Scrapy Land Challenge #108 ~ Anything Goes

Hello, everyone and happy Wednesday!! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme is as always, Anything Goes Using a Brand of Die Scrapy Land Carries...there are over 55 to choose from!! If you play along, you could be one of two winners of a $10 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land.

I had a request for a Valentine's Day card similar to the Father's Day card I made HERE. I used papers from Maja Designs and My Mind's Eye to recreate the cards.

The bottom layer is a Prima Vintage Clock. Layered on top is a Sue Wilson Pierced Tags, followed by a Avery Elle A Tag for All. I used a Poppystamps Petite Four Stitched Borders behind a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets 2.

The hearts are Elizabeth Craft Stitched Heart , popped up with foam tape. Tucked beneath the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers are Frantic Stamper Assorted Foliage, Cherry Lynn Designs Floral Bouquet and Cherry Lynn Designs Floral Bouquet dies. The ribbon is from DL.ART. Spellbinders Address Book and Avery Elle Dotted were used for the sentiments.

MY PRIZE!!

I am giving away a Lemoncraft Yesterday 6x6 Paper Stack...the latest release from Lemoncraft, and the papers I've used on my project today!! I will ship anywhere :)

MY PROJECT!!

Since we are celebrating Janis' blog birthday, I created two celebrate shaker cards. I've used Lemoncraft's Yesterday papers, which you can find in my Etsy Store HERE. To cut the frame for the shaker, I used a Frantic Stamper Art Deco Frame. Celebrate is a Penny Black Doodles die.

The ribbon is from DL.ART (use the code LF222 for a 10% discount) and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Tucked under the flowers and cut with Lemoncraft Leaves paper (in my ETSY store HERE) are Memory Box Chloe Stems, Sue Wilson Orange Blossom Leaves, and Concord & 9th Layering Leaves. I added prills for texture, too. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the butterflies have been brushed with a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss pen for sparkle.

I filled this shaker with Tonic Studios Nuvo Pure Sheen Cross My Heart Glitter.

This one was filled with Tonic Studios Nuvo Pure Sheen Peacock Feathers.
