In this monthly challenge you will see cards or projects that will make a mess, a hot mess of work spaces, fingers, clothes and anything I touch! But from the "hot mess" comes success, sometimes!

This month, Barb gave us the challenge to use RED somewhere on our card.
I used the baby wipe technique with Stampin' Up! Real red reinker. My fingers were covered!
My first try was going well, until I tried to use the embossing powder....it stuck to everything!! I do like the finished product, but I may not use this technique again.
So, my second try was a little bit different, I did the heat embossing first:
Now....I am a bit behind on my challenges, but I'm slowly getting caught up. Here is my December card. The challenge was to use Silver or Gold on our card. I chose silver and used Nuvo Glacier Paste with a stencil.
What a messy technique....but I like it!! It was fun, and messy but it turned out great! Here is my card:
Thanks for stopping by!!

Terry, these cards look fabulous! Definitely success! I love the techniques you used!
ReplyDeleteTerry--your cards are so cute. I love the Valentine cards-and I bet your fingers were red! The anniversary card is stunning--great stencil to use for metallic colors!
ReplyDeleteTerry, these are fabuous! I love how different they both are - so striking! What a fun technique you chose ~ and I love the contrast of the red with the black and white. I hope you try these again because it's a great success!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Terry - especially the Christmas one - that is so elegant!
