Bat!

Hi there! Playing in the color challenge over at The Paper Players today.

Tag is made using kuretake watercolors, specifically the purple and green - I used a copic marker to add the orange. Bat die is from DCWV and the sentiment is an old one from the form There She Goes Stamp co.  Eerie eyes are from Doodlebug design. 

Since I had the watercolors out, I did one in candy corn colors too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday

Hello.  Playing in two challenges today. Let's start with the how I created my own background, which is the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp. I used #66 blue watercolor from Kuretake and dabbed it across some watercolor paper. Then I scrunched up some saran wrap, covered it and let it dry.  Next I added some splatters and some lines using a gift card, which was inked up with the unchartered mariner distress ink pad. 

Birthday sentiment was stamped with versamark and hero arts navy cardstock onto vellum then heat embossed with clear powder. I used detail does from Marker Forte to attach the vellum (highly recommend this stuff - super strong). The dragonfly is from Clearly Besotted and cut from black carstock. The outline is vellum that was colored with an ink pad (I think, it's been in my stash for a while). 

I used the sketch from The Paper Players below - which I modified slightly.

Several Christmas cards

Hello all. Happy Christmas eve. Show casing a few Holiday cards that I shared over on Instagram or will be shortly.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.

Happy Everything

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

I combined them both this time using a slimline card design. I water colored the cactus using Tombow markers. Fussy cut them out to add to the card using foam tape. The stripes behind them are also water colored. The large sentiment is from The Ton. Cactus stamps are from MFT.   

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge, once again, they have knocked it out of the park.

Hello all. Playing in the CAS marvelous metallic challenge over at The Paper Players today.

Oh Em Gee - this card was so frustrating to try and take a good picture of.  Gray rainy days will do that, I guess.

Anyway, I inked up the solid leaf in several distress oxide inks (scatter straw, carved pumpkin and candied apple) and then used Versamark to stamp the veins. Gold embossing powder from Hero Arts used for that and the sentiment. Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.

To create the splatters, I used my Kuretake watercolor paint in gold. In real life it glitters very prettily. Gold mirror cardstock used for card base and to layer the sentiment.

Tic-Tac-Toe challenge

Hello - time for another TTT challenge over at The House That Stamps Built.

I used the middle row across - water colors, blue and embossing.

I used watercolor paper and smooched around some blues to get this back ground. I then stamped the sentiment and dragonflies in Versafine ink then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. Added some dew drops for fun and interest. I cut this out using a cross stitch die and matted onto a white panel and then adhered it to a black card base.
