Ode to Prom JustRtite 3-D Challenge

I am an alteration Specialist by day so I just finished up my last Prom dress. I thought it would be fun to do a JustRite Ode to Prom 3-D project. I had fun with this. I die cut the Dress and Tux Favor Box's using Accucut Dies I then used versa mark ink to stamps from JustRite 
I used white embossing powder to emboss them. I also used a medallion from JustRites Grandma's Doilies for the top of the dress.
I hope you like my little fun Ode to Prom project.
Make some time to get inky!

Pretty in Pastel JustRite stamps Friday challenge card

 I could not get the pinks to show up I wanted the white embossing to shine on the picture so the pinks just kind of fade together and look really pale.
 I got my inspiration for this card on Pinterest. I changed it up a bit.I love the cleaver use of spellbinders dies to make the fold over flaps on the card.
I used JustRites Nested Oval Medallion Labels die to cut out the frame and Nested Medallion Labels for the saying they are a nice compliment to each other. First I stamped the frame from the Your special day medallion labels stamp set with versa mark ink and then embossed with white embossing powder. I did the same with the Have faith and the Lace border on the Labels 18 mat I cut. I used Follow your heart  Be Happy 6 x 6 paper from My Minds Eye for the card. I sanded the edges to give a shabby chic look. I used a spellbinders dies Bitty Blossoms by Donna Salazar for the flowers and leaves. The butterfly was punched using a Tonic Punch. The dies I used for the fold over flaps were spellbinders labels 18 and Grand labels one.I also added a magnet closer to the flap to keep it closed. I used 2 shades of pink ( I just could not seem to add the brighter pink to this card) and the soft greenish aqua from the green stems and leaves in the picture. I know it was a bit of a stretch but it is suppose to be your interpretation of the inspiration so I hope it passes the requirements.
The challenge this week over at JustRite is soft pastel colors and I love how this turned out. I just love getting ideas from Pinterest and never try then this time I did!!!

Come follow me on pinterest I am addicted and have some great cards I have added to my boards.
Enjoy your Sunday I am off to church in a few minets.I just wanted to get this posted.

Moxie Fab Household item challenge

 When dose a taco Bell box, a piece of corrugated cardboard, and a grocery bag look like when you put them together? My take on the Moxie Fab Household item challenge.
I die cut a mat with Spellbinders labels 25  from the Taco Bell box we had for dinner tonight,I embossed it with a Sizzix embossing folder.I then die cut a smaller mat from a piece of corrugated cardboard.I then edged them with a sponge dabber and Tim Holt Tea Dye distress ink to bring out the texture. I did the same thing with a even smaller one also embossing it and inking it. I Stamped the Best Wishes ( Raisin Boat Stamp) with versamark ink and embossed it with a copper embossing powder and edging it with ink.
I die cut the flowers and leaves from the grocery bag.( spellbinder die's were used for the flowers as well as the leave's.I edged them with the Tea Die ink on a sponge and then rolled them and put them together with a Thero O Web Zots .I cut the card from Kraft paper and used a corner rounder on the  corner edging it with the tea dye ink.
Taco box from dinner.
