Group photo

Hello, it's Laurie again and welcome back to another card for the new Halloween Ghost stamp set that will be released soon. I call this one, Group Photo.

I did a lot of masking for this one. I used intense black ink from Honey Bee stamps to stamp them all out, which is a Copic friendly ink. Then spent some time coloring them all out. I did add some goofy/scary bloodshot marks to the ghost holding the sign with a red gel pen. All of the eyes are highlighted with glossy accents. So in real life they a super shiny, but it never shows well in photos. 

I will be back next soon with another card to showcase this fun new set.

Thanks!

Me time!

Hello. Playing in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of creating a scene. Here is one I created a a while back ago that I call "me time."

Stamps are from My Favorite Things. Masked off a few images and colored with Copic's.  Here's hoping we all have those "me time" places or times where you get to rest and recharge your batteries.

Have a great weekend.

Up, up and away....

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This month all of our weekly challenges will be Anything Goes!

I decided to go with a slimline card for the sky and balloons on this one. Cloud stencil is from A colorful life designs and I used tumbled glass distress ink with a blending brush. I did create masks for the balloons and they're colored with Copic's.

Birthday balloons

Hi everyone. Happy New Year! It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is Anything Goes - and we will continue it for the entire month of January.

I stamped and masked the balloons to create this clean and simple birthday card. Used a die to cut out the sentiment.  Positioned the happy over the balloons, then used the negative to add the birthday, that way I kept it spaced correctly. I don't know about you all, but even if I use a ruler, it still doesn't line up sometimes. So much easier to use the negative as a guide.

Pick of the week - masking

Hi everyone. Laurie here and it's my turn to do a pick of the week. I'm doing a bit of masking using a favorite flower power separate to create this clean and simple card.

I used some removable labeling tape to mask off the area I wanted to stamp. Then I used a T ruler and hand drew lines across the top and bottom. Added a bit of sparkle to the center of the flowers using a wink of stella pen. Layered it with black cardstock and then added it to a white cared base. 

Kept the sentiment simple with "just because" to use for any occasion.

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.


 

From the whole herd

Hello. Playing in a few Anything goes challenges today.

Stamps are from "Your next stamp."  I did a bit of masking to get all the animals in and then colored with Copic's.  Added a bit of glossy accents to each of their eyes, which made this all the more fun.
