Stripes and Bling!!!

Hi!  I decided to do Bloomers Gilli for my stripes and bling card because her top was striped and it gave me a starting point.  I used my Scor-Pal to start my card base and colored Gilli with prismacolor pencils.  I then used  my Grand Calibur to cut the Spellbinders labels dies and the bows are from Stamping Scrapping Designs.  The palm trees were cut from the Oceans of Words cricut cartridge and the border punch used was by Fiskars.  I put stickles on Gilli's outfit and on the palm trees for the bling and finished it off with some stitching on the sewing machine.  I hope you all add your cards and play along!!  : )

BoHo Gilli

Hi!  It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns with your Stripes and Bling inspiration card for today!  I am so happy to be back with you!

I decided BOHO Gilli would be perfect for a striped card with her adorable hat.  I even added some stripes to her tank top.  Just to change things up a little I used my Grand Calibur and my Labels 1 Dies to cut my Basic Grey paper and decided to use only part of Gilli.  I really like the way she turned out – what do you think?

I used my Scor-Pal to add some more stripes to the background of my card.  For her bling I added some Crystal Gems to her earrings and belt buckle using my I-Rock tool and some Smooch Illuminate to the ball on her hat.  Some SSD Orchids, pearls and ribbon finished it off.

I can’t wait to see what you create –  you don’t have to use a Gilli but we would sure love to see you use one!

Green Challenge

Hi!  Karen here with my take on the green challenge.  I have chose Tee Gilli by Anary and colored her with prisma colored pencils.  I used the circle Spellbinders to cut her out on the Grand Calibur.  I used a Just Rite stamp set for the sentiment and also used the cricut Designers Calendar and Lacy Labels cartridges.  I used heat embossing with white embossing powder to edge the four leaf clovers with and finished it off with ribbon, a button, some cluny lace trim, and some stitching.  I also used the scor-pal to have the perfect fold on the cardstock.  I hope you come and join in the fun and link your card up for the challenge!!
