Red Embossed Inspiration

This is my card for today's inspiration challenge.. There is a lot of great items to get you inspired to do this challenge... I chose this image for mine: http://www.frenchgardenhouse.com/catalog.php?item=4552 I love the look of the red and white here so that is what I went with for my card... I stamped my background on 3 separate sheets of white cardstock all different sized. I then embossed with Firecracker Red Glitter from SNS. I put white cardstock between the layers to create this gorgeous background. Looks like DSP but it's not... :)

I added a close up photo so you could see the embossing detail. This is awesome embossing powder that has glitter added for shine... It looks so awesome when it's heat set. The details show up so wonderfully. Please visit the SNS store and check out their amazing products. You won't be disappointed. The store link is to the right... :) Happy Stamping!!!

Blue Ribbon Inspiration

This is my card for today's inspiration challenge... I picked this piece as my inspiration: http://www.oliveandcocoa.com/popupim..._587_popup.jpg. I loved the colors... I love anything with a monochromatic look to it... I stamped my main image with ranger distress black soot and colored with copic markers. I then added some glue and glitter to a small part of the image and let dry. I cut out my main panels with the new Stampin up framelits dies and pierced them with the matching template. I embossed the right side of my background and layered the left side with DSP. I put my main image on the die cut panels and adhered to the background. I added a pretty satin ribbon to finish it off.. I love the blues in this card... I would love to know what you think... Happy Stamping!!!

Pink Ribbon Inspiration

Here is another card for today's inspiration challenge.. I had this image sitting out so why not make use of it again right?

This was another simple card but I think the ribbon really looks cool here.. I cut my main panel A2 size and then stepped down the white panel and embossed it. I also sprayed the embossed panel with bubble gum shimmer spritz. It looks so much better IRL. I colored my main panel with copic markers and punch slits on both sides for my ribbon. I wrapped the ribbon around back and adhered it. I added pearls to the flower centers as well as my butterfly body. I added a simple sentiment and punched out with the small oval punch from Stampin Up... Please let me know what you think.. Happy Stamping!!!
