Angel Ornament

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

I chose to do the middle column across.  The angle is paper pieced using patterend paper.  I used round coasters to create my ornament. I cut the middle out, then heat embossed it several times using silver embossing powder.  Added some clear plastic to the back of it to so that I could create a shaker out of this. I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out the angel. White gel pen used to highlight the stripes on her robe. The wings are colored with Copic's then highlighted with a sparkle pen. It's hard to see in the photo, but IRL, it looks cool. 

There's a new challenge every week over at  The House That Stamps Built, and you don't have to use Repeat Impressions stamps to link up or win. Also, for my blog readers: Enjoy the 10% discount code to the Repeat Impressions Store posted on the sidebar.

Just because - DCC things with wings

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we are welcoming back Patti to the rock star team. She volunteered to start her return off with a bang and her designer choice this week is: Things with wings.

I created the background using distress oxide inks. I applied cracked pistachio and salty ocean onto my glass mat and added water, then ran my cardstock through it a couple of times. I like what came of it - kind of looks like water. To add further dimension, I splattered on some black marker using the TH splatter tool, then decided to add bigger white paint splatters. I did add some sparkle to the dragonfly wings using the spectrum noir sparkle brush marker.

lots of candles

Hello again. Playing in the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches today.

Birthday candle stamps from Simon Says Stamp. Colored in Copic's. Love this sketch - you can go either way with it! Added some sparkle to the flames of the candles with the clear spectrum sparkle pen.

Have a great weekend!

Celebrate the Season

Hello. Yes, second post today. Whew. Trying to get my Christmas cards done and in the mail. So, this one covers the challenges at Less is More and TGIF.

Poinsettia stamp is from Technique Tuesday. I stamped this on water color paper and then water colored it using Zig clean brush markers. After it was dry I cut it out using my Brother Scan N Cut.

Sentiment is from Hero Arts and heat embossed. Tied a piece of gold cord into a small bow and glued it on the stem. Both Poinsettia and sentiments are popped up using foam tape.

I also added some sparkle to the poinsettia using the clear spectrum sparkle pen.

Thanks for stopping in.


 

We're mermaid for each other

Hi all. Playing around with the sketch over at Less is More today. This is what I came up with.

Stamps are from My Favorite Things. I cut the mermaid out with my Brother Scan N Cut. The sentiment is bent to work with the curved edge. The edge dies are from Spellbinders.

I created the middle part using Oxide distress inks and then spritzing it with water.  Mermaid is colored with Copic's and then I added some shimmer to her fins using the clear spectrum sparkle pen.

That is for now, thanks for stopping by.

Sending my sympathies

Hello. I hope everyone is doing well. Here is my take on several challenges today.

I've had the bloom colored up and sitting in my "to make" box for a while now. It went perfect with the sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Stamp is from Altenew. Added some sparkle to it with the clear spectrum sparkle pen.

Sentiment and the small polka dot stamps are from Papertrey, Ink.  Used Fresh pigment ink in pink lemonade to go with the ink in the flower. The designer pink posy dot paper is from Lasting Impressions that I've been hoarding. I just cut up the 8 x 11.5 sheet and used it on a card previously, so this one was ready and waiting. Navy cardstock used as the base card and to layer.

The dew drops are from Katscrappiness, which I bought in a mixed sized package. Link to her shop is on my side bar.

Here are the challenges I'm entering this into. 

Challenges:
Sunday Stamps - sketch
Simon Says Stamp - going dotty
TGIF Challenges - with deepest sympathy
Addicted to CAS - Pink 

Thanks for stopping by.

Mermaid shaker card

Hi all. Just got my Monthly Hero kit yesterday and this is what came about as I played around with it.

Back ground is done using distress oxide inks. Blended broken china and cracked pistachio then used the stencil included in the kit with some water to get a pretty cool effect.

Tule used instead of acetate on the shaker window.  Glued some starfish onto it for some added color. The mermaid is stamped in versafine, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then colored with Copic's. I added some sparkle to her using a clear glitter spectrum sparkle pen.

The photo is kind of dark, but I also added a spritz or two of sparkle to the overall card using shimmer spritz. Sequins can be found at Katscrappiness - link on side bar. I did not use the ones that came in the kit.

The shaker panel is popped up onto the card base using fun foam. That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
 

Anything goes challenge

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we are doing an "Anything goes" challenge.

Played around with the Peacock distress inks and blended it out. I used a strip of post it note tape to get the clean line down the side. Then added some water drops using a paint brush.

I stamped the butterflies, colored them, added some sparkle, then popped them up onto the one's that I had stamped already using foam tape.  Added a bit of 3D dimension to this CAS birthday card.

THTSB challenge - Use a die cut

Hello! It's designer choice week over at The Houses That Stamps Built and Rock Star, Joy wants us to use a die cut on our card.

I layered my Thanks die cut with a shade of green that matched the ink I used on the dragonflies.  It's hard to tell in the picture, but the wings are highlighted with some sparkle using the clear Spectrum sparkle pen.
