Sliding By...

   Hello Friends and welcome!  Today’s card features this adorable set from SimonSaysStamp (Winter Hugs) and Copic coloring.  To start, I stamped several snow flake images onto a stitched rectangle panel from Neenah solar white cardstock using various blue inks.  Next, I die cut a stitched hillside border on the bottom portion on the stamped panel then layered a piece of SimonSaysStamp sea glass cardstock and adhered behind panel.  I then stamped image, fussy cut, and Copic colored.  To finish, I stamped sentiment, assembled elements and adhered to card base.  Thanks so much for stopping by... take care!  Please note: this card has been submitted to the current SimonSaysStamp Flickr Challenge #165

Plaid Carnations


Plaid Carnations...
   Hello and welcome!  Today’s card features this lovely floral set from Altenew (Paint-a-Flower: Carnation) and watercoloring using Altenew 36 half pan set.  To start, I ink blended a piece of Altenew watercolor paper using Pink’n Main plaid stencil and Spun Sugar Distress Ink.  I then stamped floral image over ink blended BG then heat embossed using Ranger Silver Pearl embossing powder.  Since I was planning on watercoloring this image, I knew that Ink Blending the BG would not interfere with the watercoloring since Distress Ink is water reactive.  I began watercoloring the image by first adding a light wash of color then going back over intensifying color and shadows.  To finish, I trimmed panel, stamped sentiment and fussy cut, they adhered panel onto trimmed piece of Vellum and pink cardstock before adhering to the card base.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!

Snow globe Shaker...

   Hello Friends and welcome!  Today’s card features this super adorable set from Lawn Fawn (snow globe  scenes and shaker add-on), Copic coloring, and Ink Blending using Distress Oxide Inks (mermaid lagoon and cracked pistachio).  To start, I die cut a stitched rectangle panel from Neenah solar white then placed Lawn Fawn’s snowflake stencil over panel and ink blended using above mentioned inks.  Next, I die cut a stitched circle from Lawn Fawn’s woodgrain white cardstock.  I then began working with the elements needed for the snow globe shaker.  First, I stamped image, die cut, and Copic colored.  Next, I ink blended a piece of Neenah solar white cardstock using above mentioned inks as a BG element to the snow globe scene.  I then stamped snow globe outline onto a piece of Lawn Fawn’s peacock card stock.  Next, I die cut several outline pieces from Neenah solar white cardstock and stacked to give room for the shaker bits to move about freely.  To finish card, I assembled the shaker globe and adhered together, assembled elements, and adhered to card base.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!
