Daisies in the Lamplight FS285

Posted on July 21, 2012 10:46 PM by Julie 2 Comments

For today’s Featured Stamper (FS285), on this first card, I chose Sophie’s Bridal Shower Hearts. I just love the little falling hearts, so I kept them along with the CAS layout, but changed the images and shape of the main panels from squares to ovals.

The images are from Avocado Arts. I picked them up at a convention a couple of weeks ago where I met up w/ friends, Sandee (stampersandee) & Penny (Pawallen). (Hi Sandee, hi Penny!!) The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and is pretty CAS. The lampshade was paper pieced from some long hoarded Basic Grey Sultry paper. You know years ago when I first joined Splitcoast, I noticed I had the moniker “Cardstock Collector” under my name. I was floored!! How did they know?? Really, I looked over my shoulder! Not much has changed, lol. I still collect!

Supplies:

Stamps: Avocado Arts

Paper: Neenah white, dp (Basic Grey – Sultry collection)

Ink: Ancient Page chocolate, Memento angel pink, Colorbox rouge chalk ink

Accessories: stickles, Spellbinders mega oval & scallop mega oval dies, epoxy sticker, 1/2 inch circle punch

For my second card, I chose Sophie’s Hello Pink Flowers to case. I kept the flower theme and general layout, but changed the images, colors and turned it on its side.

The images are from DRS Designs and the background was done with a masking/reverse masking using a Cheery Lynn sunflower die and a Spellbinders circle die and sponging on the colors. I had a little white frame left over from something and arranged my flowers in and out of the frame. A little stickles was added to the flower center and the finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs

Paper: Neenah white

Ink: Distress Inks – Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Scattered Straw, Ancient Page Coal

Accessories: Spellbinders rectangle & circle dies, Cheery Lynn sunflower die, stickles, Tombow markers

Sail Away ODBD Alumni Hop!

Posted on July 19, 2012 7:58 AM by Julie 27 Comments

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs Alumni Team’s bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop. You may want to start at the ODBD Blog so you won’t miss a thing! This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop For the Love of ODBD embossing plates!

Embossing plates are a little different from embossing folders, but there are a number of techniques to really show them off. I love distressing the embossed card stock with a sanding block to bring out the little embossed fish. I made sure to use a white core card stock so that when embossed and sanded, the embossed fish would really show up. Before I embossed it, I also added a little ink to the c/s and afterwards, I really roughed up the edges.

I paired the embossed fish panel with this wonderful new ship from Surging Sea and sentiment from Smooth Sailing. Water colors were used on thin water color paper (think kid’s w/c pad), then the image was stamped and bleached. Since I was into distressing, I continued on w/ roughing up the edges and even tore a bit off one corner. The sentiment was die cut w/ a little pennant die and also distressed. The white x’s on the orange dp were added w/ a white gel pen. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD – Surging Sea, Smooth Sailing

Paper: thin water color paper, blue textured (DCWV mat stack), teal, orange dp (Basic Grey -Lauderdale collection)

Ink: Ancient Page coal & calypso blue

Accessories: Spellbinders nested pennants die, ODBD Fish embossing plate, Peerless water colors, bleach & acrylic paint brush, Tombow markers, water brush, sanding block, Grand Calibur, white gel pen

Smooth Sailing Wooden Ship

Posted on July 6, 2012 12:02 PM by Julie 3 Comments

Happy Friday! For today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A124), we are to use something ‘wood”, image or actual…whatever! So I’m using a “wooden ship” image. It’s new from Our Daily Bread designs and my new fave image.

The ship scene was stamped on white, water colored w/ markers, trimmed closely and attached to a piece of vanilla c/s that I die cut and resized to fit the image. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of the dp w/ the indigo ink and the compass was stamped w/ the tea dye ink.

The rest is all dp from a big 12×12 pad but the only name I can see on it is ATD but I liked the colors and textured papers and thought they went well w/ my vintage looking image. On the green section, I stamped the compass repeatedly with the bamboo ink then cut it in half so I could have the bands of color across the top and bottom. I hid the seam behind a striped band of dp, layered on the cranberry and a piece of gold (it’s the reverse side of the green). The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps:ODBD – Surging Sea, Smooth Sailing

Paper: Neenah white, vanilla, cranberry, dp (ATD)

Ink: Ancient Page indigo, Distress Ink tea dye, Memento bamboo leaves

Accessories: Spellbinders rectangle die, Tombow markers, water brush
