Hello Sweet Friends! Sheri here with a card for the October 2021 VIP Challenge over in our Facebook Group. Each month we host a new challenge and a chance to WIN a $10 Gift Code to the SNSS shop. One random winner is selected each month.  You can find the details on how to play along HERE.

 

This month we are challenging you to "THINK PINK" in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

 

 You just need to create a project featuring the color Pink using at least one SNSS product! Don't have an image that will work...we have a FREE digital image over in the VIP Group that you can download and use!

 

My Mom is a Breast Cancer Survivor and I wanted to create another card using the color PINK in her honor!!

 

I pulled out the NEW Wonder of Christmas stamp set from this months release and created a CAS (clean and simple) mini slimline card.  I stamped the image using alcohol friendly ink and colored it with copic markers. Then I used the coordinating die set to cut it out. Before adding it to my card panel I added a little soft ink blending to make the image pop. My final step was to add a sentiment and add a few sequins.

 

Card Measurements:

White Mini Slimline Card Base: 3 1/2" x 6" 

Pink Mat: 3 1/8" x 5 5/8"

White Panel: 2 15/16" x 4 3/16"

Bee Sweet and a VIP Challenge

Hi friends! It's Julee popping in to share a card featuring one of the fabulous new sets from the July Release.

As soon as I saw the peeks of the Bee Sweet set, I fell in love with that little honeycomb pattern. I couldn't wait to color it up, and this month's inspiration challenge in the SNSS VIP Facebook Group was the perfect starting point.

I stamped the honeycomb and bee image on smooth bristol paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink (this ink is a deep, dark, black with great coverage, and is designed to work well with watery mediums without bleeding) then colored with Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush.  I added a little crystal clear lacquer to the wings and sprinkled with glitter for some shimmer.  I then hand trimmed around the images and set them aside while I worked on the background.

I used the same color of markers to color a segment of my gel plate, then spritzed with water and pulled a print. I then spritzed the gel plate with water again, brayered, and then smooshed the outer edges of the card onto the plate repeatedly until I had as much color as I wanted.  When everything was dry, I embossed with a honeycomb embossing folder, then lightly sanded the raised edges so that the honeycomb print would stand out more.

The sentiment is embossed in white on black, then I layered it all together. A thin black mat and some distressed edges finish things off.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! If you haven't checked out the new release, you're going to want to go take a peek. I am totally smitten with this month's stamps!
