Color challenge

Hi everyone. It's time for a color challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. Here is the palette.

Stamp is item #10202 over at Repeat Impressions. Dragonfly is 5125-C.

I stamped the flower circle in Versafine and heat embossed with clear embossing powder so that I could color with Copic's.  Added black irRESISTible to the centers of the flowers.

Dragonfly is stamped in a light turquoise ink and then gone over with a clear spectrum glitter pen. In real life it's pretty sparkly.

The card base is black and I turned this into a square card, just to change things up a bit.  Red and turquoise layers are done with my mini perfect layer tool and the main panel is cut with a stitched square die.

That's all for today. Don't forget to drop on by the rest of the DT's blogs to see what thy did with the challenge.

Party chick!

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! I was sorting through all my stamps yesterday and came across all of my Studio G mini clear sets that were popular at M's a while ago for like $1. This little bird was always one of my favorites and works really well for the Simon Says let's Party challenge.

I stamped all of them using versafine and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Colored with Copic's, added a layer of mint cardstock from Simon Says Stamp and then placed them on the white card base. I popped up the present panel using foam tape to add a bit of interest to the card. I used the mini perfect layer tool on these and it was still a bit of a challenge to get the cuts straight on these little buggers. The smallest rectangle nesties were used to cut them out.

The mint dots came from M's reflection line that I've had in my stash for a while.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping in.

Season's Greetings

Hello! I'm feeling a tad bit better with the abscessed tooth. Ended up having to go to the emergency clinic to have them prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs and some pain killers. Once the swelling goes down I can then go to the dentist. I'm extremely lucky that I have paper work to do at work and I can do that from home. However, swelling or no, back at it tomorrow. Thanks for those who wished me well!

OK, on to some stamping stuff. Here is a card that was inspired by two challenges today.

The photo below from The Card Concept is what inspired me in color, texture and the poinsettias. I kept it as clean and simple as possible following this weeks Freshly Made sketch.

The plaid stamp is from My Favorite Things and is stamped using vintage cream cardstock and pure poppy ink from PTI. The sentiment came free from (I think) STAMPlorations in an order that I got. Vine stamp in the back is from So Suzy.

I picked up the mini poinsettia's at Hobby Lobby when they were 40% off and knew they would come in handy soon. The pine and berry dies are from Poppy Stamps. Used some red perfect pearls to add the red berries on the die cut.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

ETA: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Christmas.

Just for you

Hello! Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch. I did rotate it to fit my image.

Flower stamp is from Hero Arts. I stamped it in Versafine ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder first, then colored with Copic's.

Sentiment block is from Papertrey, Ink.

The designer paper is from Bazzill Basics and layered with black using my mini perfect layers tool.

Red satin ribbon is from my stash. I ended up popping the panel up with foam tape to give it some dimension.

That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by!

Adding this into the NBUS challenge too, since the Hero arts stamp is new and never been used.

Thinking of you

Hi everyone! I had some time last night to make this quick clean and simple card for the challenge over at CAS.ology. Cue card is mini.

I have to apologize for the darkness of the photo. It's a bit gray and drab this morning and I couldn't get my light source to cooperate.

I have so many dragonfly stamps that I've lost track of who makes this one. I stamped it twice using Versafine ink. Thinking of you sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps.  ETA: dragonfly stamp is from Impression Obsession that I surgically cut apart from its other mates. There is three of them grouped together. 

I cut this out using a die from my stash and then layered it with black using the 1/16 mark on my perfect layers ruler. If you don't have these, get them! They make layering so much easier and quicker!

Lastly, to add a bit of interest I took my stylus and scored around the edges.
