Serendipity SSCB#56 – Stamp a Background!

Posted on June 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Welcome to the June Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Die Cutting You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. June’s “Stamp of the Month” is 50% off & this month- it’s Love is Patient!. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

For my Ferris Wheel shaker card, I put the image in my Misti, stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine. I die cut the entire panel w/ one of the matting basics, then used a stitched rectangle die for the inside. I had to do a little into the window around the ferris wheel by determining which areas to trim around & lift above the die to keep from cutting them off. I used a clear envelope for the shaker part..sprinkled a tiny bit of glitter & added the sequins, then taped the edges shut & attached it behind the opening. I put the cut off background back behind the ferris wheel, added some foam tape all around the edges, then attached it to a slightly larger cobalt blue layer.
For the larger stamped background, I used the Ink Spots image and the sky blue ink all over the die cut layer then attached everything to my card.

Here are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Ferris Wheel, Uplifting Sentiments, Ink Spots

Paper: X-Press It white, Staples #110 white, cobalt blue

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx (to overstamp image after coloring), Memories sky blue

Accessories: , Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, Copic markers, MISTI, stitched rectangles dies, sequins, stickles waterfall dry glitter

Does this image make you thirsty, lol? It’s been a 5 O’Clock kind of week around here. And I just love images w/ colorful, tasty beverages in them. After coloring them I die cut them & added some equally colorful layers of papers behind them. I thought the Relax die would fit in perfectly w/ the image.

I added some stickles here & there for a little sparkle.

I’ve shown this on other posts, but I’m always amazed at how much sharper the image looks after over stamping w/ Versafine. Below.. left is just w/ Memento & Copics..right is after stamping again w/ Versafine (click any picture to enlarge).

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

Fairy Birthday

Posted on May 11, 2016 5:51 PM by Julie 2 Comments

This is for today’s Sketch Challenge (SC592) on Splitcoast. My version is flipped from the original..I’m not sure why I did this..it just looked better to me.

I did my usual..put the images in my Misti, stamp w/ Memento, color w/ Copics, overstamp w/ Versafine then die cut w/ the matching dies. Aren’t these little fairies adorable? I colored them to go w/ the deep jewel tone paper I wanted to use..it’s called Boho Bolds from ODBD. The layers were die cut & on the diagonal layer, I just positioned the Pierced Rectangle across it after I cut it the first time.

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