Barb's Studio Creations

Hi Everyone ~
It’s a color challenge this week at Less is More, and we have been asked to create a card using either three colors, or three shades of one color! I decided to create a tag, and chose gray, blue and red: 

 A really sweet blog friend recently gifted me some wonderful MFT goodies, so I took out this cute image and my Copics, and got busy. I wanted to die cut the tag leaving the horse’s tail to hang off the side, so I used a technique I learned from Bev Rochester ...easy-peasy, and I’m happy with how it turned out. It may be hard to see on screen, but I created a mask and added clouds with distress inks.

My next card is for this week’s sketch at Addicted to Stamps, and the theme is ‘Holiday’. I think you can never have enough Christmas cards, so I embossed the die cut on my card panel and stamped it, then mounted it on to a red card base (looks maroon on my screen). I also embossed a frame around my scene, added WOS clear glitter to the trees, and used Delicata Golden Glitz ink for the sentiment for the first time ~ Love the effect!

And, here’s a close up of the embossing on this card:

Of course, I am also entering both cards in this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for the theme ‘Anything Goes’. 

So, that’s it for today...I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend ~ Thanks so much for stopping by!
