Triple B challenge for May 2025

 

https://dd-tripleb.blogspot.com/2025/05/may-2025-challenge.html

I made this card for the above challenge. I used a piece of purple design paper from Graphics 45 to  3-D embossing folder from Sizzix. Then I rubbed a pale yellow distress ink pad over the embossed area. I tore some yellow design paper for an accent strip. The flower was stamped on white cardstock using a beautiful Fresh Pink stamp. It was colored with alcohol markers. The butterfly is a layered stamp from Our Daily Bread (a very old stamp with a matching die).

This is also  for the {BYSHC} sketch challenge 57. I used a great little Gina K set called "Joy to the World" for my stamped images. The design papers are from Paper Studio,  I  sure have been happy getting some of my Christmas cards completed early. This linky party always motivates me.

I made this card using a Unity stamp set and I fussy cut some paper from one of Unity's Christmas paper tablets to use as an added holly embellishment. I colored the image with alcohol ink markers. 

It was fun using some of my paper stashes in my scrap piles for this card. Hope all of my stamping friends are enjoying the BYSHC Linky Party event. I always get some great ideas from there and they make this so fun with even the possibility of winning a prize from some of my favorite paper crafting companies and friends.

I am so thrilled to see two of my favorite companies taking part in this event: Unity Stamps and A Colorful Life Design stencils. I used 2 stencils from A Colorful Life for this card and the sentiment is from Unity. This was quick and easy and turned out so cute.

I so look forward to this event every year. This year I will using their motivation to get me some Christmas cards made for the stash I need. I made this card making use of the star die that is from Gina Marie designs (one of the faithful sponsors of this event.) The 3_D embossing folder I used is from Sizzix. I am not sure of the source of the nativity. The sentiment is from Creative Worship stamps. The elegant white and silver embossed design paper has been in my stash for quite sometime. It just seemed perfect for this special card.
