Word Art Wednesday Challenge #188

          Happy Wednesday y'all! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. It's that time again where I bring to you my weekly Design Team creation for Word Art Wednesday. We would love to have you join us for this week's challenge, which is #188. To find out the details and how you can join in please go to Word Art Wednesday.
          Back in December I placed an order from Scrapbooking Made Simple when they had their huge Spellbinders sale and most of it finally arrived. There are still somethings that haven't arrived but I was so excited because what I did receive had the Spellbinders feather dies in it. I love these dies! They are so pretty! So of course I had to make a card with them. Also this past week I went to the new My Favorite Things store. The new store is amazing! It is super huge and they have a fabulous new area for their classes. While I was there I grabbed some Banana Split and Spearmint card-stock as well as the matching dye ink so I thought I would use them as well for my card.
          I told you all I would give you a review on the MISTI tool and I haven't forgotten. I am just still trying to figure it all out and use it as much as I can so when I give my review I can give you my honest opinion on it. So once I have really explored how it works I will post my review. I wish you all a fantastic and blessed week! Now let's get on to my card shall we ;)

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #187

          Hello everyone! Hope you all have had a great week thus far. I come to you today with another card for this week's Word Art Wednesday Challenge #187. If you would like to join in on this week challenge and have a chance to earn some awesome prizes then head on over Word Art Wednesday.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:
www.creativecardcrew.blogspot.com - White On White

Now let's jump right to it shall we :)

This card is all all white 5" x 5" square card. The only color is the black ink in the sentiment. Each layer was reduced by a half inch making the next two layers 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" and then 4" x 4". The sentiment tag measures 3 1/4" x 1". I then embossed each layer with different embossing folders of my choice, including the base of the card. Each layer was popped up with foam tape. Viola' the card is complete :) Another super fast as easy card to make. (All of these embossing folders are from Sizzix)

          I am loving the card I made this week! It's probably because I have some weird love for bubbles and circles, lol! I hand stamped all the circles/bubbles you see on the light beige card-stock. I wanted a certain design but didn't have any card-stock or paper that I had wanted to use so I just made my own. That is what I love about stamping, you can create your own papers/backgrounds. If you haven't tried to design your own paper/background yet, you really should give it a try. It's so much fun and I think you'll love it! For the sentiment, I printed it out onto white card-stock and then took the same inks that I used on the rest of the card and sponged the white card-stock to get the look I wanted. It looks like this card was hard to make but it was actually super easy! Just stamp basically where ever you want, you don't need a plan or specific layout. Just stamp away while having fun doing it! Now to introduce my card I think I need a drum roll. (pretend you hear it, lol) Ta Da! Here is my card!

Sorry for the dim lighting of the picture. I wasn't able to get the natural lighting I usually use because it's been raining everyday this week and my Foldio2 has still not arrived :( The bow also for some reason doesn't look like it matches but it actually does. The overall size of this card is 5 1/2" by 5 1/2" squared. I reduced each layer by 1/4" for the outer squares and then for the 3 inside squares I reduced them down by a 1/2" then repeated the 1/4" increments. The sentiment panel was reduced down by 1/2" but I used a scalloped edge die to do the borders, so it didn't turn out to be a perfect square but I still am happy with it.
