Hi friends, happy weekend! The weeks sure do seem to be rolling by quickly these days! I’ve (finally) begun entering challenges again after a year-and-a-half hiatus. Last month one of my cards scored a Top 3 spot over at The Creative Crafters Challenge and I was invited to guest design for an upcoming challenge, so here I am! I’m sharing this motivational card for Challenge #98 and I just love how it turned out! The image is an older rubber stamp from Whimsy Stamps and the sentiments are from Stampin’ Up.

I cut the 5-1/4″ square card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with a layering panel from a pretty pink gingham in the Pebbles Inc. Basics 6×6 paper pad. I stamped the Whimsy Stamps Daphne image on 80# Solar White first in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored it with a variety of markers, and then stamped it a second time in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I do this frequently to get a good crisp image.

I added some shimmer to her wings with Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen, cut the image with a My Favorite Stamps Stitched Mini Scallop Square STAX die, and added Scrapbook Adhesives Adhesive Sheet to the back. I cut some pink craft foam with the same MFT die and layered it beneath the image panel for a little interest, and adhered the piece to the card front with Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Power Tape. I added a sentiment stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink (from the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set) and cut with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Sentimental Silhouettes die.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White, embellished it with a strip of the gingham paper used on the front, and layered it on CutCardStock Pink Tutu cardstock. I stamped the inside sentiment (from the same Stampin’ Up stamp set) on a Solar White scrap and die cut it with the coordinating Stampin’ Up die.
