  • Sympathy Lily

    A big Congrats to Janette, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS313)! What  a super gallery and after much browsing, I chose her Watercolored Lily to case. I kept the colors and lily as a main image, but I used different images, die cut my layers and changed the layout a bit.

    The images are from DRS Designs. I stamped the Calla Lily Sympathy once on my main panel and the only the lily image again on a separate piece. I added some color using Copic markers and cut the extra lily out to attach to the base lily. I used a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangle for the lily panel and I used a larger Resplendent Rectangle for the light green layer. I resized this layer using a technique I call Nestie Resizing in order to make it a little shorter in length. The sentiment was stamped across the bottom of the darker green panel before I attached to my 4.25 5.50 card and added a bow I made using a mini Bowdabra.

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

    CAS-Favorite
    For today’s Technique Challenge on Splitcoast (TLC413), the focus is on the dies. I think I have just the CAS (clean & simple) card that will fit. Turns out the only heart dies I have are these huge solid and LaRue heart from Memory Box. They pretty much take up the whole card so they have to be the focus. I thought they went well w/ this cute Love You More greeting from DRS Designs. I added a couple of little hearts from the Interlocking Hearts Background beside it.  I colored and cut out just the bloom from the Single Rose and attached it in the upper left. I used a pair of mini scallop scissors across the bottom of the red panel and attached it to my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Happy Friday!

    For today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A150), we are to make a frosty friendship card. And for the Queen for the Day Challenge (QFTD146), everyone is the queen and we are to pick a card of our own and case it.  I think my little winter forest scene fits the bill on both counts. I cased my card Summer Cranes and kept the same framed layout but made it a winter scene and changed the hot summer colors into cool winter shades.

    The image is a sneak peek from DRS Designs. Since the scene is so complete all on its own, I decided to keep it simple and just let the image do the talking. I used two different rainbow ink pads to ink it up…first I used the varied greens, then tapped the bottom half against the varied blues. The moon/sun part was wiped off and I ink it w/ the black ink. I added a bit of shadowing and some color to the moon/sun using Copics.

    The oval frames were die cut and I used the white pigment ink to stamp the sentiment and little stars across the top. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
