Birch Forest

Posted on February 22, 2019 10:22 PM by Julie 2 Comments

We have a really wonderful site for the Inspiration Challenge this week..Fine Art America. I had a really hard time choosing, but finally went w/ THIS picture.

I didn’t have any fox images or dies (will have to see about that!), so I used a deer family die instead. I die cut them out of sand colored c/s then used Prismacolor pencils to add a little color to them. The snow hills & birch trees were cut out of white & shaded w/ Prismas. On the lg black bg, I splattered it using a paintbrush & some white acrylic paint. Usually, I like to have a greeting on the front & it feels a little odd not to have one & not to use any stamps at all, but I guess I’ll get over it 😉

Here’s a look at the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Coffee Love & Hippo Heart Day

Posted on January 19, 2019 11:21 PM by Julie 1 Comment

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS624) so a big congrats to Marge! She has an absolute fabulous gallery & for my first card I chose THIS card of Marge’s. I liked the circle w/ the heart inside & coffee theme, so I kept those. But I used different images & dies & a different layout.

After coloring & die cutting this cute owl, I die cut the royal & turquoise pieces. On the big banner, I had to use my die resizing technique to make it longer. The hearts were also die cut & added along w/ the greeting.

Here’s the inside & the Copics I used.

My second card was inspired by THIS card of Marge’s. I liked the different scenes inside the circles so I kept that. But I have way more circles & different images & colors.

After die cutting the stitched circle bg, I colored & die cut the little images & more circles out of a couple of black & white pieces of dp. I added a larger red-violet layer & let it show thru on a lot of circles. It originally was a deep rosy pink so I sponged on some picked raspberry Distress ink to darken the color.

Here’s the inside & Copics I used.

North Coast Creations Dec Release!

Posted on December 15, 2018 7:58 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Welcome to the North Coast Creations December Release! We have some really cute images & matching papers for you! These Christmas critters are just adorable & so fun to color!

For my first card, I used this caroling trio. After stamping & coloring, I die cut & added a silver glitter die cut Fancy Circle behind it. I used some of the little All the papers are from the matching Very Merry paper pad & the greeting is from a fabulous set of Holiday Words.

Here’s the inside & the Copic colors I used.

My second card uses another image from the set & more of the coordinating papers.

After stamping & coloring I again die cut w/ the Double Stitched Circles dies. I lined up where the circle would be & stamped the branches again on the blue layer. I wanted it to look like the owls were in front of a huge moon w/ the dark blue sky behind them.

I also die cut a couple of the Elegant Emboss embellishment ornaments out of white then snipped out the snowflakes to add on the blue background.

Here’s the inside & the Copic colors I used.
