A-Muse-A-Palooza Challenge

I have a card to share today. It's one that i made for Amuse Palooza challenge host by Taylor VanBruggen. The challenge was to create a card with an Amuse stamp and it has to have some bling on it. On saturday i had some time so i decided to play along and make something. In the last Secret girlfriend swap that i joined over at SCS, my secret sis sent me a whole box of goodies and in it was an Amuse stamp, spring chick by elzybells. So it was perfect to use for this challenge.



It took some time to put the little rhinstones on each scalloped area of the square. They don't have adhesive on the back of them, so i used my quickie glue pen to adhere them. The rhinestones were bought from Taylored Expressions called Tiny Twinkles. She doesn't have any more in stock, but i think she might get somemore soon. Image is colored with copics. I love my copics. They make coloring images so easy and look so good! I'm really happy how this card turned out. It's such a cheery color. Hope this card made you smile!

Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Polka Dot Basics, Spring chick by Elzybells
Ink: PTI Summer Sunrise, Brilliance Black
Paper: GP White, PTI Summer Sunrise
Accessories: Square Nestibilities, ribbons from ROBOM(Ribbons and bows oh my!), copics

I do have to try to post more often. I have so many pictures of cards i've made, but never got around to editing it and posting. This one was made for Mother's Day. I love this set by PaperTrey, Garden of Life. It is such a versatile set and because it's clear, it's easy to line the images up.

Stamps: PTI Garden of Life, PTI Beautiful Bloom
Cardstock: PTI Summer Sunrise, Lemon Tart, White CS
Ink: PTI Summer Sunrise, SU Certainly Celery
Embellishments: PTI Lemon Tart Satin Ribbon, glitter


This is another card i did with the penguin image. He's so perfect for summer! As i finished up the last card, i spied a bottle of sand out of the corner of my eye. It was in a corner among all my craft stuff. About a year ago, we were on a beach somewhere in the north shore where turtles come up to sun and i had taken some sand from the beach to use on a card someday. Well, this is the day! LOL.. I used terrifically tacky tape on the edges of the patterned paper. I love that tape. That's the best thing to use if you want a permanent bond. Have a wonderful week!
