Hello everyone. It's time for another challenge at the Sweet Pea Stampers Challenge Blog. There are some changes so jump on over and have a look and also say hello to the new members of the Design Team. The challenge topics this time is "recycle and a birthday theme".
For my card I have used the Sweet Pea Stamp by Rebecca Sinz called "The Ghost". I have coloured the image with Promarkers, distressed around the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and added Black Soot distress ink to accentuate the edges. One recycled element is the clear protective plastic disc in a pile of blanks DVDs. I got all Tim Holtz'y with my alcohol inks to add some colour to the plastic. I like that you can still see the paper below through the alcohol inks. The backing papers are from my stash and might or might not be DCWV. I have embossed some pink mirri that had a pattern on it I didn't like with an embossing folder and sat the image on this. The card has been finished off with some My Craft Studio Click-Print-Go flowers with brad centres, buttons, lace, pearls, faux stitching, Craftwork Cards sentiment and a large bow which is another recycled element from a box of chocolates eaten ages ago!!!
