Challenges Linnecard style
Here are a couple of samples for my challenges on Linnecards yesterday. This first one is really out of my comfort zone. I did enjoy pushing my creativity and using the new Basic Grey Obscure papers and fibers.
The challenge for this week’s Bounce Back Sunday is embossing. Now this is really out of my comfort zone - not the embossing but the design and images. It’s more for the youngsters today. It uses the skull stamp image from Inkadinkado with flourishes from Autumn leaves. Stamped with VersaMark and embossed with black embossing powder. The designer papers and fibers are from Basic Grey Obscure. Cardstock, rhinestone brads, and stamp sentiment from Stampin Up. This also uses a die cut from Sizzix.
Now this next one is more in my comfort zone.
Suzann’s color challenge this week was Blue and Brown - she’s absolutely correct that this combo can be used for so many occasions. This sample uses stamped images from Impression Obsession. Stamped with Graphite Black Brilliance ink and colored with Copic Markers. A little Ranger Stickles for the rising steam. Cardstock from Stampin Up and the designer paper is from Basic Grey Periphery - I did some over stamping with IO flourishes using VersaMagic inks. Ribbon sash is Stampin Up and the rub on sentiment is unknown.
Enjoy - will have a couple more challenges to post a little later this week. lila

Love those coffee mugs. I’m with you - the skulls and grungy stamps are out of my comfort zone, but you still pulled off a great card.

They are both awesome. You did a great job with each. I wouldn’t have known you were out of your comfort zone at all !

Oooohhh, stickles in the steam on the cups card. I hope I’ll get to see it up close, because I bet that detail is the bomb in person. You always think of the coolest ways to dress up a project.
