    I’m so excited to be a guest for the Inspiration Challenge (IC423)! Audrie was kind enough to ask me and I love the site she chose! After browsing for a long while, I kept coming back to THESE vases. I just love the colors and curves so I tried to incorporate those in my card.

    I cut a piece of white card stock then used a Spellbinders curved border die to divide it in 3 pieces. I had to turn the die a couple of times to get the piercing on the sides I wanted. The wide section I left white and embossed w/ a Chevron folder. The turquoise & red sections, I added the color w/ Copic markers. I attached them to a white 4 x 5.25 piece of white c/s. It’s wrapped w/ seam ribbon that I colored to match using the same red Copics. The greeting panel was die cut w/ a coordinating die and w/ the die in place, I added color using the same turquoise & red Copics, removed the die & stamped the greeting image w/ Versafine. I prefer Versafine for clear, dark stamping, especially when using clear stamps like these, but the ink doesn’t work well under Copics, so I colored w/ the Copics first, then stamped on top. The image layer behind it is a border design that coordinates w/ Labels 26. I added just a touch of color then cut it in half so I could pull the sides in & make it a bit narrower.

    I     added 3 little black gems to kind of balance things out. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used. Julie Warner – https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com

  • It’s Snowing!!

    Well, it may not be snowing right now, but it is soooo cold here! This is the deep south, y’all! And as of 9:20 pm EST, it was 13 degrees! The water outside from the rain last night has long since turned to ice and we’re on our way to a predicted 6 degrees tonight (-10 with the wind chill).

    So with the winter deep freeze around here, I have two cards to share…one for the CAS challenge today (Snowflakes CAS254) and the other for the Color Challenge tomorrow. The card above is for the CAS challenge and it was super simple. ..especially since I already had the white mega oval die cut in my stash. I stamped the greeting 3 times w/o reinking and added a few snowflakes on it.

    The navy panel was stamped w/ the white chalk ink and I added some additional snow dots w/ a white gel pen. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: DRS Designs  –Let it Snow, 4 in 1 Snowflake, Snowflake Scroll, Snow Background
    Ink:  Memento Paris Dusk, Colorbox popcorn white chalk ink
    Paper: white, navy
    Accessories:  Spellbinders mega oval die, white gel pen, stickles, rhinestone

    I was asked to be a guest designer for the Color Challenge on Splitcoast for the month of January! The colors for CC460, are Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo and Night of Navy. I don’t have the exact colors, but I found some inks and Copics which are very close and they seemed like good winter colors to me, so that’s the direction I went

    Best of 2014!
    I’m so happy and honored to be a Guest Designer for the Color Challenge this month and no one was more surprised than me, lol! And along with the colors , I included the dessert of splatters.

    After masking a wide band, I stamped the winter trees in black and added a circle mask for the moon and used torn paper mask snow and sky areas. I sponged on the two inks for the night sky and and a little of the teal for the snow. I added some shadows and used the white ink and splatter background to add the snow. A white gel pen was used to bring out some of the splatters a bit more.

    I added the narrow strips down the sides (colored navy with Copics) and the greeting in the lower right. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

  • Snowy Night

    Congrats to Joy, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS361)! Her gallery is a delight and after browsing for a long time, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the snowy sky and tree theme, but I used different images, slightly different colors and made mine just a winter card instead of a Christmas card.

    I stamped the snow tree w/ fence on white, added a hint of color and shadows w/ some very light cool gray and a snow green Copic markers, then cut around the top edge. When I got to the tree, I left only a very small portion of the right side of the trunk. On a larger navy blue piece, I lined up where the tree would be and stamped it again w/ the popcorn white ink. I added a bit more white (for snow) on the tree with a white gel pen. I used a small die cut circle for the moon and stamped just a few of the branches w/ black. The snow was stamped using the splatter background and the popcorn ink. I added a bit of the same splatter bg on the white part using the lt blue ink. The first two lines of the greeting were added in lower left.

    Congrats again, Joy, enjoy your week! Thanks so much for stopping by!
