Alphabet challenge

Friday August 8, 2025

Hello 

We have a new challenge over at 

Alphabet Challenge

Theme: I - for ink blending

I had fun creating this card but I have to admit I YT how to use the stencil.. It came with 5 different stencils and I tried using them all and I did not like what I created so hence.. You Tube.. 

I used Stampin up card stock, I used SU ink and the stencils. I used just a couple of the stencils and felt better when it was done this time. I used a spellbinder die and cut two of the die and cut them in half and layered. I added the heat embossed sentiment.. I was an old red rubber stamp and the name was rubbed off the word. guess I have used this a lot over the years..I added the glittery ribbon strip.  I added some SU leaves, punched flowers and the blue in on the flowers is when I have used those ink sprays in my wooden box and on a paper towel and love the colors so much I glued it to a white card stock. Now when I need something pretty I used it.. So besides the stencil work being ink blending, the center blue of the flowers is ink blending... I finished with a few gems.. I added to a white card base.

FOR A CAUSE 

It's breast cancer month. So any cancer awareness can be used

For my card I went with Anal Cancer Awareness. The ribbons for anal cancer is green/purple. So I used a green ribbon along the side and tied a purple ribbon around the loop. The image is from Diamonds. It's an old red rubber wood stamp and there is a rhinestone diamond in the wood top .. I colored him with copics and added some Spectrum Noir sparkle to the metal parts of his tools. I added him to a Quick quote scrap of yellow card stock and then found this great designer paper that made me think of science and atoms.. so chose it and it worked perfect with the green/purple ribbons. The sentiment is from Reverse confetti and I heat embossed it.  I like that it was an encouraging sentiment.. Get tested.. Don't wait..
