Repeat Impressions - DCC Stair Step Card

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Designer Choice Challenge!  Kendra asked us to do a Stair Step card.  I LOVE these butterflies so I stamped them in orange on yellow DSP.  The Basic Grey Picadilly paper has a nice combo of solid papers and floral prints.  A little pearl makes the butterfly heads pop.

My finished card is 5.5 x 5.5.

Repeat Impressions - Sketch Challenge Mar 7

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Sketch Challenge!  For this challenge I used the Beauty of Springtime sentiment stamp to go with my Authentique paper and flowers.  

After stamping it in purple ink, I cut it out with a die and while still in the die, I used a purple pen to do the interior outline.  Then, I used a marker to color in the border.  I layered it with foam tape on another matching die cut. 

For the flowers, I glued on the large white flower first then the pink flowers.  To make the coils I used the green wire I cut off the flowers. I wrapped it around my paper piercer and glued them inbetween the blooms.  The pearls were the finishing touch.  Finished size is 5 x 6.25.

Repeat Impressions - DCC Heat Embossing

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Designers Choice Challenge and this time it was MY turn to choose! Heat embossing is what got me started in stamping so I picked that technique.  My goose is embossed with black ink and clear embossing powder.  I find it much less messy than using clear ink and black embossing powder. He is cut out and popped with foam tape.

My goose is colored with just a touch of Copic color.  All those tiny dots show you where the shadows are so I just color near them for shade.  

Finished size is 5 1/2 x 5 5/8.
