What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog Week 1

Hey Everyone!

Happy Monday! Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Every Monday for the next few months you will be seeing a new post from me! I am now part of What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog and will be posting new projects once a week on Monday! I love challenge blogs. It's great to see what the team does and then inspires me to make a project of my own. What is nice about our challenge blog is that we will be focusing on a specific stamp set each week! I love this idea because every team member will be using the same stamp set and you will get a wide variety of ideas. All of the team members are very creative but we also each have our own style!

So for my very first project for our new blog What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog I made this birthday card for a wonderful friend of mine!
                                                           
                                               
I love this card because it is a mix of all of my favorite things! I have layers, a doily, rhinestones, heat embossing, dry embossing and my fave color Bermuda Bay. I love how the black just makes it pop! I am a big fan of bakers twine and sequins for that extra shine!
Here is a close up of the sentiment. I stamped my image with versa mark on vellum and then heat embossed it with black emboss powder. I love the texture it brings to the card! The black mat is dry embossed with the polka dot emboss folder. I stamped just the top portion of the stamp again in Bermuda bay and cut out the "just for you" by hand and used my stampin' dimensionals to "pop dot" it up! I am a big fan of adding layers and dimensions to my cards.

 
Here is a close up of one of the balloons. I stamped the balloons on whisper white cardstock and then cut those out as well. I tied the bakers twine to the end. It's hard to tell in the picture but those balloons sparkle! I added Dazzling details to the balloons for that extra sparkle. I really hope you enjoy my card and check everyone else's projects on the design team! So please go to What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog to see other great ideas made with this stamp set and have fun making something yourself with this set!
