Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #17 - Pink, Red, White theme and ribbon

the challenge ended last night and I forgot to get this posted earlier and missed the cut-off

...but click on the link above to take you to their site for the next challenge!

I have to show a close up of the yummy ribbon from
Really Reasonable Ribbon (RRR),

the red ribbon has little sparkles in it, and the pink grosgrain with the hearts is so cute.  These ribbons were part of my January Ribbon Club set from RRR:

I stamped my {ippity} 'LOVE' background stamp with VersaMark and heat embossed with white embossing powder, then inked with TH Worn Lipstick Distress Ink and misted with Candy Apply Red Glimmer Mist.  Colored the birdcage with my Copic Markers (RV10, RV21, RV14, $V25), and added some shine on the birds with my Spica Pens.

Thank you for coming by and have a LOVELY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Always an {ippity} Monday to go Hippity Hoppity

Hi ya girlies!  I've been playing with different techniques lately...I'm sharing a card that I dry embossed on vellum and entered it into two challenges:

First, of course, the  {ippity} challenge IHHC8...to make a shaped card...so do ya think this card looks like a lampshade?
Second, the SCS featured stamper challenge FS156 BUTTERFLYEARS...to case something from Nichole's gallery, which I CASE'd her lampshade!   If you'd like you can take a look at her lampshade that I CASE'd here...I think her lampshade is fabulous!

I shaped the card to look like a lamp shade using my old scallop scissors for the top and bottom of the card; stamped the images with Staz-on on the front of the vellum, dry embossed the images from the back, and colored them with SU markers...it gave the color much softer tones when coloring from behind the images.  I didn't have enough pearls to place on the scallop edges, so I made them out of Moonlight Smooch:

Here's the inside of the card with a quick sentiment that says ' always...in my life'.  You can see how the dry embossing raised the images on the vellum for some cool texture:
