Dynamic Duos # 79: Black Tie Week

Once again, it is time for a new color challenge at Dynamic Duos.:) This week's challenge is to use Basic Black and Smokey Slate (or Silver) with a dessert option of Christmas.  Here's the challenge:
 
And here's what I made:
 As you can see, I chose to use Silver as opposed to Smokey Slate....and I also used my Stylish Stripes Embossing folder...AGAIN!  It was difficult to photograph...the Silver Foil sheet was very shinny in the sun.

 Pretty straight forward design elements. I first stamped a row trees in Versamark and embossed them with white embossing powder. I then lightly sponged white craft ink around the trees.  Next, I stamped theb tree stamp in Whisper White craft repeatedly to create the background row of trees. I then stamped the snowflakes.  After it was dry, I got my glue pad out and stamped the ornaments onto the front row of trees and sprinkled them with Silver Stampin' Glitter and let it dry.  I tore a piece of white card stock to make the blanket of snow and added a bow for the top of the card using my SU small oval punch.  I used the SU: Warmth and Wonder Hostess stamp set from the Holiday Catalog to create this card.

The Dynamic Duo designers have made some awesome creations for this challenge! 
Make sure you check them out, and come join the fun! :)

 Have a dynamic day!

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
