Let's Get Spotty

Time for a new challenge at

This time around the theme is
"Let's Get Spotty".

We have 2 sponsors this week…


&



This is the card I came up with using
Berry Picking Fairy from The East Wind.

I printed the image on white card stock, colored with
Spectrum Noir markers and gel pens and cut
with Sizzix circle framelits dies.
The sentiment was stamped with a stamp from
Hot Off the Press's Birthday Celebration stamp set
and cut with a Sizzix Banners 2 die.
The ribbon is Offray and the flower is from Recollections.
My "spotty" DP is from American Crafts
Dots & Stripes paper pad.

Won't you show us your "Spotty" creation at

Finn in the Snow

September at HOC

Can you believe it's the 1st of September!
Where did the summer go?

Well with it being a new month that means we have
a new challenge up and running at
House of Cards!

This month we want to see your projects
using stitching - either real or faux.


My card uses faux stitching.

Pretty simple design for me this month.
My focal image is from the "Cute as a Button"
3-D Paper Tole from Hot Off the Press.
I layered it on top of some labels that are
part of a free download to match the paper tole
and papers. The pink "stitches" are Dazzles border stickers.
I stamped the sentiment.

Hope you'll check out the rest of the DT's projects
all throughout he month and then show us what you come up with
from the inspiration. We can't wait to see!
