Praying God Sends Sunshine

I got home from CHA late last night, and now it’s Dare to Get Dirty week at Splitcoaststampers! One of my favorite weeks of the year!

Each and every month since 2004, the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen Designers have offered up a monthly gallery of beautiful eye candy that we feel, is some of the best of the best of paper crafting.

Fan Club members are paper enthusiasts around the globe who help to  support Splitcoast with a small annual donation to the site, and as a small thank you, we gift them with the Dirty Dozen Fan Club gallery each month on the 15th!

To celebrate the Dirty Girls and our amazing Fan Club members, we’ve hosted Dare to Get Dirty challenge week for many years!! What a better way to celebrate paper crafting!

This is just my card for one of today’s challenges, hosted by Dirty Girl Rainy. If you are a Fan Club member, you can find the master list of challenges in this forum.

This sentiment is from a newer MFT set called Cheerful Blessings. Such thoughtful expressions in this set,  I know that I’ll use it over and over again!

The sentiment was stamped on white cardstock with Blu Raspberry ink from MFT, cut with Open Scallop Die-namic and then spritzed with Ginger Ale Smooch Spritz for the slightest shimmer. TIP: When working with sprays and mists, do not point the spray directly on your project. Spray above the intended placement for the ink and allow the mist to fall onto your project. You’ll avoid blobs that way. 😉

I used Distressed Background Blocks, also from MFT to add texture to the top aqua blue layer. My decorative layer and scalloped accent were both created with the MFT Blueprints 4 Die-namics.

Lots of great fun coming this week with Dare to Get Dirty. I was super busy before CHA to get ready for the week of fun. I’m excited to share my projects, and I can’t wait to see what our Fan Club friends come up to submit for participation and PRIZES! When you play, leave me a comment with a link to your SCS gallery. I’d love to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll see you tomorrow with another project and some fun CHA photos! Have a beautiful Saturday!
