Thoughtful Lilies

Posted on February 20, 2016 9:34 PM by Julie 1 Comment

A big congrats to Jenny, the newest Featured Stamper (FS472) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful garden of a gallery, with lots of flowery creations. I chose THIS to case. I kept the flowers, butterfly & doily, but moved the greeting & put it on the front panel & used different images & slightly different colors.
For my flowery card, I put the lily image in my Misti, stamped it w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics, then over stamped w/ Versafine. I repeated this for another lily then die cut both w/ the new matching Lily die. I didn’t have the exact peachy color I wanted for one of the layers, so I sponged it w/ a combo of the Distress inks then spritzed w/ my self made acrylic white paint & water spray (about 3 to 1, water to paint mix) to soften it a little. When it dried, I die cut the the 2 layers & the stitched ring behind the lilies. I added a butterfly & a partial doily die cut to finish.

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

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

ODBD February Release Look Back!

Posted on February 19, 2016 7:58 AM by Julie 9 Comments

Today we are taking a look back at the Our Daily Bread designs February Release! I’m featuring the big, beautiful Boho Egg dies in both of my cards.

The idea for this card came last week when a Splitcoast challenge wanted us to use Washi tape. I have a few rolls of it & until this card, I hadn’t even opened the package. The colors of tapes were pastel & thought they went well w/ the Pastel Paper pack. I covered a piece of card stock w/ strips of the pastel Washi tape on the diagonal then die cut the large egg background. I used more of the tape to cover the largest layer which was die cut w/ the Flourished Star Pattern die. The Boho egg topper was cut out of lilac & the mint frame, polka dot bg , all the little flowers & bow are all from the Pastel paper pack.

I added some dots of pearl pen all around the egg & in the centers of the flowers then added the Easter word at the bottom.

Supplies:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs

Paper: Neenah white, lavender, designer paper (ODBD –Pastel Paper )

Ink: (Versafine royal purple -inside greeting)

Accessories: ODBD Happy Easter, Boho Egg (retired), Flourished Star Pattern, Double Stitched Rectangles, Bitty Blossoms, Small Bow dies, washi tape, Viva pearl pen (white)

For this card, I stamped the Easter Egg Background w/ white pigment ink onto water color paper then heat embossed it w/ white powder. I used the Distress stains to dab color over the background then a wet paint brush to move the color.

I only used the topper for the Boho Egg in order to let the colors show through & I added a Medium Bow on top & the full Happy Easter die cut greeting below.

Here’s the inside using a few of the Easter Egg die cuts.

Supplies:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs – Easter Egg Background (retired), Earth’s Gladdest Day (inside)

Paper: Neenah white, water color

Ink: Colorbox Frost white pigment ink, Versafine onyx (inside)

A big congrats to Michele, the newest Featured Stamper (FS471) on Splitcoast! She has a lovely gallery & it didn’t take me long to pick THIS one to case. I kept the floral theme & used the same corner die, but I used different images, different colors & turned mine horizontal.

For my card, I started with a bright yellow/orange water color background I made a while back. I die cut it then a white layer for the top. After die cutting the corner, I stamped the large Flourished Easter greeting on it. The lilies were stamped on a piece of Hammermill white, colored w/ Copics, over stamped w/ Versafine then die cut w/ the new matching die.

I added some gems on the background & a little stickles on the flowers. Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used for the flowers.

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