Three More Challenge Cards

 Hey Everybody,

Back again with Virtual Stamp Night Cards. Today I have three challenges to show you. Check out the link above to try some of the fun challenges that I've been doing.

Our challenge was to use goldfish for a card. I printed this goldfish out and colored it with watercolor pencils then blended with a blender pen. I added touches of gold pen on the main body. I added Wink of Stella to the whole fish. I used versamark on a stencil over my designer series paper and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I used a stencil that looked a bit like the skin on the fish. I added a wobbler to the back of the fish and added that to the card front. I wrote Keep Swimming with black fine line marker. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

My second challenge is to use gold, silver or bronze on our card. I put an adhesive sheet on the back of the gold paper and die cut it. I also die cut a scrap of red to get the red piece. I ran the red card base through with the embossing folder for the background. I did the same with the scrap of red for the missing puzzle piece. I added the gold heart then added the red piece of the heart. I used dimensionals for the small heart and the sentiment. I placed the gold piece on the card base with adhesive. This will go to a loved one.

Hearts of Love 3D embossing folder is the embossing folder I used for this card.

Our challenge was to make a clean and simple card with at least one gold star.
I stamped the sweater and colored it with Copic markers. It was die cut and added to the background paper. The background paper was added to a mossy meadow card base. I stamped the tiny hearts with versamark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.
