Serendipity SSCB #26 -Chalk

Posted on December 18, 2013 12:01 AM by Julie 3 Comments

Welcome to a new challenge for Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is Chalk.

I will admit..it’s been a long time since I’ve used my chalks or chalk pencils. On top of that, I have a bit of bronchitis and the chalk dust really gave me coughing fits, lol. Anyway, I stamped the lovely wine image, masked it and rubbed and scribbled pink and purple chalks over the background, After I removed the mask, I used the chalk and chalk pencils to add color to the image. I then used an eraser to remove color in areas for highlights. Since it’s hard to do really detailed shading with chalk, I had decided in the beginning I would go for an Impressionistic type still life look. The coughing got to be too much with the chalk dust and the colors still didn’t look shaded enough, so I took out my Prismacolor pencils and added more shading. It was starting to look a little better, but I still wasn’t happy with it.

It’s funny where inspiration comes from, but as I was pondering what to do next, I noticed an animated short film on tv. The style was very cartoonish but I started looking at the backgrounds in the scenes. They were very mottled and had these cross hatch markings all over it and I really liked the way they looked. So I took a white Prismacolor pencil and did the scratchy bg on the top. I also used the Ink Spots image to add a little something something along the shaded edges. The framed image was so large, I had no place to put the greeting except over the image, so I added it with the Versafine onyx ink.

Stained Glass Ornament

A big congrats to Sandie, the Featured Stamper (FS358)! She has such a lovely gallery and I chose THIS card to case. I kept the die cut ornament theme and layout, but used a stained glass bg and bigger ornament with different colors and a die cut header.

For my card, I die cut a circle, left the die in place, added some swaths of color w/ my Copics, then stamped the stained glass oval on top. I drew around the inside of the die w/ a fine tip marker then took the die off. I added a die cut open flower type element, a die cut red circle and a fussy cut poinsettia ribbon slide image on top. I also added a die cut ornament top and bow to complete the ornament. For the white bg, I die cut the fading dot border and added a strip of red behind it. The first half of the greeting on the bottom and a couple of red stars.

The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Serendipity SSCB #25 – Shaped Cards

Posted on December 4, 2013 12:01 AM by Julie 7 Comments

Welcome to a new challenge for Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is a Shaped Card.

I went with a snow globe shape for my little shaker card. The wonderful winter scene was stamped and colored with Copics then I added stickles to the snow for some sparkle and white dots to the sky for falling snow. While that was drying, I die cut a snow globe out of silver card stock and a larger circle to go with it. I used another size circle to cut a piece of acetate for the front. It is big enough to fit between the smaller and larger silver circles so the edges will be covered. For fun, I die cut a snowy border die out of white then snipped off a bunch of the snowflakes and sandwiched them between the layers.

I traced around the snow globe shape on my folded white card and fussy cut it in the same shape. After cutting the scene into a circle, I elevated the acetate layers, making sure it had silicone sealant all the way around, then added some tiny silver beads and round silver confetti (not too much..I didn’t want it cover up the scene) before sealing them together. A silver string and bow were added to the top. So it’s a card…it’s a snow globe…it’s a shaker ornament to hang on the tree! These are the Copics I used to color the scene.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Winter Farm

Paper: Neenah white, brushed silver. clear acetate

Ink: Memento tuxedo black

Accessories: Copic markers, Spellbinders circle dies, Memory Box frostyville border & lg snow globe dies, white gel pen, stickles, silver beads & confetti, ribbon, silver cord, silicone adhesive
