Little Peony

Posted on April 28, 2015 10:44 AM by Julie 1 Comment

For today’s Color Challenge on Splitcoast (CC528), we have soft colors..sky, pink & sand. I had some designer paper that had close to the same colors so I built my card around it. I’m not sure why the peony looks sort of orangey here..in real life, it’s a lot more pinky.

After I water colored the peony & background, I used the out of the box technique to die cut it. I added a white layer then put it back on top of the larger background I cut it from originally. Another white layer then it was added to the stitched layer along with the piece of dp.

The Happy was die cut 3 times & stacked together for more dimension, then a few sequins added for a little sparkle. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hey, Cupcake!

Posted on April 27, 2015 11:18 AM by Julie 1 Comment

For the Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS322) today on Splitcoast, the challenge to make a card with a cupcake on it. I had this big grin piggie & a fun “Hey, Cupcake!” greeting. So as I’m putting my card together, I start thinking…I need a really little cupcake. What to do? I started looking at my punches, figuring I should be able to put something together. The bottom of the cupcake is a little teacup punch. I cut off the handle & drew a few lines to make the cake part. The frosting part is a little cloud punch & I drew a few lines to look like frosting. I had a little candle punch, so that was handy. I think it’s just the right size!

The Wordy Birthday greeting was stamped 3 times on the background & I added a narrow strip of black to the upper & lower edges then added my cupcake bearing pig on top. I used a black glaze pen to add the 3 black dots in the lower right corner. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Purple Birthday

Posted on April 25, 2015 10:53 PM by Julie 3 Comments

A big congrats to Francie, the newest Featured Stamper! My goodness, what a COLORFUL gallery she has! It was so hard to pick, but the colors on THIS card really spoke to me. I kept the fabulous purple colors & flowers, but I used different images, a little bit different layout and made mine a birthday card.

I had a small melted crayon background with these wonderful pinky/purple colors and it reminded me of Francie’s beautiful purple hydrangea card, so I die cut a frame to go around it & attached it behind the opening. For the flowers, I sponged the colors from the Kpad, die cut them then decided they needed a white border so I trimmed them a little closer & die cut another solid white version & attached the trimmed version on top. I used a white Prismacolor pencil to add just a touch of white in areas on the flowers.

A die cut Happy was attached on top of the melted crayon bg, the flowers & leaves attached & some sequins for a little sparkle.
Congrats again, Francie! Thanks so much for stopping by!
