Day Two of Dare To Get Dirty Challenges!

Hi, everyone!  The stamping marathon continues over at Splitcoast for Fan Club members.  For the next week, I will be posting multiple cards per day...just wanted to warn you! :)

For my first card, I have combined the Featured Stamper challenge with the DTGD18kittie747 challenge.  Dani Dziama is this week's featured artist and I chose this gorgeous card from her gallery to recreate.  I have always loved the 'Dahlia' stamp from ODBD since it's so easy to cut it apart and pop up the layers for dimension.  The image was white embossed three times, sponged in yellow and coral, fussy cut, then each layer was popped up with foam tape.  The background panel was cut out with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Die then the Dahlia image was embossed with clear powder.  The sentiment is from 'Sentiments Collection'.

My next card was created for the DTGD18twinshappy challenge.  The leafy pattern from the ODBD 'Beautiful Boho' Paper Collection was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies and shaped with the ODBD Custom Leafy Edged Borders Dies.  The stamps are from the 'Sweet As Perfume' set.  The frangipani image was stamped in Stazon Jet Black, water-colored, then fussy cut and popped up with foam tape.  Small pearls were added to the centers and yellow baker's twine was added to the top.

This card was created for the DTGD18Edna15 challenge.  The yellow circle is a piece of brushed cotton fabric from my sewing stash.  I chose the 'Daisy' set from Stampin Up since I wanted a big solid flower image, plus I haven't used this set in over ten years!  Before stamping on the fabric, I created a cardstock sticker with my Xyron to adhere to the back of the fabric.  This stabilized the fabric both for stamping and die cutting, even for fussy cutting (bumble bee).  The card base was embossed with a honeycomb folder.  I used these ODBD Custom Dies: Pierced Circles, Circles, and Inspiration Words.  Other than getting red ink all over my hands somehow (rolls eyes), this was very fun!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Below are the stamps and dies I am featuring in my post today, either in my two new creations or sneak peeks from the past few days:

My first sample for today features the "Quilts" stamp set, ODBD Custom Beautiful Borders Dies, and the ODBD Custom Ornate Hearts Dies.  The quilt image was stamped in black, colored with purple/yellow/green/peach/pink markers, then the center was cut out with the 2nd smallest die in the ODBD Custom Ornate Hearts Dies set.  The heart was made into a five-layer button (see tutorial here).  The first two words of the sentiment were stamped on white, then cut out by hand and popped up with foam tape; the 'sew' word was stamped onto the card base through the heart opening (using scratch paper to mask each side).  The border frame was created by mitering four borders cut out with the ODBD Custom Beautiful Borders Dies, then sewing embroidery thread through the openings.

My next sample features the image and a sentiment from the "Sewing" set, along with the ODBD Custom Beautiful Borders Dies and ODBD Custom Ornate Hearts Dies once again.  The stitched border image and sentiment were stamped in black onto ivory cardstock, then matted with some aida cloth which was stitched with blue embroidery thread.  The plaid strip is from some scrap fabric which has been in my stash for many years. The heart die cut through the fabric easily; after adhering it to cardstock and cutting out the holes with a Cropodile, Glossy Accents was added.  The same thread used for the stitching was used in the button and also threaded through the border die cut.

Below are three sneak peeks from over the weekend, which were previously blogged.  Hold your mouse over each photo to see which products were used.

Thanks for hanging out with us today!!

God bless!!
