Feeling Tear-able

Life has been a little crazy lately…mostly with trying to find time to plan and finish Christmas projects before a Thanksgiving trip followed by visitors from the mainland for a week, followed by family visiting from the mainland for Christmas week.  With all of that, I am trying to find little moments here and there where I can just play.  I was able to do just that today.

This month’s Club Scrap Technique Challenge is to use torn paper.  I love how simple it is to add a little extra texture and dimension with no extra tools!   Since I have been hearing of snow falling in different parts of the country already, I thought I would go with a slightly more "tropical" theme for my card:

The plumeria flower in the center is a stencil from Rubber Stamp Plantation.   I spread pearlescent embossing paste from Dreamweaver over the stencil, then sprinkled it with Pumpkin Fiesta embossing powder from Lindy’s Stamp Gang.   After the paste dried, I heat set the powder and fussy cut out the image.

Other supplies I used are:

**Card stock from Gina K Designs and Club Scrap.

**An embossing folder from Darice for the background.

**Sentiment stamp is from Club Scrap (“Polynesian” kit)

**polka dots on pink background are a stamp from Club Scrap (“Tilescapes” kit).

**I used VersaMark ink to stamp the sentiment, Wild Dandelion ink from Gina K. Designs to color the velum layer, and Club Scrap ink in Carnation to stamp the polka dots, and Leaf to edge the background panel.

**Sentiment was embossed with Leaf embossing powder from Zing.

**I used some Sparkle Silk from Fun Stampers Journey to add a little shimmer to the plumeria.

**the enamel dots came in my Scandinavia kit from Club Scrap.

**ribbon was upcyled and altered with Copic Marker G14.

I will be sending this card off to the Card Care Connection. Hopefully it will bring a smile to someone who could use one.

Thanks for stopping by!
