Do You Stack Up Challenge #8 Anything Goes!

Do You Stack Up has an easy challenge this week.  Everyone should be able to enter!

Anything Goes!  Yea!  Enter anything you make Today through next Wednesday.  I'm expecting 400+ entries from all of you!

Our wonderful Sponsors this week are Black Leaf Studios and Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps.  You'll need to check the DYSU blog to see what prizes they are offering the winner.
I used one of the frames out of Black Leaf Studios set Chic Frames.  Well, actually I used two frames by putting one inside the other.  There's lots of things you can do with these neat frames!

Of course, a frame has to frame something, so I picked a sentiment of Raindrop Echo Designs to use. To spotlight the beautiful swirly frame, I hand-stitched a border on red cardstock.  Then I hand-cut a white border the old fashioned way with fancy scissors.  That was nerve-racking scary! 

I hope you will be encouraged to try using digital frames in your artwork.  I can't wait to see all the entries in this week's challenge!

I am down to the wire today with my card for Designed 2 Delight.  I've been out of town for 5 days and now I'm playing catch up.  I did take some images I had printed out with me to color.  Kept me busy and happy in the hotel.  Well that and my laptop!!

Faith, the artist, had given everyone the cupcake to use this week for her challenge.  I decided to add another one of her images just to be different.
I colored the images with Prismacolor pencils and OMS.  I couldn't resist adding some silver sprinkles to the cupcake!  And I had to dress up Teddy too with a bow.  What fun!!
The background is made using a technique called Cling 'N Scrunch.  I learned that from the Technique Junkie Newsletter. They have published hundreds of techniques for stampers.  I did mine a bit differently (see a trend here?) by adding some mica powder to my spray color.  You can see a bit of the glimmer in the snippet picture up top.  You'll have to just take my word on this that the whole background is shiny and glimmers.
Oh, please notice my hand-stitched edge to the card!  Sheesh, I worked hard on that.  Kinda.
