Addicted To Stamps and More! Anything Goes Challenge #316

One more card for a challenge today!

This one is being linked to the Addicted to Stamps and More! Anything Goes Challenge.

 

I love random thoughts. I adore Visible Image stamps. They have so many cool sentiments. 

This stamp is called Creativity. 

This was a second generation print using a stencil from The Crafters Workshop called mini chickenwire reversed and leftover ink from another card I had made. I used distress oxide ink for this print, but I'm not sure of the color. This was one of the prints I pulled from my overflowing container  of backgrounds. 

I used some bling from my stash to finish off my card. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Craft Stamper Magazine Challenge: Anything Goes

My card today is for the Anything Goes challenge over on the Craft Stamper Magazine Blog. While I love sketch and color challenges, anything goes challenges rate pretty high with me. Sometimes I never know what direction I'm going in or what I'm doing until my project is almost finished.

I had the random rectangle of card stock that I had die cut while working on another card and not wanting to waste it, I started inking and adding different stenciled bits to it. That's how this card evolved.

 

I used five different stencils on my panel. Four from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous and one from TCW. Three Distress Oxide inks were blended together on my card panel. I used black to highlight. I took the extra ink left on my craft mat and splattered it onto the card base. All product names are listed below. 

After die cutting my bicycle image and stamping the sentiment, I added foam tape to my panel before adding the panel to my card to give it some dimension. 

Supplies:

You Make Me Smile

This is a card I just about tossed! I started out mixing some Festive Berries Tim Holtz Distress Ink with Golden Light Molding Paste. I then spread it over a TCW Balzer Designs mini chevron stencil. After it dried I wasn't too enthused by the almost "pinkish" color. I then let it sit for.......a few weeks! As I was picking up my craft room the other day, I looked at it again and thought "I can do something with this". 

I used my WRMK envelope punch board to make the little flag ends on the black and white card stock. I didn't apply the molding paste too thick, so the design isn't raised a lot. It does have some nice texture though. 

After popping up the sentiment which is by Hero Arts called All Occasion CL272 and adding a few Hero Arts black metallic decor, I think it turned out okay!

Unscripted Sketches #242 - Wishing You Brighter Days

I tinted some Golden Gel Mediums Light Molding Paste yellow using dandelion ink from Memento to create my circle background on this card. I used the negative from a Spellbinders circle die cut out of cardboard that I taped over the TCW mini chevron stencil and then applied the molding paste. I love it! This stuff is so fun to work with. The purple branch is a Die-Namites die called summer branch.
