CBD - Black/White/Silver

Challenge: Create a project using colors Black and White/Silver.
Hello Everyone.  This is Tammy here and I have a new challenge for you.  You need to create a project using Black and White/Silver.  I've had hearts on my brain and needed to create something really special for my Grandparents 70th wedding anniversary. 
For a 70th anniversary you are supposed to give platinum.  The first thing I did was pull out this silver and black paper that I just love.  It doesn't say platinum on it, but I figures the muted silver was close enough.  Then I cut the double hearts, shadow and numbers from my Pazzle. I just had to add a little bling to the side of the hearts.

I flipped the paper over and embossed it to add a little more texture. I used silver powder and heat embossed the words to really make them stand out. 

Here's the finished card.  The grandparents loved it and we had a really nice time helping them celebrate there wonderful day.
Now it's your turn to create something in Black and White/Silver.  I can't wait to see what you make.  You can go to the Crafting by Designs Blog to enter your creations.

Dates: February 19, 2013 thru February 25, 2013


Need some inspiration? It's Janet from http://janetscreativeworld.blogspot.com/ with some ideas! These colors conjure up thoughts of Mardi Gras! Here in the midwest, that's not a huge event, except for the bars and their parties! I saw these sketches online and decided to start there. On the first one, I used embossing folders to resemble the beautiful iron work in New Orleans. Added some bling (Amuse) layered the other colors in color blocks that are embossed as well. Reminds me of all the textures in the parade! Stamped my sentiment (Amuse) and put it behind a metal embellishment. All papers by Amuse.



This stamp (Amuse) reminds me of the wrought iron that is prevelant in New Orleans. Can't you picture it hanging on one of the beautiful porches? I think this little bird has escaped to watch the parade perhaps! I added a bow, some bling (Amuse) to accent his cage. I inked all edges of the paper on both cards. The colors are so rich and deep but I don't think the photo does it justice! Amuse cardstock is just wonderful to work with! The stamps are wonderful as well!

Weekly Challenge #6 Tuesday, February 12th thru February 18th.
Use and animal in your creation.  
(you don't need to use an A Muse stamp to enter)

Hello Everyone, this is Tammy.  Hope you are all having a great Presidents Day weekend.  Hubby and I decided are celebrating a belated Valentine's Day.   

I created a quick and simple card for him this year.  I've been taking a Clean and Simple Card class and trying to use some of the techniques we learned. 

I used a cherry card stock base and pink gingham check for they layer.  The sentiment base is cherry and was cut out with the Vintage Label 1 die cut.  The stamp set is called Tweet Heart.



I stamped the tree with Versamark ink first and used Onyx embossing powder.  Then I stamped the birds and embossed them.  


I used the white embossing powder on the sentiment. I like how it popped, once I did that. 

  


So now's your chance to create something with an animal.  You have until midnight Monday night to enter your creations.  


Also going on now until February 17th.
