Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge - Weeks #718-719

Here is Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge - Weeks #718-719, below is the challenged word art:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I applied a layer of Altenew's Shimmer Relief Paste (Brushed Pyrite) on the debossed side of Simon Says Stamp's Pepperberry Bundles 3D embossing folder. Let it dry overnight. I peel it off from the embossing folder and got a piece of shimmery embossed skin. I used the matching dies to cut out two berry branches from the dried paste skin. I used dark green cardstock to run through this 3D embossing folder. Then I attached the two cut out berry branch skins on the embossed background. I die cut "peace" (from Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th's Peace Love Joy Frames dies) from champagne color glitter cardstock and vellum. I attached the "peace" on top of the background to finish the card. Below is another look of the card:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I applied Altenew's silver Shimmer Relief Paste on Spellbinders' Adorning The Tree 3D embossing folder on the debossed side. Let it dry overnight. Then I peel off the dried skin of silver paste to get this amazing shimmery paste skin. I attached the paste skin on a navy background. I die cut "joy" from Penny Black's Immense Enjoyment die (I cut out "en" from "enjoy" to get the "joy"). I layered several navy "joy" on a light blue "joy" to create a shadow effect. I die cut Spellbinders' mirror cardstock with "O" and inlay it into "joy". I die cut "peace be with you" (from Divinity Designs' Bold Blessings stamp & die duo) and attached it into the "O".

Pinkfresh Studio September 2025 Challenge - Tone-On-Tone & Monochrome Magic

Here is Pinkfresh Studio September 2025 Challenge - Tone-On-Tone & Monochrome Magic, below is the challenge photo:

 

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's floating arch card using acetate to pop up the main image and created this card. I used Pinkfresh Studio's Enchanting Flora stamp, stencil, and die set to create the wreath as the main image. I also used different shades of grey ink as well as silver to make the monochromic card. I used Pinkfresh Studio's Hexagon Tile coverplate die to cut on a light gray card stock as the background. I used a strip of thick acetate to attach in front of the background and attached the wreath on the acetate. I also silver embossed "you're the best" on a dark gray cardstock and cut it out with the matching die. Then I attached the greeting on the acetate as well. Finish the card by attaching some silver fever discs (from Studio Katia) to embellish the card. Below is another look of the card:

For the card inside, I used the left over die cuts to decorate (see below):

Supplies:

Cardstock: Simon Says Stamp, Gina K Designs

Gina K Designs September 2025 Monthly Mix Challenge - Autumn Palette

Here is Gina K Designs September 2025 Monthly Mix Challenge - Autumn Palette, below is the challenged palette colors:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I used these autumn palette colors of Distress ink pads to swipe them on a piece of water color paper. Then I spray lots of water to let them flow and dry. I cut it down into a panel. I arranged the leaves (from Gina K Designs' Autumn Silhouettes and Layered Leaves stamps set) on my MISTI stamping tool. I used spotlight technique to stamp the leaves on white cardstock with autumn palette colors, then I switched to the watercolor panel and stamp the leaves again with black ink. I stacked the watercolor panel on the white cardstock and matched the color leaves I stamped to create the spotlight effect. I white embossed the greeting on a piece of plum cardstock and attached it at the bottom of the card with foam tapes. Below is another look of the card:

Cardstock: Canson watercolor paper, Gina K Designs
