And now for a couple examples from our fabulous designers...
Happy August friends! It's Dana here today sharing my project for the Stock Your Stash Challenge. The theme this month is Wedding.

I started my card by stamping my images from the Botanical stamp set in VersaMark ink and heat setting them with gold embossing powder. I colored the flowers and foliage with a few Copic markers (R01, R11, R12, G20, YG61) and used the coordinating Botanical dies to cut them out.

Next, I ink blended my card panel with Distress Oxide ink in Saltwater Taffy. I then added a few gold splatters and set it aside to dry. To create my scallop detail I used the Hot Foil Elements die set and gold foil. I love the look of foiling on a wedding card, so pretty! Lastly, I used the Word Up stamp set and Word Duo: Love die for my sentiment. I attached all of my elements to my card panel with foam adhesive and liquid glue to finish my card.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope I inspired you to play along with this month's challenge.
Enjoy your day,
Dana

Hi, RC fans! Today I'm sharing a card inspired by the August Stock Your Stash Challenge, the theme of which is Wedding.
I started this card by creating the patterned paper in the background. Onto light blue cardstock, I repeatedly stamped the bouquet from the Roses stamp set. After filling the panel, I diecut it with the Postal Cover Panel Confetti Cuts and adhered it to a white card.
I used the new Little Bits Envie Confetti Cuts to create that cute envelope. On the lower flap, I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Hatbox Florals set. I arranged some tulle onto the card and affixed the envelope with foam tape.
To embellish the envelope, I used the floral sprig from Hatbox Florals. After heat-embossing the image, I colored it with colored pencils, using Gamsol and a paper stump to blend the pencil. I fussy-cut the sprig and attached it with foam squares.
The sentiment inside the envelope is from the Big Heart Sentiments set. I trimmed a square from white cardstock, heat-embossed the sentiment, and tucked it into the envelope. I finished the card with a scattering of flat-backed pearls. I hope my card inspires you to join in this month's challenge for a chance to win a gift certificate to the shop.
