Cupcake Craft Challenge 77 & Polycraft Monday Challenge 33

Happy Hearts Day! I'm pleased to have completed a post for two challenges all in one card, hee hee. So many do it these days but I have had a hard time tying ideas together... this one was an easy starter for me! Cupcake Craft Challenge #77 is asking for Red & White All Over this week. I loved what the DT shared for inspiration and knew I needed some time with these colors.

Polycraft Monday Challenge #33 is asking for Things With Wings... at first I thought I had nothing to choose from for this challenge and almost needed to buy a digi stamp or two just to play along. This may have been because I looked at the cuties being used by the DT, but this Mo Manning digi stamp (Plump Fairy) suited me quite nicely, especially in the red! She is quite lovely and looks to me like she indeed feels wonderful in her pose. You have to feel wonderful when wearing a red dress! LOL

Cupcake Craft Challenge – #75 Matching Set

I love this digi stamp: Tales From Polycraft: Sweet Dreams Collection: Aurelia Mooncatcher. She is just too sweet. I've wanted to use her for a while and this challenge at Cupcake Craft Challenge gave me the perfect oppertunity. I thought a bit of flocking would add a nice touch to the card... it's been a while since I used flock... they call it Fun Flock and after this project I'm not sure why. The Stamp N'Bond doesn't seem to "grab" the flock well so I ended up "drawing" the image on again with a glue pen and then flocking on the card. On the jar I tried stamping the image I wanted flocked first in red ink, then covering it with a glue pen to flock. I think the result is about the same. The jar is a bit bolder in color but not as much as I thought it would be! I enjoy the finished result of both though! Not sure if I'll be "flocking" for a while, LOL!

Images are distressed with Antique Linen color. Fun Flock: Chili Pepper Red. Papers are K&Co.
