More Cards That Didn't Win

I made these cards for the CTMH Make It From Your Heart Contest for Consultants. I hope you're inspired even though they didn't win.

.

This first card was an oops, lol. I made the card thinking the contest was for showcasing the new stamp sets. The contest for cards needed to showcase the new papers. So I added the thin strips of Mistletoe, and still submitted it even though I know it wasn't showing much of the paper.

.

All Card Sizes: 4.25" x 5.5"

.

The tree is from the Tannenbaum Stamp Set. I embossed it with Gold EP, I clear embossed the tops of the tree on the White Daisy CS. I used the Corner Rounder to make the scallops, and finished it off with pearls and rhinestones.

.

This next card I wanted to show that the Olivia papers could be Christmas-y too. I used the set of trees from Holiday Trinkets to stamp a background. I used the Blending Pen to colour in the tree.

I embossed the tree with Black EP, and finished the card off with rhinestones and colonial white grosgrain ribbon.

.

Here's the card I made to showcase the Mistletoe papers (since I oops it on the first card:)). I used the stamp set Snow Days, and the sentiment is from Everlasting Life. I used the Blending Pen to colour in the house, and Prisma Glitter to add sparkle to the snowy areas.

I embossed the sentiment with Black EP on vellum, and attached it so the edges were not flat but curled up a bit.

.

I made a total of 5 cards, and none of the 5 won. Oh well, there's always next catalogue release:)

Enjoy,

It's a Colour Challenge, and A Prize

This week on Heart 2 Heart it's a Colour Challenge! Here's my card for inspiration. Hmmmm, I just noticed I didn't use a stitch of B&T paper, interesting. The flowers I coloured by using the sponge dauber. I cut a leaf shape from a folded piece of New England Ivy CS, added some veins with my embossing stylus (on the back), and then inked the raised embossing.

Loser Cards:(

Okay, ya got me, they're not really losers, they just didn't win. I made these cards for the CTMH Make It From Your Heart Contest for Consultants. And since I didn't get a call from CTMH, I can show them to you for your viewing pleasure:)

.

Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5

.

I used Magnifique Level 2 B&T Papers for the card. I found a origami 3D star tutorial online and thought it would be perfect for this card. I added Prisma Glitter to the Organdy Ribbon, and behind the star, and even added Prisma Glitter to the Brads! The Stamp Set is called Everlasting Life and I embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder. I used the Corner Rounder to make the scallops.

.

Here's another loser non-winning entry:)

Card Size: 3.5" x 8"

.

The Stamp Set I used is called Harmony, and I used Magnifique Level 2 B&T Paper again. I coloured in the birds and nest with the CTMH Blending Pen, and attached them with Foam Squares. I Clear Embossed snow flakes behind the birds and nest.

{Sigh} I was hoping I would have won something, but there's always next catalogue release!! I have a couple more cards that didn't win, but I'll post those another day. Enjoy.

.

Hope you all have a great Labour Day Weekend:)
