It is time for another One Stop Craft Challenge! This week we are sponsored by Meljen's Design and Whiff of Joy. Meljen's Design have generously given the Design Team some digital images to play with. The theme for this week is to make your own background. Here is my card.

I colored this super cute image by Meljen Design with Copic Markers. I actually printed it out twice, once on white and once on yellow. I cut out the image on white and pasted it on the yellow back ground. For making by own background, I embossed the flowers with yellow embossing powder. The stamp is Sandylion. I also stamped the hearts on the yellow. The saying is a digital image . I added flowers and bling.

Ink it Up!

I have inky fingers today! I have created two cards using the same techniqe and the same sketch. For the Just Us Girls Challenge #  they want you to use the collage stamping technique. You can find how to do it here. This was a fun technique. My first card is (of course) a baby girl card! Here it is:

The paper is Basic Grey. I used my distress inks. The stamps are Hero Arts, StampinUp, and Royal Brush Mfg. The embossing folder is Tim Holtz and the punch is Martha Stewart. I added pink raindrops. Here are the challenges:

Stamptacular Sunday #147-Texture
Stampin' for the Weekend #24-Out with the Old- I've had these stamps for a while and I pulled out my distress inks that I hardly ever use! 

I also wanted to enter The Play Date Cafe so here is the card for that one using the same technique

The paper is K&Co. The stamps are StampinUp, Hampton Arts, Penny Black, and Alphabet Pixie. The punch is Martha Stewart and I added gold diamond shaped brads. I embossed the crown with gold
