Here are the Basics:
FireCracker Designs is searching for their next design team!
Submission dates: July 15-Aug.15
Submit 5 pieces of original, stamped art, fill out the DT application
Duties are for one year, and start in Sep.

For more details go to Pam's blog post here.

Ok so the little clip picture was also to show you all some of the details from the card I am sharing today. Notice the patterned paper - Basic Grey! Love it! The embossed paper - I made it with the Fiskar's texture template and colored it with the Y28 Copic marker! ooops I colored them embossed though! The coloring on my flower was done by swiping my colorless blender Copic through the B45 I had scribbled onto a piece of acetate. The ribbon was colored with the YG03 to match the other coloring on the flower stem. Lastly I did a little out of the box technique on the top of the flower.



This card is also for 4 different challenges this week. it is the FCDSketch15 from Pamela, it uses the Copic Color Challenge colors from this week, The Next Level challenge was Buttons & Bows and finally the Belli Challenge was to use Texture.
I have linked all of them and hope you will give some a try too!

Don't forget too the special Christmas in July Sale that Pamela is having - what a great way to get some of her stamps to try out for the DT too!

Beautiful


This beautiful woman is from FireCracker Designs by Pamela Women in Character set. I think she is both mysterious looking as well as beautiful. I added a little rhinestone to her headpiece in the center of the heart to give her a little sparkle too. The flowers are cut from my Slice and the centers are fuzzy brads from Creative Imaginations.

This is another of my OSW cards and I added the second patterned paper to it for a variance.

Elephant Dance


Can Elephants dance? well these ones from Ellie Phant's Gang can!

This card as made for a swap I am in for the letter E, yeah I know Elephant so original...give me a break at least I am using dancing elephants!

Pretty self explanatory card here another of the OSW and then used the nestabilitie die to cut the elephants out and pop dotted them up. Used Memento London Fog ink - it is light in the picture but looks great IRL. Added some rhinestones to the top corner and there you go!
