Shamrock Wreath Shenanigans

Posted on February 24, 2018 9:59 PM by Julie Comment

A big congrats to Carol, the newest Featured Stamper (FS577) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout & curvy border but I used different images, different colors & made mine a St. Patrick’s Day card.

For my Shenanigans Wreath, after stamping & coloring the Shamrock Circle, I stamped the Good Luck Circle inside, colored it & die cut it w/ a circle die. I didn’t want all the white space left on the inside of the wreath, so I fussy cut it & added a marigold layer behind it.

The lower edge was die cut & more of marigold added under it. On the cut off part, I stamped the Silhouette Shamrock Field w/ the lt green ink & added just bit more darker green inside the petals. I added some wink of Stella on the wreath & it’s nice & sparkly in real life!

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

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stained Glass Easter

Posted on February 19, 2018 10:44 AM by Julie 2 Comments

Today’s Technique Challenge (TLC678) & Clean & Simple (CAS469) are both about backgrounds. The TLC wanted us to make a stained glass bg & I totally cheated on this one. I promise, if I have time, I’ll come back & do it right. 😉

I put the Stained Glass Oval image into my Misti then stamped the image w/ Memento desert sand. I knew I wanted to gold emboss it but since I also wanted to color it w/ Copics & the two don’t play well together, so it was stamped first w/ an ink color that would allow me to see the lines but also disappear when embossed.

After coloring it, I over stamped it w/ gold pigment ink then heat embossed it w/ gold powder. I die cut a piece of lilac card stock & a larger piece of sage green then cut the ovals out of the centers. The Happy Easter Cross was stamped, colored & I cut around the top to let more of the stained glass show through then attached it behind the oval frames & then on top of the stained glass background.

Here are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stamps: DRS Designs – Oval Stained Glass, Happy Easter Cross

Paper: Staples 110# white, pale lilac, pale sage

White Flowers & Sunset Iris

Posted on February 17, 2018 10:20 PM by Julie 1 Comment

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS576) on Splitcoast, so a big congrats to Susy! After browsing her lovely gallery, I kept coming back to THIS card. I love the white on kraft & layout so I kept those, but I used different images, added a couple more layers & made mine a birthday card.

After stamping & white embossing then I added some pale colors w/ Prismacolor pencils. I added a fussy cut tab w/ the greeting on it & a fussy cut dragonfly on the ribbon. I used a white gel pen to add some dots because I forgot I wanted to add some white splatter before I put the card together 🙂

Here’s a look at the inside.

Supplies:

Stamps: Innovative Stamp Creations – Oriental Nature Elements

Paper: Staples 110# white, kraft

Ink: Colorbox frost white pigment (fluid chalk ink used on inside)

Accessories: Prismacolor pencils, Lil’ Inker stitched rectangles, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, white embossing powder, polka dot tulle ribbon

And also, I have a card I made for the Inspiration Challenge (IC637) because I forgot to post it yesterday.

I was inspired by THIS iris, Be Original. Somewhere along the line, the colors went a little sideways & I think I created a totally different hybrid iris!

After coloring, I did a little out of the box when I die cut it. I was looking thru some old backgrounds I made eons ago & came across part of one made w/ Marvy metallic markers & the colors seemed right.

Here are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: Anita’s – Iris, The Stamps of Life – Back to Basics

Paper: Staples 110# white, X-Press It white, purple, glossy white

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Stazon black

Accessories: Copic markers, Spellbinders A2 matting basics B & circles dies, Cuttlebug embossing folder (Matelesse), Marvy metallic markers
