  • Daisies on the Side

    Daisies are always perfect to use on a card. These big beautiful blooms are a joy to color & the matching dies make it easy. I included a bonus color worksheet for this card.

    Congrats to Dina, the newest Featured Stamper (FS839)! She has such an amazing gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the flowers off to one side, but switched sides, used different images, dies & colors. I really like the way she used half the image, but I didn’t have an image like that & in the end, I couldn’t make myself cut these flowers in half, so….I pushed them off to the side instead.

    My daisies were all colored & die cut. I had to do a little fancy work w/ the dies, since these were already masked & stamped as one. I added the freehand border stamp to the edges of the white deckled panel & stamped the second half of the greeting, replacing the You w/ a die cut one. I used the second largest mini slimline die to cut the lavender panel & placed it behind the white one.

    Here are the Copics I used:

    On a side note, I chose these colors because of a color worksheet I did for an earlier card (which you can see HERE). I didn’t use the blues/purples on that card, but I saved the work sheet & used those colors for my card today.

    Thanks

  • Party Time


    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast (IC900) & I chose a really fun site w/ lots of ideas..The Refab Diaries & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture. I thought the bright colors & hodgepodge of items would be perfect for the image I wanted to use.

    After stamping & coloring this party image, I fussy cut it (actually pretty easy since it’s just a rounded outline). I popped it up just a bit on a mini slimline bg & backed it w/ a piece of polka dot paper. The banner was stamped separately, fussy cut & popped up on the original banner area. For this greeting & the large Happy & Birthday words, I used a combo of Versaclair Glamorous & Purple Delight, stamping one then the other on top of it,  to get the right color to match the paper (the Misti is essential for this). After I die the words, I used the leftover part as a reverse mask & stenciled in the pinkish shadow.

    You can see the finished Happy at the top & the reverse mask/stencil of Birthday at the bottom.

    Here the stenciling/sponging is finished.

    I placed the stamped, die cut words slightly offset to allow the shadow to show behind them.


    Here are the Copics I used for the image:

  • Birthday Bunnies

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC899), we’re visiting Pexel where I found THIS cute image.

    My birthday card features some really cute little bunnies & a tasty triple layer birthday cake. I colored the image & die cut it, then added a white rectangle w/ some darker green at bottom behind it. A lime green scallop frame was added around it. A piece of a new party paper pad was attached behind w/ a larger lime green panel on the bottom.

    The bunnies were popped up just a bit & the greeting was stamped directly onto the patterned paper.

    Here are the Copics I used:
