Row Your Boat

Posted on July 16, 2016 10:01 PM by Julie 3 Comments

A big congrats to Vickie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS493) on Splitcoast! She has a lovely gallery that I had fun browsing…but I kept coming back to THIS card. I loved the splash of blue water color w/ the boat image stamped on top. So I kept the water color & boat theme, but I also added a little green to the mix, used different images, turned mine vertically & added a few sequins.

To make my card, I sprinkled some Brushos water color crystals on one area of a piece of water color paper. I used the ultramarine, turquoise & a little sea green. Then I spritzed it w/ water and let it do its thing. When it dried, I put it in my Misti & stamped it (a couple of times) w/ Versafine. After stamping the greeting, I die cut it, attached it to slightly larger black layer then onto the card. I used a corner rounder on the lower edge of the card front.

Congrats again, Vickie! Thanks so much for stopping by!

A big congrats to Rita, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! Wow, does she have a BIG gallery & so many beautiful things to see. After much browsing, I chose THIS to case (copy & share everything!). I kept the flower theme & general layout, but I moved the vertical band to the other side, used different dies, different colors & made mine a Christmas card. I also realized when I went to link to Rita’s card, that she had cased a card of Kittie’s, lol. So I guess this is a case of a case!

For my card, I started w/ a large white die cut panel & narrower dot border die cut white linen panel. On the larger one, I sponged the red & red-orange inks from the bottom left corner up & out for a little ways, letting it kind of trail off at the ends, then I attached the dot border linen panel on top. I die cut the poinsettia ribbon & larger grosgrain ribbons along w/ the wider leaf poinsettia out of the same linen but I sponged the red inks on the big poinsettia & the wider ribbon.
The Merry part of the greeting was also die cut & sponged. For the center of the poinsettia, I used a frosted flatback resin button..it’s very sparkly & looks like cut glass. It was clear but I dotted it all over w/ a lipstick orange Copic marker.

I’m adding this to the Simon Says Monday Challenge – Red, White &/or Blue.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Serendipity SSCB#57 – Just Add Water!

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

Welcome to the July Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Just Add Water! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. July’s “Stamp of the Month” is 50% off & this month- it’s the Sprinkler!

The Special is Buy 3 items and the 4th one will be free (be sure you have at least 4 items in your cart!) Buy 8 items and 2 will be free – and so on, and so on… Lowest priced items are free. Clearance, $1 Stamps etc are included (but do you want your freebie to be a $1 stamp?)

Good through Monday July 4th. 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.

For my Just Add Water card, I pulled out some Distress Inks & a craft sheet to make my background. The inks were pressed onto the craft sheet, a little apart, then I spritzed it w/ water until they started to run & pressed the piece of water color paper onto the watery inks. After the first pressing, I dried it just a bit w/ my heat tool then pressed it again until I was happy with the way it looked. After drying it again, I put the background into my Misti & stamped the Dream, Imagine & Create words on the large bg & the A onto a die cut square of another section. The Misti really helped as I had to stamp these twice to get good coverage on the textured water color paper.

On the A, I used a paintbrush loaded w/ clear water & a paper towel to lift some of the color inside the A and inside the frame. Then I used Tombow makers to add the green. I also added the green to 2 letters I cut apart from the Create die to form the rest of the “Art”. The little bead curtains were made using the little chain from the Ornament Pops set & filling in the circles w/ the green marker.

Here’s a look at the inside. I haven’t figured out what greeting to use, so I left it blank for now.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Paintbrush, Believe Set, A Amaryllis, Ornament Pops Outline set

Paper: Staples #110 white, water color

Ink: Versafine onyx, Distress inks spun sugar, worn lipstick, abandoned coral, scattered straw, ripe persimmon
