winnie & walter Playdate No. 4: Card Set

Here's my last post for the winnie & walter Playdate No. 4 challenge.

This was the inspiration palette:


I used A Tree for All Seasons and came up with this one first:  



Talk about stretching your stamps. I started off with this card first and then my friend bought it as well, lol. I decided to create a whole batch of them in different colors, as you can see below :) Isn't this set amazing? It's so versatile! I created some for birthdays and one as a thank-you card, too.

Here's my third card for the winnie & walter Playdate No. 4 challenge.

This was the inspiration palette:


My friend already bought this from me and I'm glad I got at least one picture of it... was inspired by the photos and colors of the challenge. :) I used The Big, the Bold, and the Happy here.

winnie & walter Playdate No. 4: Joyful Blessings

Here's my second card for the winnie & walter Playdate No. 4 challenge.

This was the inspiration palette:


I love w&w's big sentiments! I used The Big, the Bold and Blessings for this card. I colored white cardstock with Gansai Tambi watercolor paints and dried it using a heat tool. Then I heat embossed the sentiment in gold and added "joyful" using Memento black ink. I can't stop adding sequins... :)

winnie & walter Playdate No. 4: Welcome Home

I made a few cards for the winnie & walter Playdate No. 4 challenge. I wish I had had more time, but these should suffice for now. :) It's great that they offer the playdates every 3 months so I can always try my luck next time! The awesome thing about this challenge is that the chosen winner will receive winnie & walter's January Release + will participate in the January Release by having our very own projects featured on the w&w blog along with The Talent!!! Good luck to everyone who participates.

This was the inspiration palette:


I first started with a welcome home card for my sister-in-law and nephew who'll be coming to the U.S. in a few weeks, God-willing. I can't wait to see the little one! 





When I showed this card to friends, it was a hit. Many requested one for themselves but I haven't had the time to make more yet. Shaker cards or ones with the clear sheets can be quite challenging, especially with the sequins (or in this case, the faux ice) flying everywhere. 

I stamped and colored the house from This Awesome House, fussy cut it and glued it to cardstock that I had sponged with some Stormy Sky distress ink. Gluing the faux ice was lots of fun :-P I die cut the top layer in a shimmery silver color, added some green ribbon because the foam tape was peeking through... we can't all be perfect :) The welcome home banner was stamped, colored with Copic marker, heat embossed sentiment in gold and added on the front with dimensionals. Added two gold sequins and a silver bow on top. 

I hope you like it! I plan on making more in different color schemes, maybe with sequins.

Anniversary

Honestly, I can't wait for winter break - to get a new phone that has a better camera than my current phone, to get new lighting in my room, and to have more time to craft. I forget to take pictures during the day so this is the best for now...

For my friend's wedding anniversary :) Hope she likes it!
