Hooked on You

Posted on April 9, 2013 11:41 AM by Julie 3 Comments

For today’s Color Challenge on Splitcoast (CC421), the colors are black, coral and baja breeze. I don’t have the exact colors, so I used my Copics to hopefully come close

The images are from DRS Designs. I stamped the Jumping Fish, I used copics to color everything then die cut the image. I traced around the die on black card stock and hand cut that layer then embossed it. It looked a little lonely in all the white space, so I put it back on top of the original layer it was cut out of and I liked it a lot better. I added a fussy cut fishing pole and stamped the greeting on the 5.50 x 4.25 card front and added a few accents w/ a white gel pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Fishing Pole, Jumping Fish, Hooked on You Greeting

Paper: Neenah white, black

Ink: Memento tuxedo black

Accessories: Spellbinders labels 21, Quickutz embossing folder (Tides set), Copic markers, white gel pen

BEST OF 2013 (x3!)

A big congrats to Lesley aka Lionsmane, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS321)! What a fab gallery she has! There were many I wanted to case, and I finally chose her Pink Cat Baby Card. I kept the general layout but moved things a bit, the soft colors and embossed background. I used different images, different embossing folder and added some punched and colored flowers.

The images are from DRS Designs. I stamped the lovely umbrella twice, added some soft shading w/ Copic markers and cut both out. I used a stylus to add some shape and dimension to the top umbrella and attached it on the base umbrella w/ a little foam tape underneath the center. The narrow little ribbon bow was also colored w/ Copics before attaching.

The background was embossed and I punched a bunch of different sized hydrangea petals out, added a little shading and tiny black dots in the centers, then used the stylus to curl the petals a bit. The sentiment was die cut along w/ the pale pink backing oval to finish my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

Congrats again, Lesley, enjoy your week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Teacher Pinwheel

A big congrats to Jennifer, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS320)! Her gallery is full of inspiration and I picked her Celebrate the 4th to case. I kept the layout and pinwheel (love making those!), but I used different images, slightly different colors and used another image in place of 2 of the buttons.

The images are all from DRS Designs. I white embossed the polka dot background on the kraft card stock and stamped the teacher tools on another piece. I colored them w/ a combination of Prismacolor pencils and Copic markers before cutting them out. The pinwheel (tutorial here) was made w/ a 2.25 square of the brilliant blue c/s and I added the piercing above and below just like Jennifer’s card. I think piercing looks great and I don’t know why I usually forget to do it. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Congrats again, Jennifer, enjoy your week! Thanks so much for stopping by!
