Our stamp group is having a week of challenges and I posted two challenges for us to try out.
The first was to make a background using Alcohol inks, then die cut a piece out of them and you have both the positive and negative to use on two separate cards.
HERE is a link of the technique if you would like to try it
- Alcohol Pearl inks - Villainous and Envy
- Memory Box - Dogwood Blossom die
- PPD - Wavy Stitched Rectangle die
- Stampendous - Sincere Sentiments
- Memory Box - Dogwood Blossom die
- Hot off the press - 130 tiny words & phrases sentiment sticker
The second challenge was to make a mask with a die and sponge ink in the center, then emboss the paper and add another ink on the raised areas, sand the raised bits a little bit and then make a frame using the die you used for the spotlighting, along with the next size up die to make a frame for it.
Here is the link if you want to give it a try yourself.
- Anna Griffin - Wildflower Gate embossing folder
- Spellbinders - Large Deckled Rectangles die
- K&co. - Birthday & Celebrate Vellum stickers sentiment
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
Connie

Sounds like you're having fun with your card challenges and creating some pretty cards in the process!
Oh wow 2 great challenges, have to have more coffee before I can wrap my head around them lol Love your alcohol background, the colors POP--mine tend to be a bit more murky. That HB card is so pretty, love the colors and the way you sanded it down a bit, makes for a nice finish!
They are both absolutely stunning xoxo
