Snowman Ornament

Posted on October 25, 2011 5:52 PM by Julie 6 Comments

Very cool combo challenge on Splitcoast today (CC346)! I like it for winter cards. I had to use as close a clone as I could come to the razzleberry so mine may be a little on the purple side.

All images are sneak peeks of new Our Daily Bread designs images to be released 11/1/11! Now the snowman scene wasn’t specifically designed to go w/ the new Spellbinders ornaments, but I think it fits nicely and I like the snowman a little out of the box. The scene was colored w/ markers then I added some stickles on top for snow sparkle.

The white was embossed w/ snowflake ef and since it’s a one sided embossing, I was able to add the sentiment in the lower right. The ribbon was originally pink w/ silver flakes, but I used markers to make it match. The card measures 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD – Warm Wishes, Ornament 2

Paper: Neenah white, dp (It Takes Two), razzleberry textured clone (DCWV jewel tones stack)

Ink: Ancient Page coal, neptune, Memento lilac posies

Accessories: Tombow markers, water brush, Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament 2011, stickles, ribbon, Cuttlebug flurries ef

Happy Friday!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I’d love for you to drop in and check out my card on the DRS Designs Blog today.

Ever have one of those days where you know exactly what card you want to make? Clear picture of it in your head and you sit down and make it. Happens to me all the time… NOT!! I still have the picture of that card in my head but it really isn’t thiscard. The scenic bg oval is close to what I pictured but it didn’t have the cardinal in front. But the Cardinal on Branch wanted to be there and he was downright insistent! So there you have it!

So maybe the cardinal worked out to be a good choice and in the end, I’m pretty happy w/ it. For the oval snow scene, I picked a couple of oval dies for the pine green and top white layer and after cutting them, I penciled in the oval on the front of my 5.50 x 4.25 white card. I placed a reverse mask (the same oval cut out of a piece of scratch paper placed over the surrounding card front). Using torn edge strips for masks for the ground, I sponged in the sky and added a little blue for the snow.

I used pine green and dk brown markers to ink the Pine Bough and stamped it on top of the scene. For the top layer, I used the same markers to ink the pine cones from the cardinal image and used a stamp positioner to place them. The cardinal and one pine cone were stamped on a separate piece, colored w/ markers and cut out. The sentiment only from the Three Wisemen Peace image was stamped in the lower left. I added stickles on the branches for a little sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Supplies:
stamps: Cardinal on Branch, Three Wisemen Peace, Pine Bough
paper: white, pine green
ink: VersaFine onyx, Memories sky blue, Distress ink dried marigold

Snowflakes & Pines

Posted on October 19, 2011 11:24 AM by Julie 4 Comments

Super sketch today at Splitcoast (SC355). For my Snowflakes & Pines card, I’ve used images from Innovative Stamp Creations Festive Season. The pines were white embossed onto dk loden green c/s then cut w/ a Spellbinders label die. A larger mat of ivory was cut w/ a larger die from the set. They’re attached to a square of dp, an ivory mat, loden mat and an ivory card.

The sentiment was stamped w/ olive ink and cut w/ a nestie ribbon tag die. Ribbon was inserted through the tag and snowflakes were cut out and attached on top. Holly leaves and more snowflakes were stamped and cut out and branches were punched and all were attached around the top of the tag. Stickles was added on these as well as the trees. A few snowflakes were punched and added to the upper right corner.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ISC – Festive Season

Paper: ivory, loden green, dp (Karen Foster)
