Hello and welcome back crafty friends!
We loved seeing your sketch-inspired projects over the past month, thank you so much to all of those who participated in Challenge #51!
Now, onto Sunbird Spark Challenge #52! Today is extra exciting because I’m using some products from the new release! There are so many fun and beautiful products, but our challenge is inspired by the new press plates. Don’t forget to link your projects below for your chance to win a gift card to the shop!
I started by using the Timeless Tulips Press Plates and pressed it onto white cardstock with gold foil, instead of throwing away the piece of foil that had been pressed, I heated it on my foil machine using a flat metal sheet and pressed it through to create a “reverse” foil. I then cut this out with the coordinating die.
I created my background by die-cutting the new Dynamic Dotted Chevron Cover Die from some metallic gold cardstock. Before I glued it down to my card base, I diecut the center with one of the Bellezza Frames Nested Dies. I cut the same frame from some white cardstock which I inlayed into the center of my metallic cardstock to create a diecut inlay background. Next, I gold heat-embossed a sentiment from Flourish Boldly onto a sentiment strip and finished off the card by adhering my diecut flower, sentiment strip, and some sequins onto the card.
We love seeing your creations and would love for you to join us in this month’s challenge! All you have to do to enter is use the challenge theme “make it shine” to create a project. Full challenge rules can be found here.
This month’s challenge runs until August 30th at 11:59 PDT. We’ll select a winner to receive a gift certificate to sunbirdspark.com from challenge #51 and #52 which will be announced on September 1st at the beginning of challenge #53!
