Winter scene

Hello. Playing in the Paper Players "Be a Deer" challenge today.

I ink blended the background using the trio of ink from Simon Says Stamp (morning, twilight, and galaxy).  Then added the black die cuts to create a silhouette scene.  I believe these dies are from Memory Box, however, I've had them in my stash for so long I can't remember.  I also added some snowflakes using embossing paste through a stencil. Lastly, I added a bit of white splatter and shimmer spritz to the card. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Season's Greetings

Hello all - playing in the current sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.

Used uncharted mariner distress oxide ink to blend out the dashed snowflake background panel die from Waffleflower. I added some white paint splatters (spray ink from Avery Elle) and spritzed some sparkle shimmer spray on it too. It's so hard to capture a good sparkle in the photos, but in real life both the snow flakes and the blue background panels look awesome.

Snowflake die is from Picket Fence. Sentiment is an old one from Papertrey, Ink. 

Have a great weekend! 

Merry Christmas Snowflakes

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #499 today.  It's a super easy clean and simple card too!

Embossed the corners with the Stampin up sizzix snowflake embossing folder (which is retired). Stamped the sentiment in versamark and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. Sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.  Silver cardstock is from the Tim Holtz metallic ideology collection.

I also spritzed this with shimmer spritz but it doesn't show up in the photo. In real life is glistens.

Just a note - ink lifting

Hello. It's my turn to do a Pick of the Week project and I'm revisiting one I did a while ago on alcohol ink lifting. I had saved one of the backgrounds that I created previously and put it to use for this weeks card. 

You never know when one of the background you create when your having fun will end up working on a new project.  I added some Nuvou black drops for the centers of the flowers. The small butterfly die from Memory Box worked well for the center of the flower vine.  Just a note stamped and heat embossed with inks that match the alcohol inks. Finally, I spritzed this with some sparkle shimmer spritz. I can't believe it actually shows up in the photos.

That's it for now. Join us on Wednesday for our Black and White challenge. 

Thanks,

Snowflakes

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #462 today. Used non traditional Christmas colors for this one. 

Snowflakes stamp is an old one from Great Impressions. I used color fuse ink from Rubbernecker that matched the ombre paper I used on the background. Snowflake background stamp is also from Rubbernecker and stamped using Hero Arts unicorn ink.  I spritzed it with shimmer spritz for some added sparkle that is cool in real life. Inside snowflake is from Technique Tuesday.

Thanks for stopping in.

You're such an inspiration

Hello all - playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.

Kept this one very clean and simple. Distress Oxide inks used on the butterflies and the blue panel. Butterfly dies are from Memory Box. The little dragonfly stamp is an oldie, but goodie from Stampendous. Sentiment is from Reverse Confetti.

I used life changing brushes and tumbled glass oxide ink to create the backdrop. I also added some fun foam behind it so that it is set off from the card base.  Sparkle shimmer spritz is added to the entire card for added interest, but didn't photograph well.

Thanks for stopping by!

Let it snow

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!
 

Designer choice challenge

Hello. To start off the new year at The house that stamps built is a designers choice challenge. Shirley wants us to make a winter card. It sure has been cold and clear in my neck of the woods, so I came up with this.

I stamped the trees in field green dye ink from Hero Arts and then continued to ghost stamp it in the back ground.

Using a snow stencil, I added some dimension with embossing paste. I did spritz it with frost shimmer spray to give it a bit of sparkle.

You can find the tree and sentiment stamp at Repeat Impression at the link below.

So what are you waiting for?!

Joy

Hi all. Here's my take on a couple of challenges today.

It's all about clean and simple for this one and the bonus of it is, that it can be mass produced.

Joy die is from my local stamp store and you can find it here.=> LINK

I added a snowflake (die from MFT) for the center of the O. You can't tell in the picture, but I did spritz it with some shimmer frost.

Popped the white panel up using foam tape onto a pure poppy card base.

Thanks for stopping by.

Celebrate with style

Hi everyone. Here is my take on the color challenge over at less is more. The colors would be turquoise and lilac.

Stamps are from Sugarpea Designs and the ink colors are from Hero Arts.

I sprayed this with some shimmer spray from Tsukineko. In real life it very sparkly.

I ended up cutting one of the dots off of the stamp that I used on top to stamp around the sentiment. Worked like a charm.

Thanks for stopping by!

Dahlias

Hi everyone! Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

Dahlia stamps are from Altenew and stamped with Fresh Ink from Impress Stamps. I did spend some time fussy cutting the two flowers and leaves out. The bigger of the two dahlias is popped up using foam squares to give this a bit of dimension.

Thank you sentiment is from My Favorite Things and the square die is from Impression Obsession. I found some pink vellum in my stash and taped it on the back of panel. I love the texture that it adds to the card.

I did spritz this whole card with some frost shimmer spritz but it was really really hard to get it to pick up in the photo. It's subtle but adds that little bit extra. Which is why I'll go ahead and add this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of adding some shimmer.

Thanks for stopping by!
ETA: adding this into the photo challenge over at Allsorts Challenge blog. 

Winter wonderland

Hi everyone. The challenge over at Simon Says Stamp for the Monday challenge is a Winter Wonderland theme and this is what I came up with.

I stamped the snow in the back ground using white ink and the snow back ground stamp from My Favorite Things onto a gray card base. 

Deer and tree dies are from Memory Box and the little red bird is from Impression Obsession.

I had to cut the bird out of red - this scene was just calling for a cardinal up in the branches.

I did spritz this with some frost shimmer spritz from Tsukineko. In real life this looks so wintery.

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