Poppy Wishes

Posted on August 25, 2018 9:54 PM by Julie 2 Comments

A big congrats to Mandy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS603) on Splitcoast! She has such a pretty gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I liked the emboss resist & the masked off lower section, so I kept those. But I used different images, different colors & added a die cut image on top.

For my card, I put the white panel in my Misti, masked off the lower 2/3 of it & stamped the poppies w/ London Fog ink. After coloring them in w/ Copics, I overstamped them w/ white pigment ink then heat embossed them w/ white powder. I masked them off then stamped the flourish, embossed it, then sponged in the tumbled glass Distress ink on the background. A separate poppy image was stamped, colored, embossed & die cut w/ the matching die & I added it on top. After stamping the greeting, I added a turquoise layer & some dots w/ metallic white dimensional fabric paint & a few sequins.

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

Happy Autumn

Posted on August 20, 2018 11:29 PM by Julie 2 Comments

With the warm, rainy & humid summer we’ve had, I sincerely hope fall is coming sooner rather than later. So for today’s Clean & Simple (CAS495) & Technique (TLC704) Challenges I made a fall card. The CAS challenge was to use different fonts & the TLC was to use only a third of the card front.

To make my card, I made a shaving cream background w/ Distress reinkers then stamped & die cut the leaves out of it. After die cutting the white panel, I traced around a smaller die w/ a brown fine tip pen then added just a bit of a shadow. The words were paired together from two different greetings.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Dare to Get Dirty & other challenges

Posted on August 12, 2018 5:16 PM by Julie Comment

I’ve fallen a little behind on my posting & here are 2 cards I made for Dare to Get Dirty Challenges & also the Inspiration & Featured Stamper Challenges. For all the details of the DTGD challenges, go HERE…but you’ll need to be a Fan Club member.

This first one was for the Inspiration Challenge (IC662) &.THIS & THIS were my inspirations. I loved the palm trees in the first, and the colors in the second. And, I used a technique from TLC698, gel plate impressionism. Basically, you put a gel plate into your Misti, ink it up w/ Distress oxide inks, mist w/ alcohol (the rubbing kind, lol), stamp your image on top w/ dye ink, then place your card stock on top of the gel plate. So that’s what I did. The colors move around & mix a bit & the silhouette isn’t quite as sharp as it would be, but the overall look is pretty nice. After it dried, I added the seagulls & a little white highlighting on the palms. Here’s the inside.

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Palm Tree Line , Seaside Dock , Sending Sunshine (inside: Sun Shine On You )

Paper: Staples 110# white

Ink: Distress oxide inks peacock feathers, squeezed lemonade, worn lipstick, cracked pistachio, Memento tuxedo black

Accessories: Misti, Lil’ Inker stitched rectangle dies, Gelli plate, white gel pen

This card was for the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS601). I chose THIS to case. I kept the cactus in the desert theme, but I used different images, different colors & added a greeting. I also got a kick out of Beth’s description of her card.

To make my desert scene, I stamped the Cowboy Cactus, masked it, then stamped the Broken Flower Fence around it. Makes it kind of look like the cowboys are out fixing the fence & left a hat & rope on the cactus. After coloring everything, I die cut it w/ a wonky stitched rectangle then added some clouds & a sunflower for the sun rays. The greeting is part of the Western Word Square & I used a wonky circle die to cut it. Here’s the inside & next to it are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Cowboy Cactus (new!), Broken Flower Fence , Western Word Square (inside: Saddle Up Greeting )

Paper: Staples 110# white

Ink: Memento tuxedo black

Accessories: Misti, Copic markers, Gina Marie wonky stitched rectangles & circles dies, Serendipity sunflower die, Spellbinders cloud dies
