Happy Day - and what a good one it is !!!I won last weeks OCC Challenge - WAAHHHOOO!!!
You need to come and check all these talented ladies out right here.
Don't you just love them???
With this weeks *Christmas in July* theme I can actually check off two Challenges in one - YEAHHH!!!
Sharon Johnson is also hosting the same idea for her ssnotime #45.....you can see the info right here.
When I was digging for my x-mas Stamps I came across this cute little Stamp from *Hero Arts*. This Stamp is from my *first* stamping experience - I think I bought it like 3 yrs ago at *Archiver's*....but I'm still loving it!!!
The card measures 4 1/2 " x 4 1/2". I have stamped the *Snowman* with Basic Black and colored it with Real Red, Green Galore, Garden Green. For the *hat* I have used a Dark Brown Copic Marker #E47 and a Colorless Blender to soften the image. The outlining was also done with a CM #N1.
Next I have layered the fun *Snowman* onto Real Red CS and pierced around it. This image was raised with Stampin Dimensionals onto the next two layers. Before I added the whole panel I have added the 5/8" Real Red Ribbon from SU. Then I have stamped the sentiment from the *Snowfall* Set. At last I have added two *medium* Silver Brads from Making Memories.
Hope you like it??? ~TFL~
This card was made for Holly's and Taylor's *Dirty Girl* Challenge over on SCS.The layout came from Holly and the *Cupcake* idea from Taylor......love both of them - awesome stampers!!!
I have used my favorite new *In Color* Tangerine Tango and a matching DP from *Bo-Bonny* Shabby Princess Collection. Doesn't it look great together??? It matches the *Kiwi Kiss* too.....
The Cupcake Stamp is from Hero Arts and I have colored the bottom part with Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss. The top part was filled with the 3-D *Liquid Applique* from Marvy Uchida. I love this stuff for *Cupcakes*!!!
Before I've started to dry it with the *Heating Tool* I have bedazzled the 3-D Applique with Dazzling Diamond Glitter. Then I have punched out a flower and added a Silver Brad in the center - it was attached with a Glue Dot.
The Ribbon is from Martha Stewart and I have added three *medium* Silver Brads on the right hand side.
Hope you like it??? ~TFL~

I totally love applique with glitter! Makes a yummy looking cream on coffee or hot chocolate too :)
Gorgeous cards! Love that DP with the Tangerine and Kiwi.
I am always smitten with your work -- I just love your use of color and your composition is always to perfection!!!! Love both of these cards and I'm so glad you played my challenges -- thanks so much!!!
YUMMY is right!!!!
Oops! In my cupcake excitement, I didn't realize Mr. Snowman was part of the same post. Snowmen are my favorite, so I {heart} this card!
Your works of art amaze me. Love how you incorporate the white crispness into all of your cards. You always end with gorgeous results that are quite inspiring. Thank you for sharing your talent!! :)
I just love your snowman card and cupcake one, too! Love the flower on the cupcake. You've inspired me to get my snowmen out! I've been a "stalker" on your blog for some time, LOVE your style! TSMFS!!hugs, Monica
I love your layering for the Christams in July card. It's so elegant in red and white, too.
Silke, I just love your crisp, clean style! These cards are first class (as always!) The 3-D effect of the cupcake is spectacular!
Wow I love your cards!
Have a good one!
Hugs Sue
Congrats on winning...you rock!!! All your stuff is gorgeous!!
Congrats on winning... the card is awesome. I espcially like how you used liquid applique to make the frosting on the cupcake look so realistic.
The icing is fantastic!!!! Love it! TFS
Gorgeous cards! I love your clean and simple design...just beautiful! :D
The Christmas card is wonderful. Love the snowman!
Your cupcake card looks good enough to eat!! Great job with both challenges, Silke!!
very cute, I love the snowman
I love what you did with the cupcake for the icing. I had thought of the liquid applique working well on them, but I don't have any. I definitely need to get some for my Hero Arts cupcake making. Very nicely done!
Hmmm . . . I'm thinking I can use the little snowmen image from the Window Dressing set (yes, you have it, too) to try your first card . . . maybe on a bit smaller scale. Love the layout.
BTW . . . I'm nutso about the way you snip the ends of your ribbon. Another Silke idea to CASE.
Hugs . . . M
