Brass & Bliss Happy Birthday

 

It's Time To Have Fun with Brass and Bliss!

 

WOW!  What a big prize
A $50 gift card

Please note that challenge winner must have an US address.

I'm sure everyone will come out to play an "Anything Goes" Challenge.

 

Here is my project-

 

 Sometimes, I will cut multiple card bases with my edger dies. I grabbed this one out of my stash and created this card. I carefully colored the loop edge with a Copic. I also wanted the diamond die cut at an angle for something a little different.

 

Here is a materials list-

1. Dies: Diamond die (Brass & Bliss, retired),  Lovely Loop Edger Die (Frantic Stamper).
2. Stamp, Stencil, Die set: Friends Forever (Brass & Bliss-retired, but you can check out the gorgeous florals here.) 
3. Inks: Distress Oxides, Copic.  

Make sure to enter for a chance at that wonderful prize! 

Sparkly Thanks

 

 You're Going To Love This Challenge!

Yes!  Anything Goes.

If you've never visited Birch Press Design, you should. I have found some unique designs that you won't find elsewhere.  

Our sponsor will be giving away a $20 gift card to the winner of our challenge.  *Note: Challenge winner must have US address.

 Here is my card-

 I used three Birch Press items to make this card! The background is the Pinpoint Radial Plate (retired), the Dazzler Layer set (retired), and the Thanks Sugar Script die. I went looking on the internet for the retired dies, and they can be found.

 I was messing around with the layers of the Dazzler die, and liked this configuration. I also remembered why I don't like glitter cardstock (it sheds, and it's hard to glue anything to it!). The papers are from my stash, but the black glossy cardstock is from Tonic Studios.

 Here is my card-

 

 Really, a pretty simple card. I used Birch Press Herbarium (retired, but available at a multitude of stores) to cut the top three layers (Light green, gold, med.green card stock), and added a rusty red underneath. I used the same rusty red as the shadow for the gold mirror card stock sentiment, Birch Press Merry Christmas Sugar Script (But these would work as well!). Trying to photograph this card was difficult due to the different golds, darn it. But, I think it turned out really well.

 I have wanted to play with my interference inks by Lisa Horton to make a galaxy background for a long time. When I found the Altenew Mini Moon (and this one would work even better!) in my stash, it all came together in my head! After I made the card, I found a poem on the internet, printed it, and added it to the two empty sections. I love those inks!
