Playing with Papercrafting: Blog Candy Winner

It was another beautiful Okanagan summer day today. We went for a walk down by the lake at about 8 pm and the wind was blowing but it was balmy and warm, the perfect time for a walk really. I should have taken some photos but didn't think to do it. I will next time.

When we got back, it was time to draw for the winner of the Blog Candy I advertised on Monday.

The winner receives a pack of discontinued DSP - Beyond the Garden, a Big Shot die - Beautiful Butterflies, a wonderful discontinued stamp set called Full of Life - never used, a complete roll of Pretty in Pink Stitched Grosgrain ribbon, a partial roll of Two Tone Ribbon and a package of Designer Silver Basics Buttons.

Here's my hubby doing the draw:

And the winner is:

Karen Bridden

I will contact Karen to arrange to deliver her prize to her. Congratulations, Karen!

Here's another card designed for my workshop on Wednesday morning:

I used the stamp set, Giggle Greetings, again because they are so humorous! And the palette of colours comes from the DSP (Design Series Paper) Birthday Basics - Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe, Raspberry Ripple and Very Vanilla.
The Crisp Cantaloupe panel is actually Core'dinations Cardstock, with a lighter core colour. I embossed it with the Stripes embossing folder and sanded it with the Stampin' Sanding Block to reveal more of the inner core.
I stamped the cheesy image in Bermuda Bay and die cut a circle around it using the Circles Collection Framelits. Then I backed it with Coastal Cabana Stretch Ruffle Trim. Because it stretches and is ruffled, it is so easy to adhere it around the perimeter of the circle, which is why I love it so much!

The sentiment is from Banner Greetings stamped in Raspberry Ripple and fussy cut by hand. A little bow made from 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon in Bermuda Bay adorns the corner of it.
The Bermuda Bay backing for the candles paper was edged with the Scallop Trim Border punch.

See you tomorrow with a guest stamper and a peek at all the goodies I got at convention!
