Saturday Spotlight - Mess Around and Tuesday Throwdown #16

The challange today is to make your creation MESSY! Tear paper, distress with ink and make it messy. I took this sweet little House Mouse that I colored so carefully and tore and curled all the edges. Spritzed on some Glimmer Mist to age it a little more and tucked down the corner to display the sentiment "Believe".



If I cross my fingers and "Believe" maybe I could win a $15 gift Certificate to be used at the Whimsy Stamps store.

Unscripted Sketches #43

This was a twofer challange. They gave you a sketch to follow and also added in a combination of four colors. I chose to use a paper flower, cut from my Cricut "Walk in My Garden" cartridge, to add the rosy pink. Added a little Glimmer Mist to give it some shine and an easy, thinking of you, sentiment.

I put this card together using paper from My Minds Eye Life Stories. I embossed the middle section with QuicKutz Flower Card added some Stickles and bling. Sentiment is from a new set I just picked up at a garage sale today, Stampin Up Happy Harmony set.

Day 346 Tuesday's Trio: Scallops - Ribbon - Ink Distressing

For this card I distressed a white heart with brown Distress Ink and a spritz of water. Crumpled it up and added Distress Red ink and spritzed with water. Finished the heart with Stickles around the edges. I cut a scalloped tag and shadow from Cricut Celebrations cartridge and hung it from red polkadot ribbon. Finished the edges with a Martha Stewart edge punch and some buttons.

The inspiration for this card was the blog 365cards.

Valentines with a Twist
