Embellish Color Trends: Rainbow Challenge

DeNami is sponsoring the Embellish Challenge --- Rainbow Colors! 

The winner will receive a $25 DeNami Gift Certificate!

I originally wanted to use the DeNami Rainbow stamp, but I was hesitant that other DT members may use the same stamp. I wanted to do something different. I've seen this technique used before, but have never tried it myself.  SO fun to make my own glitter strips into a sparkly rainbow.  I used red line/score tape - 1 at a time and sprinkled with glitter.  5 different DeNami glitter colors.  Topped it off with the pretty congratulations saying and a few rhinestones.  

2S4Y #52 & Embellish Color Challenge

This card is for 2 challenges: 2 Sketches for you sketch by Kazan  and also the color challenge for Embellish.  I did use mounting tape to mount up the HI circle, it reminds me of a bottle top.  This is one of my all time favorite stamps from DeNami - the Filigree Centerpiece.  The patterned paper is actually the only part of this card I even like... oh well. I even had fun coloring in the image with my copics.
Normally I can create a card in one sitting, pretty quickly.  This card took me 3 days to finish, and it isn't even fabulous.  I searched for my new PTI scallop border die, and never found it. SO sad it is lost in my messy room somewhere.... so I had to use the SU border punch instead. Not the look I was going for.  We were busy with birthdays this week, along with tennis and football practices & games.  So happy to be leaving on vacation.  We are headed to Newport Beach.  This is where we will be staying, in case you want a visual! Pool time, playing at the beach, taking in a Anaheim Angels game, pure family fun!

Happy 8th Birthday Kasen --awesome guitar, no clue how to play.  22 kids came to his party at the indoor putting place, me and my sweetie, my husband and I with our daughter & neighbor girl.  I can't figure out how to type this inbetween the photos -but I think you will figure it out.  Have a great weekend!!!

Embellish Color Challenge & CPS Sketch

Embellish Embossing Color Challenge.  FUN colors today. I coudn't wait to give it a try!  I even made two cards.  The top card is also for the Card Positioning System Sketch this week. I flipped it on the side though, so it looks a lot different.  I wanted to be able to use the crown.  The card is for my daughters teacher.... she calls herself the queen of the class, so I thought this would be perfect.
Blog hopping is costing me some money lately.  I came across some cute samples using this stamps set.  SO, I had to have it.  It is not normally something I would buy, but I love it!   I'd never even heard of Ippity Stamps, see... blogland is getting me in trouble!
We might have a name picked out for our puppy already.  I mentioned "Miley" and my husband & daughter love it.  My son hates it.... not a fan of Miley Cyrus.... aka Hannah Montana.  Maybe if I spell it MyLee or something different....
