I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for the talent He has bestowed on all of us! 
I have been artistic all of my life and love experimenting with different mediums and techniques.  This blog is my creative outlet to share my passion for cardmaking and papercrafting! 

I
have linked each challenge above, so if you have not had a chance to visit the
sites, I hope you will take the time to check out all of the different
designs- wonderful inspiration from
all! 

To
create this card:

Use
a brayer to apply Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush Classic Ink onto the Gelli
Arts® Printing Plate.  Lay a piece of
Whisper White cardstock over the plate and smooth to lift your first print. 

Apply
a honeycomb stencil over the Gelli Arts® Printing Plate and brayer Coastal
Cabana Classic Ink over the stencil onto the plate.  Re-position the stencil and brayer additional
Coastal Cabana ink, lay the original print over the stencil area to lift your
second print. 

Apply
a dot stencil over the Gelli Arts® Printing Plate and apply Strawberry Slush Classic
Ink using a brayer and lay the original print over the stencil area to lift
your third print. 

Trim
the stamped image to a 1 7/8” width and use the Scalloped Top Tag Punch to
punch out the tag at the top and the Project Life® Corner Punch to punch the corners
at the bottom of the tag. 

Cut
a 2” piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock and punch the top with the Scalloped Top
Tag Punch to punch out the tag at the top and the Project Life® Corner Punch to
punch the corners and layer behind the stamped image. 

Emboss
a piece of Daffodil Delight DSP with the Needlepoint Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder and add two strips of Washi Tape.  Mount onto a piece of Coastal Cabana
cardstock. 

Emboss
a piece of Daffodil Delight DSP with the Sizzix Pattern embossing folder and lightly
sand the DSP to expose the white core. 
Also emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the same pattern embossing folder and layer onto a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock. 

Layer
the embossed panels onto the background panel and add the tag using Stampin’
Dimensionals®. 

Create
a paper bow using Coastal Cabana cardstock using the Large Oval Punch and strips
of Coastal Cabana cardstock (using the Hexagon Punch for the banner
points).  Add the bow to the tag using an
Antique Brad for the center. 

Stamp
the sentiment using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink and color the heart using the
Stampin’ Write Strawberry Slush marker. 
Punch out using the Decorative Tag Punch and layer onto another punched
image from Coastal Cabana cardstock using the Decorative Tag Punch. 

Add
the Daffodil Delight button along with the Vintage Trinket pin and Washi Tape. 

Mount
the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the
card.
