VSN at splitcoast

Tonight I did a few cards with VSN on Splitcoast. It was fun. I had to work a little fast than I like, so my cards may not have been my best work but it was fun to be challenged.

My first card was a a baby card. I had fun making this. I looked around and decided I wanted to use the purple and green ribbon and I went from there. I chose a purple color from a Assorted purple pack I got at Michaels and a lime green leftover from the camp stuff this summer.

I used Elegant Eggplant ink and Versa magic lime green spot. I used my SU tag punches to make the tag. I used my cuttlebug to emboss the purple background. I colored with my various colored pencils and I used my Prismacolor colorless blender pencil to blend the colors together.

I was a little late getting it in but it took a while for me to find the post so I didnt even start it until after it had been posted for 20 min.

My second card is not the best but it was fun to try to come up with an idea. I decided to use my favorite candy bar as inspiration, a Heath bar, brown with red lettering.

I noticed after posting I should have used a Hershey bar just because of all the word pieces. I brayered Real Red ink on to the "friend" word using a rectangle window to mask the card. I punched two holes using my 1/8th inch circle punch and tied the dotted ribbon with a snipet of Cranberry Crisp. I decided to mat the brown with Cranberry Crisp also. I also added one of those red gems form the hohoho stickers to do the "i". I smudged a little bit when I tried to touch up the "f" and "d". I should have left well enough alone but decided it needed more red so I tried sponging the letters and added a little too much. Oh well, I was in a hurry to post it with in the hour.

I had a fun evening playing with my stuff. I hope you enjoyed stamping a little also...

Until Later... Happy Stamping!
