Season’s Greetings Dove

Posted on September 13, 2016 10:41 PM by Julie 2 Comments

Today’s Color Challenge (CC600) offered 5 different color combos. I chose the first combo…smoky slate, coastal cabana & bermuda bay. Since I don’t have the actual colors, I came as close as I could using ink & Copics.

I stamped the dove, added just a little gray shading to it, masked it, then sponged on the color for the bg. I used a few Copics to deepen the color & fill in any blank spots. Cut a few layers, die cut half of the greeting & added some gray snowflakes under the layers.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hexagon Witch Halloween

Posted on September 10, 2016 11:08 AM by Julie 1 Comment

For today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC562 ) & the Ways to Use It Challenge (WT600 ), I made this Halloween card. I was inspired by all the shapes & colors of THIS picture but I made them hexagons to fit the WT Challenge.

I die cut the white layer w/ a stitched rectangle & also die cut a large hexagon toward the top. Then I used a Copic Multiliner pen & a hexagon template to draw all the different hexagons & add the faux stitching. I’m not gonna lie…it took a while to color in all those hexagons & shade the faux stitch lines. I was so impressed w/ a card Jennifer Dove did using faux circles, I thought why not try hexagons? The cute little witch was stamped & colored on a separate piece & I cut around her hand to lift it over the frame.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Serendipity SSCB#59 – Leave it Bare!

Posted on September 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 3 Comments

Welcome to the September Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Add Fabric! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. September’s “Stamp of the Month” is 50% off & this month- it’s the Postoid Cling set! Be sure to check out the Yard Sale items and the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

Since the challenge is to NOT color the image, I thought I’d sneak in under the radar by coloring the faux stitched circles on the narrow panel underneath. I saw a card Jennifer Dove made where she drew the faux stitched circles & I thought how fun it would be to try it. So I used a circle maker to draw all the circles & added the stitch lines, then I colored them in. My circles need a bit more practice but all in all, it was fun. Except for the part where I used the long banner I already had (out of other card stock) instead of cutting it again out of X-Press It. I tested the red Copics on it (which are notorious for bleeding out of the lines) & they were fine. I didn’t test the turquoise. It spread like crazy! So I redid those on the other paper, hand cut them & glued them on top. What a pain! At least the rest of the card was easy…just some die cuts.

Here’s the inside made with the rest of my test cases (except the turquoise…I did those on the X-Press It) which were also fussy cut. Below it are the Copics I used for my faux stitched circles.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Cat, Meow Mix cling set

Paper: Staples #110 white, red, turquoise

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx

Accessories: Spellbinders A2 matting basics B, classic ovals dies, Copic markers, stitched rectangles, black Micron pen, circle maker, ODBD Surprise Box die (insert only)
