Have Fun Storming the Castle

I made this for one of the VSN Challenges last month. This is my *favorite* challenge EVER!!! The challenge was to make a card inspired by a quote from The Princess Bride. That is one of my all-time favorite Movies. Since I often tell my dh & kids to have fun storming the castle I thought it best to use that quote. ;)

Materials Used: Stamps: Dreams & Dragons; Paper: Basic Gray, Pacific Point, Whisper White, Basic Black; Ink: Pacific Point, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Pacific Point, Garden Green;
Accessories: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder; Techniques: Watercolor

Irish Thank You

At long last I have another sketch challemge complete. One day I really should get caught up because it would be so easy to just do one a week! *wink

So this is the layout. I like it but the right side looked kinda empty.


I solved that by making a scallop edge and putting the designer paper and stamping Thanks with a four leaf clover. This card is going to my neighbor was was kind enough to send over some Corned Beef and Cabbage on St. Patricks Day. (My family are not big fans and I decided I could not eat the whole thing myself this year!)

Split Personality

I made this for a VSN Challenge. The Challenge was to create a card using the split negative technique. I not only learned from VSN that I am a slow creator, I also learned that embossing powder & I are *NOT* Friends.
