Cloud 9 Challenge

When I saw the inspiration picture over at Cloud 9's April Challenge, I knew I had to participate. I thought it would be easy. Needless to say, I had a lot of mess ups. Nothing I wanted to use seemed to go together well and I would have silly stamping or embossing mistakes. It was honestly a disaster. So I decided to give it a day and come back to it. So glad I did because I love the final results.

First I took a piece of red cardstock from PTI and scored it. I took another piece of PTI cardstock and stamped it with PTI's Irristably Ikat stamp in Lucky Limeade from Stampin' Up. Next I took a pice of PTI cardstock and heat embossed it with an image from W9Plus. I love those little sayings. Too cute! I adhered it to the bottom of the card. 


Then I took one of the recent release stamps from PTI, Wonderful Words: Hello mini stamp and stamped it in Versa Mark ink. I took Stampin' Ups Gold embossing power and covered it then heat embossed it. I am just in LOVE with this powder. I took some clear foam adhesive from SSS and popped it up for some added dimension.


To finish it off, I added some gold sequins that I bought off Etsy! Love me some Etsy :) Well I hope everyone enjoys the card as much as I do! Now who to send it to?
