Emilia's Challenge - Pretty Corners

Today we are welcoming Emilia to the Kitchen Sink as Guest Designer. Emilia has planned a fabulous challenge for us to use with our Kitchen Sink Stamps. You can read all about it and see her beautiful sample on her blog Emilia's Italian Inspirations.

This challenge is all about corners!! To join in and play all you need to do is dust off your Kitchen Sink Stamps and design a card on which you have embellished the corners! Use brads, use photo corners, use punches, use die cuts, use anything you can think of to dress up those corners!!

There will be three lucky winners chosen by a random number generator from those who enter using Kitchen Sink Stamps and decorative corners!! You can be one of them!! Visit the Kitchen Sink Weblog and use Mr. Linky to upload your entry!

First Prize - the large Kitchen Sink Stamp set of your choice
Second Prize - the small Kitchen Sink Stamp set of your choice
Third Prize - a full size pad of Opalite Ink - color is winner's choice

I have returned today to one of my favorite sets from the July release stamps - Letters from the Past. The sentiment comes partly (With loving thoughts) from Words of Comfort & Joy and partly (of you) from Words of Love.

I created the letter by stamping the pen first and then masking it to stamp on the script. The edge was then sponged with Close to Cocoa. For the envelope, the stamp was added with Bravo Burgundy stamped off once on the first layer and full strength on the second layer. I then stamped the post mark over it with Versafine Onyx Black and sponged the edges with Close to Cocoa.

The sentiment was embossed in gold and the corners were cut with a Cuttlebug die cut from gold metallic paper.

I then pulled the gold ribbon through the die cut corners at the bottom and tied it with a bow before attaching it to the card front.
