All the best (CFC Guest Designer)

Posted by on February 3, 2012 in Annabelle Stamps, Challenges | 23 comments

Hello again,

This is my second post for today. If you are looking for the latest AnnaBelle Stamps challenge, please scroll down.

Today I am VERY excited as I am temping with the Girl Friday’s in the latest CAS-ual Friday’s Challenge. I am very honoured to have won a Guest Designer spot!

This week’s challenge is to create a card inspired by a movie – in honour of the Oscar’s this week. It is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.

I decided to create a card for my sister who has recently moved house. My card was inspired by the fabulous kid’s movie ‘Up’.

I had a lot of fun making this card. I created a mask and sponged the clouds for a subtle background. The house is a digi stamp from the the Digi Stamp Boutique called New Home Collection. I coloured scraps of card with different Distress Ink colours and then punched out the balloons and layered them with foam dimensionals. The sentiment is computer generated.

I am entering this into the Punches Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Supplies:

Stamps: New Home Collection from the DigiStamp Boutique
Ink: Printer, Distress Ink – Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans, Mustard Seed, Broken China, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick, Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint, crushed Olive, Spiced Marmalade, Chipped Sapphire
Card: Regal Craft Card (white textured square), X-Press It Blending card
Other Supplies: Copic markers, DMC White floss, foam dimensionals, Mask-It, Small balloon punch, Glossy Accents (on the heart on the door)

Hope you can play along this week. Thanks so much to Michele and the Girl Fridays for letting me temp with them. I have had a blast!

Until next time,

Marion
