The Write Stuff

For the Technique Challenge (TLC711), Judy used my Scratch Paper Art from a challenge I hostess in the Dare to Get Dirty 2018 by the same name. (You can see my card & the links for that HERE.) 

I used a piece of scrap paper from my stash that had been printed w/ clip art music then used as scratch paper under something I was sponging &/or brayering. It also had splatters all over it.

The white layer was die cut w/ the leaves to let the paper show thru. A splatter image was also haphazardly inked & stamped just a bit around the leaves. I added the greeting & a die cut button, & a small strip of the same scrap paper & done!

Here’s a look at the inside. I used another piece of scratch paper that had the leaves cut out as a mask to sponge the color onto the inside of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I made this for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club October Christmas Challenge! I’ve been having so much fun being a part of the challenge this year & the bonus is I’ll have a bunch of Christmas cards finished in plenty of time for Christmas this year. You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. 

For my Christmas card, I stamped & white embossed the Snowflake Package. I used a reverse mask around it then sponged on the tumbled glass & peacock feathers inks. A lipstick orange Copic was used to carefully fill in the bow & ribbon then I added a little Wink of Stella on top of the red. When I die cut it I did a little out of the box to keep the bow intact.

The large background is also emboss resist & I used some of the many snowflake images from the large bg stamp. I just cut the lg image apart so I could use the ones I wanted more easily. Only the first part of the greeting was used below the present so I put the rest on the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Today is Day 1 of Splitcoaststampers Dare to Get Dirty Challenges! And I made this for my challenge & for all the details of the challenge, go HERE…but you’ll need to be a Fan Club member. That’s easy! 

For my card, I put the cute birds into my Misti, stamped & colored them, then over stamped them to sharpen the lines. The little birds were die cut w/ the matching die & the large bird was fussy cut (rumor has it there’s a die to come!). The background is a hodgepodge of sponging, spraying & watercolor. I die cut the white layer, stamped the greeting, then added the birds. 

Here are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’ll drop in & join us for Dare to Get Dirty week!
