Party till the cows come home

Hello. Using the sketch over at The Paper Players as a jumping off point in the TGIC Challenge of masking.

Stamps are from Your Next Stamp. I used Inkadinkado masking paper to mask the cow. Colored with Copic's. Inside message says "party till the cows come home." yes, I just had to add the googlie eyes for a fun factor. Thank goodness I had enough!

I turned the sketch on its side to accommodate the number of my cows. Designer wood paper is from Moda Scrap that I just got from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

That's it for today. See ya, gotta get back to my household chores.


 

Birthday balloons

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.

Balloon dies are from Elizabeth Crafts. I cut them out of white cardstock and then blended on some Distress Oxide colors.  Birthday sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink.  Confetti discs are from Pretty Pink Posh, which I decided to add a few just for fun. Background paper is from Paper Pizazz.  Dark Navy cardstock is used as the base for this card and the layers.

Adding this into the Simon Says Stamp challenge of layer it up, as well.


Thanks for stopping in, have a wonderful day!

Love you mixed media canvas

Hi everyone! Playing around with a 8.5 x 11 canvas and ended up with this mixed media tribute to love.

I started with some newsprint designer paper and a bit of mod podge. After it dried, I added a layer of molding paste. To get the texture, I used the Ranger texture tool. I really like that there are several to choose from on the ring and had fun playing around with them.

Once the molding paste dried I added some color using Faded Jeans and Pickled Raspberry spray stain. I blotted it off here and there to dilute the colors a bit.

The heart cut outs are done using the shakers die from PTI. I cut them out of thin chipboard and painted them. Once dry I stamped the word Love from Winnie and Walter and then heat embossed it.

Roses are from Kaisercraft that I glued on. Leaf dies are from Memory Box and Elizabeth craft designs.

Lastly, I tucked a swirl behind the solid heart and added the silver dragonfly.

I think this is my favorite piece of mixed media so far! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Valentines Day!

ETA: linking this up to the Great Impressions love, love, love challenge.

Happy Harvest

Hi everyone! I'm still playing around with the Glitz glitter and peel off stickers to create some bling. Here's a fall card this time around. Click on the picture for a better view!

Pumpkins are a peel off sticker from Elizabeth crafts and it was dusted with the Glitz glitter and then colored with Copics. I used one of the label dies from Papertrey, Ink to cut out the green and white cardstock. The white one is ran through the lattice embossing folder and then the pumpkins are popped up with foam tape.

Designer paper is from DCWV and distressed using gingerbread Versa Magic dew drops. Rounded the corners and adhered it to the kraft card base. Tied a bit of Jute string between the main image and the sentiment to break it up a bit and add some interest.

Sentiment stamp is from TAC and the die's are from Verve.

Thanks for stopping by!

Daisies

Hi everyone! I'm playing in the Verve World Card Making Day challenge. Here's the sketch to use:

Here is what I did with it.

Sentiment stamp is from Verve's Joyful Blooms set and stamped in Archival jet black ink. I was supposed to do a Holiday card but decided to use this one instead. If I have time later, I'll probably do another one.

The daisies are a peel off sticker from Elizabeth craft designs, which is a little larger than the sketch circle, but I went with it. It is  colored with Copic's after dusting with Crystal Glitter Ritz. Can you see the sparkles?

Designer paper is from My Minds Eye. Blue cardstock is from American Crafts.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy World Card Making Weekend!
