This one happens to be mine from high school. Amazing mom still had it.

Champion Word Block by Darkroom Door!

Hi guys!

I have a card to share using the new word block stamp/CHAMPION by Darkroom Door.  Such a neat series of stamps. They are great for card backgrounds or to cut the individual words out for embellishments.

Stamp the Champion Word Block image on white cardstock. Shade with black ink.  Using the Stitched Borders set, add stitching to all sides of the image.  Mat on Black cardstock, then on white cardstock. Stamp the Roller Skates image on white cardstock and fussy cut the image out.  Shade with black ink. Add Wink of Stella for shimmer.  Stamp the word WINNER from the Champion Word Block and cut it out. Add shimmer to the word. Add the star rhinestones to the Roller Skates. Add corners and adhere all elements to the card front.  Speckle with black acrylic paint or black ink.

Footloose and Fancy Free with Quick Quotes ~ January Challenge!

Hi, Connie here with a darling card using the Farmhouse Collection by Quick Quotes.  I love the green and blue color tones in this collection. So pretty together! The challenge for January is, create a project using a stencil and stamps. Stencils make a great background for a card and are easy to use with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk Inks.  You can link up Here

I love what the sticker says  "Footloose and Fancy Free".  Who wouldn't love to feel that way!!!
I added a stencil, to the paper, creating some chevrons to add to the mix of colors. Creating a fun background. The flowers and Ivy are a die.  After cutting them I shaded them with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk Inks.  So easy and then you get the perfect color to match the papers.
