Announcing Sami Stamps Challenge #010 Winners and Other Prizes!
Woah! Is it March already!? I'm right smack dab in the middle of potty training and has resulted in something very similar to "pregnancy brain." Busy following a squirmy little boy with disinfectant spray, rushing him off to the bathroom, holding aside his cape while he does his business, and now I'm late to announce February's Challenge Winners!
The winners of Sami Stamps Challenge #010: Add A Touch Of Glitter are:
First place:
What a beautiful card all around! Carla used Sami Stamps image "Winter Cocoa" and the coloring of the image is exquisite! The glitter is perfect, the overall color scheme flows very well, the layout is beautiful, and I just love the splashes of white and gold framing the image.
Second Place:
Carol also used Sami Stamps "Winter Cocoa." Simple and clean and beautiful! The soft overall feeling of this card blends well with the soft hues Carol colored the image with. The image is colored so very well!
I just love all the entries so much (And because we have had no little boy accidents today-I am in a particularly good mood) I have decided to add a third place!
Third Place goes to:
Monica chose to use Sami Stamps Image "On Your Arm." I just love the dress! It was a nice touch to add some glitter to the flowers in the background to balance out the glitter dress. Plus daisies are the way to my heart! Wonderful card Monica!
AND
As I am sure you have all been on the edge of your seats in suspense, just waiting for the challenge winners... I have decided to make it up to you. All the rest of the wonderful entries of Sami Stamps Challenge #010 will receive $1.00 off their next Sami Stamps purchase!

So here it is, our Newest Release:
Joining us today as a Guest Designer is our winner from Sami Stamps Challenge 009:
I’m Marina from the UK. I work full-time in
education and I have a family, but in my free-time, I make things. What I
enjoy most is having an idea and trying to make it work.
(Sometimes it works
better than others!)
I’m on two design teams, Inkspirational and
Pinspirational Challenges. At the moment, as well as making lots of cards, I am
scrapbooking and trying to sew a present for a friend’s new baby. I have also
set myself the challenge of making a Christmas card a week, and posting it on
my blog.
Thank you Sami for having me as Guest Designer.
Marina Crafted a beautiful faux wood tag out of chipboard using "Mushroom Fairy." It turned out just so lovely I wanted to include her tutorial so you can make one of your own!
Materials:
Sami Stamps digi Mushroom Fairy
Chipboard rectangle
(mine had a white coating on one side and bevelled edges)
Markers, Ultra fine
glitter ,Two shades of beige/brown ink pad
Clear ink pad (Versamark) and clear embossing powder
Heat gun and hole punch
Woodgrain rubber stamp
Twine, charm, gem
1.) Color the fairy and cut it out closely.
2.) Color the chipboard using the paler ink and stamp the woodgrain with the darker ink.
3.) Glue the fairy image onto the tag and punched a hole. I put glue on the fairy’s wings and sprinkled them with ultra-fine glittter.

4.) Dabble the whole
tag with clear ink , sprinkle it with clear embossing powder and heat it to
melt. This was repeated 3 or four times
till the surface was glassy smooth. The dabbing of clear ink caused
particles of glitter to be transferred across the tag, which (although not originally
intended!) gives the whole tag a fairy sparkle.
5.) I finished it off with some twine, a dragonfly charm and a gem

The way Marina cropped this image made it feel cozy and warm. Just how I want to feel when drinking cup of Hot Chocolate!
