Best Blossoms

Posted on April 22, 2015 6:01 PM by Julie 6 Comments

Since I didn’t have a chance to do the Color Challenge (CC527) on Splitcoast yesterday, I’m combining it with the Sketch Challenge (SC537) today. When I started out, I wasn’t sure I would be able to work these colors but I found one piece of a sand card stock which is a dead ringer for the sahara sand. Other than white, that’s the only card stock I used. I white heat embossed the flowers & greeting on the sand card stock. On the flowers, I used Prismacolor pencils to add the other 2 colors…wasabi & pink. For the sketch, I turned the square to better fit & the die cut border serves as my long horizontal panel.

After I die cut the sand card stock, I colored a narrow strip w/ a pink pencil & attached it behind the cut out to act as the ribbon element on the sketch. The flowers were fussy cut & attached on my square/diamond shape. I also used the pink pencil around the border of the sand layer & added a fussy cut butterfly.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs –Dogwood Branch, Special Day Wishes, Three Butterflies

Ink: Colorbox frost white pigment

Paper: Neenah white, sahara sand clone

Accessories: Spellbinders square, A2 matting basics A, Anne Border strip dies, Lil’ Inkers stitched rectangle die, Prismacolor pencils, white embossing powder, sequins

A big congrats to Mary, the newest Featured Stamper (FS428)! She has such a super gallery & I noticed she uses this big circle front & center layout quite a bit, but I was really inspired by THIS card. I kept the layout and bow but used different images, slightly different colors & added some fussy cut lilies & left off the lace trim.

For my card, I stamped, colored & fussy cut two of the big calla lily images & one of the small lilies from the candle image. I already had the white die cut circle, so I stamped the rest of the candle image & the greeting on top. The backing circle was die cut then I stamped the stained glass image on top, colored it in, added a larger black circle behind it & a white lacy edge circle behind that.

The bow was also die cut, a little color added and attached on top of the lilies. Some white sequins were attached for just a little sparkle. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

Congrats again, Mary! Thanks so much for looking!

Serendipity SSCB#41 pt 2 – Spring Fever!

Posted on March 18, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 10 Comments

Welcome to the March Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is Spring Fever! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. For the Design Team, we have the added challenge of using crystal effects on our cards. And as always, we have a have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player and the sale this week is free shipping on all US orders of $15 or more. Good through 3/25.

For my Spring card, rain, umbrellas, flowers and showers come to mind when I think of Spring. I started by sponging a white panel from the top left corner down using the yellow inks and sponging the pink inks from the right corner up. I die cut the center panel out of the larger one using the stitched rectangle then stamped the flower corner w/ black in the upper left. I added just a bit more color to the flowers and leaves with Copics and used a white gel pen in the flower centers. After masking the flower corner, I stamped the beaded string background with white ink and white embossed it. I wiped a bit of the ink off the lower edge to make it an angled background.

I added some crystals to some of the dots and some clear dimensional glue (the closest thing I had to crystal effects) on the rest. It was also added to all the flower centers. You can probably see it a little better in the picture above. A few extra flowers were fussy cut and added here & there. The umbrella was die cut out of white & also vellum, the center was replaced w/ the vellum & the lacy topper added along with greeting. I added a narrow white layer under the top layer and attached it back on top of the original panel. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used on the flowers.

I used smaller sponged panel & umbrella on the inside along with the sponged Congratulations die cut.

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps –Floral Lace Corner, Beaded Strings Background, Shower
