Heart2Heart March Guest DT: Prickly Hug Card

(I have 2 posts today...please, click HERE for Club Scrap's Artist Team Blog Hop)

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I'm a Guest Designer for Heart2Heart CTMH Challenge Blog in March!
They have a new challenge every Monday and you have until the end of the month to link your creations, using CTMH products.

Here's my card for the first challenge of the month (although it's not quite March, yet...ha! But they didn't want to wait 'til the 7th to start!):

The challenge this week is "3"...I chose to use 3 cactus plants.

The stamp set is called "Stuck On You". I stamped the images and cut them out (although they have a compatible die set). I colored them with alcohol-based markers.

I blended ink on the card base. On the white panel, I stamped some dots several times for the "sand" and pierced it with my piercing tool. 

I arranged my pots and plants and adhered them on. 

Finally, I added a sentiment, some sequins and a couple of tiny flowers (left overs from my border punch).

Challenges:
1. Heart2Heart Challenge Blog: 3
2. Craft Your Passion #301: Always Anything Goes
3. Simon Says Wed Anything Goes
4. Simon Says Work It Wed Feb 2016

Seeing Double Card

This simple one layer card combines two challenges at H2H Challenge Blog: Seeing Double and Technique Time (Sponging).

I used the Card Chatter-Focus on a Friend stamp set (it will be retired soon, so grab it while you can!).

The other technique involved is heat emboss resist:

I stamped the big image in dark blue first, and the rest of the sentiment in Cotton Candy. Then, I stamped the big image two times (with VersaMark) and heat embossed in clear.

Now, here's the sponging part! I used a sponge dauber to sponge the turquoise pigment ink on the two embossed images. Don't know if you can see it, but I tried to do a ombre effect (darker on top and lighter at the bottom). And don't forget to wipe off the excess ink from the embossed images.

To finish it off, I added some baker's twine.

Update (12/03/13): I'm also entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

Thank you for stopping by!
