Umbrella Girl

Posted on July 2, 2016 11:37 AM by Julie 1 Comment

I’m combining 3 Splitcoast challenges for this card…Color (CC589), Sketch (SC599), & Inspiration (IC552). For the IC, I was inspired by THIS lovely picture.

For my image, I started w/ a small rectangle of linen c/s, sponged the blue inks from the bottom up, added a mask for the horizon & sponged the purple inks from there down. After removing the mask, I sponged the pink inks from the top down until they almost met in the center. I had a little trouble getting the pink inks to go w/ the textured rose c/s I was using for the larger layer, so went over this area w/ some Prismacolor pencils to alter the color a bit. Then I placed this panel into my Misti & stamped the image w/ Versafine, added a little white in areas w/ a gel pen, then stamped it over it again. Then it was just die cutting the other layers & putting it all together.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Serendipity SSCB#57 – Just Add Water!

Posted on July 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 3 Comments

Welcome to the July Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Just Add Water! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. July’s “Stamp of the Month” is 50% off & this month- it’s the Sprinkler!

The Special is Buy 3 items and the 4th one will be free (be sure you have at least 4 items in your cart!) Buy 8 items and 2 will be free – and so on, and so on… Lowest priced items are free. Clearance, $1 Stamps etc are included (but do you want your freebie to be a $1 stamp?)

Good through Monday July 4th. Be sure to check out the Yard Sale items and the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

For my Just Add Water card, I pulled out some Distress Inks & a craft sheet to make my background. The inks were pressed onto the craft sheet, a little apart, then I spritzed it w/ water until they started to run & pressed the piece of water color paper onto the watery inks. After the first pressing, I dried it just a bit w/ my heat tool then pressed it again until I was happy with the way it looked. After drying it again, I put the background into my Misti & stamped the Dream, Imagine & Create words on the large bg & the A onto a die cut square of another section. The Misti really helped as I had to stamp these twice to get good coverage on the textured water color paper.

On the A, I used a paintbrush loaded w/ clear water & a paper towel to lift some of the color inside the A and inside the frame. Then I used Tombow makers to add the green. I also added the green to 2 letters I cut apart from the Create die to form the rest of the “Art”. The little bead curtains were made using the little chain from the Ornament Pops set & filling in the circles w/ the green marker.

Here’s a look at the inside. I haven’t figured out what greeting to use, so I left it blank for now.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Paintbrush, Believe Set, A Amaryllis, Ornament Pops Outline set

Paper: Staples #110 white, water color

American Pie

Posted on June 27, 2016 12:06 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Today’s Clean & Simple (CAS383) Challenge wants us to use Red, White & Blue. While this may not look as simple as some, I only colored the little pie & everything else is die cut, so pretty easy.

The piece of dp on the side & the half doily were leftovers so I used them as is. The pennant row & Patriotic pennants were stamped first w/ Memento then over stamped w/ a coordinating color of Versafine to get good coverage since they’re such solid images. After die cutting everything, it was just a matter of arranging it all.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
