I love being a fan club member at SplitCoastStampers … the inspiration each month from the twelve talented ‘Dirty Girls’ is worth every penny … and on top of that you get the fun Dirty Girl week of challenges. I finally had some time to play along & it felt so good to ink up some stamps after a week away.
Since the challenges end tomorrow, I decided to combine several of them into one card.
I picked up these stamps from Viva Las Vegas & Savvy Stamps on my Chicago Road trip to make cards for my dad. They worked perfectly for Julie’s Clean White Card challenge. I also incorporated Sharon’s Stamp Simply challenge and Michelle’s Masculine Card challenge.
My husband suggested the Hero Arts tiny heart on the side of the truck. I also colored the wheels with black glaze pen & used a gray and light blue marker to ground the truck on the card. I used Stamper’s Select White cardstock from PaperTreyInk, which has a great weight and wonderful smooth texture for cards that really feature the white.
My next card was inspired by my beautiful nieces … Princess Mimi and the lovely Lydia. I had so much fun with my favorite girly girls on my trip.
I started with Jody’s Ribbon challenge to choose your ribbon first and build your card around it.
Next I added Joan’s Silhouette challenge with this fun image and sentiment from Stampendous. I finished with Lauren’s Monochromatic Magic challenge because a girl can never have enough pink.
I added a few tiny A Muse sparkles to finish the design.
Also, make sure you check out the Not a Raffle to benefit flood relief. Having been personally affected by the damage, I am very appreciative of this generosity.
