Stamper's Dream Monthly Challenge

Hi everyone! It's time for another monthly Stamper's Dream challenge! This month Tosh is challenging us all to make gray cards with a touch of bling and a splash of color...and to use a stamp from Stamper's Dream of course. {smile}

You're all welcome to play along! Just post a link to your project on Michelle's blog. If you upload to SCS, use SDDC3 in the keywords. Be sure to check out Michelle's blog too....she'll have a GIVEAWAY for one lucky participant!

My card is pretty straightforward....two shades of gray CS, Swarovski crystals and sparkly threads in the ribbon for the bling, touches of color with the green Swarovski crystals and in the embossed music note with Aegean Silver EP . The JudiKins Music Background and Stampendous Christmas Note stamps are both from Stamper's Dream, as is the white Neenah CS.

The layout is one of Jen del Muro's SFYTT sketches! Each of the Nestabilities circles and scallop rectangle are up on separate layers of Dimensionals. I stamped two more music notes on the inside of the card, down in the bottom left and bottom right corners by coloring right onto the stamp with a Black SU marker and then stamping on the CS. Those music notes also have the Aegean Silver embossing just like the one on the front.

Be sure to check out the gorgeous cards from the rest of the Stamper's Dream DT: Charmaine, Cindy, Carolyn, Kim, Laurie, Michelle, and Tosh.
