Random Amusing Challenge #100 blog hop

Happy Monday, everyone!  I have a fun treat for you today...I was so excited and honored when Glenda, my friend and fellow Color Dare Design Team member, invited me to be part of a blog hop celebrating her 100th challenge!  Glenda is so upbeat and always leaves such sweet comments so I was delighted to play along!

Glenda's Random Amusing Challenge #100 is to use RED on your card or project.  Use as much or as little as you like.  Incorporate it by using paper, ink, ribbon, embellishments, whatever you like!  She's even got blog candy but you must play along with the challenge to be eligible to win the blog candy.  If you play along, please leave a comment on Glenda's blog (http://papersscissorsrocks.blogspot.com) and link back to her post from your post.  If you upload to an online gallery, please use the keyword GRAC100.  You have until midnight Pacific Time on January 23rd to play along and you can play along as many times as you like.  The winner will be randomly chosen and announced on January 24th.  At the bottom of this post, you'll find an fantastic group of talented crafters who are playing along too. 

My card uses a digital edition of SU's Love Impression designer series paper and a fabulous Mojo Monday sketch from a couple weeks ago.

The sketch lent itself to a masculine card, I thought, so I had my husband in mind when making this card. The base is Basic Gray (did you know gray is the new black?!) and features Love Impressions digital DSP and some of our new Glimmer Paper!

The sentiment from Word Play was stamped in Basic Gray onto Whisper White and punched out with the 2.5" Circle punch.  Then I stamped it again in Real Red ink and punched out just the globe with the 3/4" circle punch and popped it up on dimensionals.  I was real tempted to mat it with a scallop circle but opted, instead, for a little paper piercing.  A similar framing effect as the scallops but much more masculine.
I used the sweet heart banner from Valentine Defined on the inside with a Basic Gray sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes

And, here are all the amazing crafters participating in Glenda's blog hop:
Nance Lempinen-Leedy {that's me!}

Hey Nanc, thanks for your comments on my blog. I usually use the color coach when making my cards and that was a color coach combo. Thanks for stopping. Bev
