Hello Everyone!  This post was supposed to go live on July first, but I screwed up. Since I was late anyhow I thought I wait until the STAMPlorations blog hop is over to give House of Cards the attention it deserves! I used the new party stamps from STAMPlorations to make this card ( Party Mates  and Party Time ). The dots I made with fun foam stamps, using circle dies to cut the foam. We have a wonderful summery inspiration picture for this current challenge ... You may use food images or the colors from the picture. Here is another view of my card:  Please check out what our wonderful DT created: Barbara ,  Cohenna ,  Daen'Ys ,  Dana ,  Donna N. ,  Donna T. ,  Emily ,  Gracie ,  Judy ,  Katy ,  Lilian ,  Linda ,  Lorry ,  Merethe ,  Michele ,  Monika ,  Mrs Duck ,  Pat ,  Rocky ,  Ruza ,  Sue ,  Tammy ,  Toni Looking ...

Hi Everyone, its challenge time at  House of Cards ! This month theme is Bokeh technique. Mynn created a nice tutorial on the HOC blog to show you how to do this. and there will be other tips and tutorials throughout the month form your fabulous DT! Here is my card: I made a watercolor background and once it was dry I sponged white pigment ink on top of it using a home made stencil in which I punched various sized holes. Really easy - just a bit time consuming. But the effect is well worth it! I used a stitched frame to cut my bokeh panel to size. I added the gold foil die cut sentiment and heat embossed the rest of the sentiment on black card stock (added foam tape to give it some dimension).  Added gold foil sequins and gold thread.
