Wow, seems like I have been super busy getting everything ready for the Holidays! I have been running around getting gifts, making cake pops, wrapping gifts, delivering gifts, and more...... I have a fun card for you today that illustrates my mood. I did do lots of house cleaning too. I know, yes, I did take some time to clean.
This fun image is another winner from Di at Blockheads Stamps. The image is from the Harried Housewives Set. I also used a Background stamp from the Background and Borders Full Sheet.
Materials List:
Harried Housewives stamp set
Background and Borders Full Sheet Stamp Set
Ink: black - Memento
Cinnamon - VersaColor Pigment
Copic Markers
CS: Solar White - Neenah
Pink, Red, Purple
Embossing Powder with glitter
Glitter Dome Embellishments
Purple Ribbon
Flower Punch- Martha Stewart
Stamp the Harried Housewife with Tuxedo Black dye ink and color with Copic Markers. Layer the stamped image with purple and then pink CS.
Make a card base with Red CS and add a rectangle of purple CS. To create the sparkly background piece stamp the background stamp twice on a piece of white CS with the pigment ink. Heat emboss with a powder that has glitter in it. Trim the embossed piece to the desired size and add to the card front. Use the trimmed off piece to punch two flowers. Wrap a piece of purple ribbon around the card and tie in a bow. Add the Harried Housewife to the card front using Dimensional squares..
Punch a few more flowers from the red and purple CS and add to the card front. Add the glitter dome embellishments. I used one of the sentiments from the Harried Housewives set on the inside.
Some fun challenges for my Harried Housewife:
