Crafting From the Heart-Anything Goes/Use Red Challenge

Good morning fellow crafters.  Monday has arrived again and that means work.  Still if I don't work I don't get paid and then I can't by crafting goodies - there has to be some ups to Monday. 

Of course there is a super new challenge over at Crafting from the Heart.  The challenge is 'Anything Goes/Use Red. 

 

Our sponsors are Dilly Beans Stamps and StampArt Design by Kathryn.

 

     

 

 

Here is my very first DT sample as I was lucky enough to be accepted onto the design team. 

 

More good news - from 3rd March the challenge goes to a Weekly challenge - so I hope that has cheered up your Monday.

1. I started with a C5 plain white card. 
2. I then cut down a piece of red card, stamped it with a swirl stamp and versamark before clear embossing it.
3. I die cut two hearts using my Xcut heart dies and ran them both through my heart embossing folder.
4. I coloured Pinky's Skull Bow digi stamp using the copics listed above and cut her out.
5. I secure the hearts with wet glue and Pinky with pinflair to add some height.
6. I die cut some flourishes using a signature flourish die, white card and black card and secured them to my card using cosmic shimmer dries clear glue.
7. My little flowers were punched using tonic petal pair set 2.  I cut 4 for each flower, shaped them with a ball tool and secured them with hot glue.  I brushed them with fired brick distress ink and finally in the centre I used a 'blob' of cosmic shimmer berry red pva.
