia's View Challenge - clean slate as there is quite a lot of white space on my card.

I hope you like my cards and have the chance to get inky yourself this weekend....

Thanks for stopping by,

Sarah x

    Ooh your sparkle and shine card is so pretty! I think I am going to have to keep my 'gem' stamp set out for a while as it has been so much fun to play with.

    Ah, donuts and cascading jewels, what more could anyone want??? This may become your most viewed post because you're going to appeal to everyone with these tactile delights, Sarah!! I think the silver embossing was a perfect choice for the vellum, not to mention having some jewels on the vellum piece itself! You're good!! Thank you so much for linking to both the CASology challenge and my NBUS Challenge #3! It's been a wonderful collaboration this week! Have a great week!! Hugs, Darnell
