Hi friends!
For today's card, you may need some sunglasses
- it's BRIGHT!
I hope you're having a great start to your week!
I'm one more day into my exercise/weight loss journey and ...
I'm. Tired.
LOL!
But it's a good kind of tired :)
And ..
it also makes me late for things - like making cards and blogging.
So, let's get into it ...
this card is for the Mission Impossible Possible card challenge
that my fabulous friend, Jeanette, came up with.
Her idea is:
You pick a mystery item and mail it to the others in the group
and we create a card based on that mystery item.
We (Barb, Jeanette and I) had a lot of fun with it last year that we're
doing it again - except we'll take turns chosing/mailing the mystery item!
I was first up this year and mailed out a brand new Pretty Pink Posh
birthday stencil which stole my heart the moment I saw it!
It was HARD to wait to use it but here we are!
Okay, enough ramblin' .....
here is my card, made with distress oxide inks, the stencil
and the super cute stamp set from Your Next Stamp Photo Booth.
I used oxide inks in Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers
since this card will be for a boy and made it fun, cheerful, silly!
And here's the inside:
For the panel that was stenciled with the Pretty Pink Posh birthday,
while the oxides were setting, I spritzed them with water.
It gave it a little more of a mixed looked to the blending.
Barb's card with the stencil is here
and Jeanette's card is here!
This will be a quarterly challenge between us so the next one
will be in a couple of months - and I can't wait :)
One final look - and thanks so much for stopping by!
I love the stencil and inky background-but the image is brilliant lol

ReplyDeleteThis card is crazy, fun, adorable, sweet, and so much more!
Your card is adorable and I like the vibrant colors that you used!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! Just realized this is one thing I have never tried on a card. I have never used a stencil. I don't even own a stencil. Maybe someday I should invest in one and give this a try. Love how yours turned out.
