Jacksonbelle Challenge and a CARD CONTEST!!!

Posted in Jacksonbelle Embellishments, Shimmerz Paint at 7:42 pm

So you know that every Tuesday the Jacksonbelle Embellishment DT has a little challenge we throw out there for us and for you - well here’s a challenge you won’t want to miss!!!  We want to inclue  YOU in the challenge! And the prizes are AMAZING!!! Below are the details, copied right from Lindsey’s blog:Starting Today and Every Tuesday this month we, the Design Team, will be posting a sketch! We’d LOVE for you to play along! What’s in it for me, you ask?

The grand prize winner will receive a $50.00 Gift Certificate to my store! 2nd Place, $30.00 and 3rd place $15.00! There will be a goodie package going out to ALL winners!! If you decide to play each week, creating a card based on all 4 sketches, your name will be entered into a random drawing and THAT person will also win a goodie bag!

SO, you are probably wondering what do you have to do!? You have to use Inkadinkado Stamps (newer…from this Spring-until now) as well as use one of our sketches that I will post here each Tuesday! You can enter as many times as you’d like! You are also free to post anywhere you’d like! We will post coordinating Keywords - this weeks keyword is JBE018 for the sketches if you are posting on Splitcoaststampers.com, we will all be able to see your card(s)!

Following the last Tuesday’s challenge (Sept. 29th), you will have until Wednesday, Sept. 30th at midnight (EST) to get your cards in to Lynda! After that, the design team and I will need a few days to decide on the winners!! Make sure to check out the design team’s blogs each week for LOTS of inspiration using the weekly sketches! We hope you will have time to play with us and if you have ANY questions, please feel free to ask!

Make SURE to email all your cards to Lynda! (lynda.benden@gmail.com) You can enter as many times as you’d like!

Here’s the sketch for this week:

Fun and Easy! We want to keep these fairly simple so that you are able to interpret them as you see fit! Feel free to flip it, flop it, or keep it this way!

Here’s my interpretation - Card Details: Cardstock: Brushed Silver, Black, Taken with Teal (SU) and Solar White (Neenah); Rubber Stamps: “Winter Trails and Winter Birds” (Inkadinkado); Ink: Silver (Encore); Accessories:  Heidi Swapp ghost snowflakes painted with “Aqua Marine” Shimmerz Paints, black brads (American Crafts).  Stamped image used direct Shimmerz Paints to rubber and stamped.  I thought it turned out pretty cool….. what do you think? Since I seem to be having problems with my post tonight - I’ll direct you to the right sidebar under Jacksonbelle Embellishments to check out the other teammates samples……. Hope you will join in the fun and Enjoy and Create, Lila

Edit note:  I have to admit while I was a little under the gun to get my sample uploaded last night - I wasn’t really please with the main focal image on my card - Sooooo when I got home from work today I tore it apart, restamped using Taken with Teal Craft Ink (SU) and then put some “Silver Bells” and “Aqua Marine” Shimmerz Paints on selected snowflakes and winter flowers…… much better.  Here’s a close up of the Heidi Swapp painted with “Aqua Marine” Shimmerz Paints.  Now, I can Enjoy and Create, Lila
