Stamp of the Week with Repeat Impressions

The stamp of the week this week at Repeat Impressions is this elegant stamp Wedding/Anniversary Border, and it is available this week only for 50% off with the discount code found at Repeat Impressions blog.   Please visit the blog for all the details and to see the other Rock Star's cards using this stamp.
 
This is the card I created using it.  
My sister and her hubby are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary next week so this was prefect timing for me to create an anniversary card for them.  To make the numbers I took to pieces of number grunge board and inked them up with embossing ink.  I then started adding layers of fine detail silver embossing powder.  Adding each layer as the last layer was still hot and melty.  There must be about 10 layers on them to get a nice smooth finish.

Happy Anniversary!

Hello it is time for this weeks Greeting Card Challenge at The Outlawz!  This weeks the challenge is to create a wedding or anniversary card and use gold or silver.

I used The Northwoods by Theresa Momber from Gina K Designs.  I started by using post it notes so I could create a horizin and sponged with mementos in yellows and oranges.  To finish I stamped the tress, then with copic marker C0 I added in some shadows of the trees.

Repeat Impressions Designers Choice Challenge

Hello, I hope all is well with you.  I have to confess I have been keeping a secret.  About a month ago Wendy from Repeat Impressions contacted me and ask if I would be interested in being on the design.  My answer was yes of course and I am not a Repeat Impressions Rock Star.  I am super excited and I know that I will have so much fun with these gorgeous and inspiring stamps.  Thank you Wendy for this wonderful and fun opportunity.  Okay it is on to my first post.

This weeks Designer's Choice challenge for Repeat Impressions is brought to you by Joyce.  Joyce has a fun challenge for you to use Fur, Fin or Feather on your project.  For my card I used Great Blue Heron #1704.

I dusted off my prismacolor pencils for this card and kept it fairly simple.  I love the peaceful soft blue in this card.  I have to say that the heron was super easy to color.  I hope you can join us for this weeks challenge.  You can get all the details at The House That Stamps Built.  Be sure to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the Rock Star team.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
