I love Diane Duda so when 7 Kids College Fund started carrying these stamps....well, I had to buy them!! I love the way this girl is posed, and the sentiment on her dress...is well....PERFECT!

I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11

Hair: E44, E47, E49

Hello Creative Romantics!! At last the day is finally here....we have our first challenge up at A Creative Romance Blog!! All of us on the Design Team have been looking forward to this day! It's an awesome new adventure and I'm so glad to be a part of it with some amazing and talented ladies!!

Not sure if you remember, but in April I put up some awesome blog candy to kick start this new adventure. The winner was announce on May 2nd, but still hasn't come forward to claim the prize. Please click HERE to see if you won! If I don't hear anything within the next few days I'll put the candy up again!! :)

So to get us started on our first challenge, we kept it pretty simple! Our challenge for you over the next two weeks is:

ANYTHING GOES!!

To inspire you all and get your creative juices flowing, our Design Team for this challenge, The Chic Crafters, are joined by some lovely guests, who are sharing some magnificent creations with us all. Be sure to check out all the amazing cards from my fellow DT members HERE!

For my card I used a new image called The Way You Move by Diane Duda . Stamping Bella has produced 4 stamps using Diane Duda's images and I LOVE them all!! This one is stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.

Copics:

Skin: E02, E11, E13, E15

Hair: E44, E47, E49

Dress: R81, R83, R85, E40, E41, E42

Flowers: R22, R24, R29

My dps are from Echo Park This & That Graceful. The burlap ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. The flowers are from Prima and my friend Cebelica. The butterflies were cut out using Tim Holtz BUTTERFLIGHT On The Edge Die. I joined the Stampendous FRANTAGE craze and added it to the butterflies. I still haven't found my heat gun so I used my toaster, haha! It actually works really well because there's no air blowing the particles away. You just sprinkle it on and then hold it over the top of the toaster....works perfectly!! The white pearls are from Recollections.

So on to our prize!! The Ribbon Girl is offering our lucky winner a £10 voucher to spend with them. Thank you ladies!



One lucky winner will be randomly selected for the prize and 3 entries will be selected to win our Paper Goddess badge. Isn't is so pretty?!

7 Kids College Fund~~Embellishment Challenge!

I just want to say my heart and prayers are with the state of Oklahoma. I am from Oklahoma and lived there 18 years before moving to Texas this past August. We still have family and friends there so it was a frantic day trying to get a hold of all of them. Fortunately all of our family and friends are okay! But if you've seen the footage, you know that there are so many people reeling from losing a loved one or their homes. It's horrific and heart-breaking seeing all the images on the news. My hearts breaks for all of Oklahoma. I hope you will join me in lifting them up in prayer.

 

Today starts a new Challenge over at the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog! For the next 2 weeks the challenge is: 

Embellishments! 

Now be sure to use an image that 7 Kids College Fund carries in the store in order to qualify for the $20 Gift Certificate drawing!! :)

 

For my card today I used a new stamp I recently bought called Stamping Bella "I Carry Your Heart With Me" by Diane Duda. I'm a big fan of Diane Duda and have several of her prints that I'm going to frame and hang in my studio (whenever I get time to get that organized!). You can only imagine how excited I was to see that 7 Kids is now carrying these awesome line of stamps!! I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.

 

 Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11

Hair: E44, E47, E49

Pink: R81, R83, R85

Dress: E40, E42, E43

 

I used some gorgeous dps from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found BLUSH 6x6 paper pad. The pink flowers are Kaisercraft Fairy Floss Paper Blooms. I also used La-La Land Crafts Creepy Vines Die. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby and the pearls are from Recollections. The "love" pin is from Little Yellow Bicycle. The sentiment comes with the stamp. I just cut out each word, inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and then popped each word on pop-dots.
