I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far and if you are Splitcoast Fan Club Members you are taking part in the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges! I’m hostessing one more challenge today and I have to say it’s one that I really love! Being the twisted sister that I am, I could not resist using this new set from My Favorite Things. Check it out – Back to School will be released on August 1st.
I have one more card as a sample today. This one is for Susan’s (Rainy) Dare to Get Dirty Challenge. Using the technique that Rainy linked to, I went to work. Once I had the initial panel, stamped and embossed, I cut it into 1-1/4″ squares, layered those squares onto 1-3/8″ squares and then placed those onto a background panel. The bottom background panel uses the same technique as illustrated in the tutorial, but I did not finish the stamping in black or embossing. I used a sponge and moved the ink around to make a softer tone and let it go. The panel for the sentiment is made the same way, I just eliminated the darker purple ink. The fibers used are some I picked up at the Paula Best booth at Orlando Stampfest.

Very beautiful, elegant card. Love all the layers… usually I am not into this sort of stuff, but you are leading me into it, nicely!
How beautiful…the colors, the design ..you are so gifted – thank you for the inspiration!
OMGosh!!! *LOVE* your twisted card!!! I know *so* many people who need that – you should blow it up into a poster and start selling it!! ~ K
Hmmmm…so that’s how you are! Your twisted self is definitely showing. Someday I’ll send you the twisted card I’ve always wanted to make… Your second card is a beautiful example of the technique. I like the sentiment, too, and the fibers look wonderful on it. I’ve been thinking lately of resurrecting my fibers and just used some of them on a card I’ll be posting later. Not as pretty as this, but it got me thinking…
