Cleaning off My Desk

I had a leftover stencil from the card I posted here and decided to use it before tackling any other challenges.




You can see there are bits of molding paste and plenty of gold shimmer from the Heidi Swapp Color Shine. The leaves were also leftovers from the wreath I made on this card and are tucked loosely into the openings on the cover plate. A few flower blossoms and a sentiment flag finish this one off.



The Color Shine is more shimmer than glitter, but I am still going to link this card to the All That Glitter is Gold Challenge at Moxie Fab World.


I smiled big when I saw the Case This Sketch! #47 challenge this week.




More die cuts hanging around the office are getting used - these Ribbon Candy Borders were leftover from this card and perfect for a pretty literal take on the sketch.



The Technique Tuesday sentiment is embossed on vellum and overlays the green ribobn border. An inked wood leaf finishes the card off.

This card is being linked to CASual Fridays Challenge #115 and CASology Week 63.



With Simon Says . . . Anything Goes at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog, I am also linking this card up there.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
