Lavender

Posted on April 21, 2014 10:39 PM by Julie 2 Comments

A couple of fun challenges today on Splitcoast! I love the CAS (CAS269) color inspiration picture & though I have a few layers, it really is CAS. I did have a couple of false starts with this one & the original plan was a tad simpler, but it is what it is. And I had fun trying the ribbon flower for the TLC challenge (TLC478).

I inked the lavender image w/ elderberry & n. pine ink and stamped it on w/c paper. I added just a touch of color, very quickly, then die cut it. The other layers were also die cut, so I didn’t even have to think about it. On the rectangle I did do some piercing & the word “lavender” was stamped down one side. The sheer ribbon was white & I tinted it w/ a rose quartz Copic marker.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

ODBD April Look Back!

Posted on April 18, 2014 7:58 AM by Julie 7 Comments

Today we are taking a look back at the ODBD April release! Such beautiful dies, papers and images! For my card, I used the beautiful Flourish Pattern die as the main focus. I first die cut it out of white card stock. I used a piece of card board under the card stock when I die cut it and the negative piece stuck to the card board. I placed a piece of sticker paper over this and managed to get all the negative pieces stuck to the sticker paper. The exposed area was still sticky so I coated it with black embossing powder and heat embossed it. Maybe a little involved, but I like the look of the shiny embossing powder in the space where the die cut would be.

I stamped and black embossed the Flourish Label onto neon green card stock and die cut it.The greeting is part of the Chalkboard Collection paper and was die cut as well. I also added a little Copic fluorescent green to the lettering. To finish, I added a black grosgrain bow tied w/ a narrow neon green ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to stop by and visit all of the DT Blogs for more inspiration!

Birthday Flowers

Posted on April 15, 2014 6:31 PM by Julie 2 Comments

Best of 2014!
Today’s Color Challenge (CC474) on Splitcoast uses some very pretty colors…pink, pistachio & vanilla. The dessert option was a little tough…NO STAMPING! That may be easy for some, but it was a little tougher for me because I love to use images and I love to color them. For my card, I did manage the dessert. I relied on die cuts and punches to see me through.

For the vanilla panel, I used only the first half of a Memory Box die cut. The whole die says “Happy Holidays”. But I positioned it on the top of my vanilla panel, taped it place, then let the “holidays” part hang off of the cutting plate. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but it did! The birthday die is a little Sizzix sizzlet and I only used the birthday part instead of the whole “happy birthday”. The flowers, flower border and branches were all done with punches. I sponged a little darker pink ink on the petal edges and added some tiny black dots on the border flowers and tiny flowers. The big green leaves are from a poinsettia die. I used a dk pink Copic to color my rhinestone brad to match.
