Some of my cards for the Dirty Girl Challenges on Split Coast

These are a few of the cards I made for some of the challenges on Split Coast this week.

Monday's stamping

This cute little Sarah Kay image is all done in teals and turquoise. I used a pretty plaid background page from the Linen closet by DCW papers. Just added some embellishments to finish her.

Frame it

The monthly challenge on Split Coast was to "frame it". This is a new Sarah Kay image colored with copics, spellbinders frame and I did another one in gold mirror card, sliced it in half and put it behind the top and bottom, added some prma flowers and pearls.

Sarah Kay

I just made this Sarah Kay card, used the K&Co Madeline papers and stickers. Martha Stewart border punch and pearls to accent. I colored with copics and sponged some ink around the edges. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Faux mulberry paper

After seeing a card on Faith's blog here I decided to try this idea, you use acrylic paints and "cheap" toilet paper, you just choose 3 to 4 coordinating colors and wear rubber gloves, just wad up toilet paper and dip it into a color and smoosh it on the paper, kind of like alcohol ink backgrounds but the paper will stick to the paints and you get a 3-D effect. I really didn't like the paper when got done, they were too bright for me, but they make very cute backgrounds when they are mounted and a small part of them show. We had a fun time doing this and make sure you cover your work area with a garbage bag or something so you don't get paint all over everything. Thanks Faith it was fun!!! The stamp is from Sarah Kay
