Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #33

I made this for the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #33 at Studio L3. I can't say how I used the inks, you will have to purchase Tim Holtz book.

I did not have anything metal so I used aluminium foil and ran it through my Cuttle Bug. I also used the ink to color the ribbon and the rhinestones. I am so excited I can color them now! Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE THE BLING!! I have a 3lb bag of rhinestones in my drawer just waiting to be used, lol!

I also received my Cricut Swap back today, so I used 2 pieces from the "Things that fly" group. I am sorry, but I don't know who made them because the names where not on the back.

I wrapped the ribbon onto the inside of the card so I would not have to cut the ribbon, so I hide the seam with a cut out stamp and another cut from my Cricut Swap group.

Thanks for the challenge Studio L3! I learned alot!

Thank you card with Glimmer Mist

I am LOVING Glimmer Mist! I made this card using the paper towel/napkin flower technique, ScrapEmboss paper emobosser, ribbon and a few blingy rhinestones. It turned out better than I thought. Every time I turn this card, it looks different in the light, pretty cool! I get a little scared when I start to random ink or spray paper but I will soon get over it. I think the randomness is what makes this so pretty.

Elegant Cake Cards

I made these cards using the Elegant Cake Cricut Cartridge for the shapes. I used pop-dots to raise the shape up just a bit and added a rhinestone in the middle. The bottom shape was inked on the edges. I didn't have enough of the same blue paper, so for the non-textured blue paper, I used my Cuttle Bug dot embossing folder. Add a bit of ribbon and done. This is fun!

Flower Card

I wanted to make some more cards so I decided to use the flowers I made the other day. I am new to card making and I think these turn out grand! I used the Elegant Cake cartridge for the background shape, inked the edges and added some ribbon behind it. Very pretty!

Apron Card

I made this card with an svg file from www.scrappedlives.nl. Since I am new to card making, I had a hard time figuring out how to make it a card, so I altered the apron to attach to the square card, so it now folds long way. I like it better than the others I have seen! I created my own pockets, which was easy, just cut out the pocket shape twice and I added ribbon to make it look more like a fabric. It was a fun card to make.

Practice Cards

My daughter and I went to crop night at Michaels and we practiced embossing and stamping. We are just learning and it was fun to see the different effects. I am inspired to keep going and make some fun cards!!
