TGIF Challenges #100 | Designer Spotlight - Mercedes Weber

What a massive week we have here at TGIF Challenges!!! This week we are celebrating our 100th challenge!!! 

To commemorate and celebrate this fantastic achievement we are highlighting the founder of TGIF, Mercedes Weber.

After checking out Mercedes blog and her creations I think I've channeled my inner 'Mercedes'.

The things I noticed about Mercedes creations is that she uses lots of doilies, glimmer paper, twine and thread. I loved one of her most recent creations with the scrunched up black and white stripe DSP, from the Pop of Pink pack, so that is where I thought I would start.

To make this card a bit more my own with a Mercedes feel I flicked Gold Wink of Stella over the DSP layer and then adhered that beautiful Delicate White Doily in the middle.

Next then I wrapped some Flirty Flamingo Ribbon and Gold Metallic Thread around the card layer and then added the Gold Foil Stitched Shapes circle and the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate for some added embellishment.

I finished off the card with the big sentiment from Scenic Sayings and the 'Happy Birthday' from Thoughtful Banners. To get I shinny sheen on the 'Hey there, friend' I first inked the stamp with Versamark ink and then with Archival Basic Black ink. Once I stamped the stamp I quickly poured over Clear Stampin' Emboss powder and heat set it for that shinny look. 

All finished off with some Gold Glimmer Paper and some Black sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment. I hope that you like my 'inspired by Mercedes' creation and I'm so looking forward to seeing what you come up with for this fabulous challenge.
