  • Happy Birthday to Rick!

    Posted on by Julie 87 Comments

    Welcome to a Special ODBD Birthday Blog Hop! Today we are saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to RICK!

    If you’ve been to one of the Stamp Shows or conventions, then you’ve probably seen Rick in the ODBD booth. Rick is Kelley’s husband and number one fan and today is his birthday!

    For my birthday card, I used the new Special Boy set. I figured this set was about as masculine as they get and works well for big boys as well as little boys. I made the background for the largest layer and truck image by swiping various colors of Copic markers across a piece of vanilla card stock. Then the truck image and tire tracks were stamped on top of these using the dk brown chalk ink. I fussy cut the truck and attached it to a deckled rectangle of vanilla to give it a bit of separation. The metallic bronze layer was embossed w/ a Sizzix folder and the sentiment was die cut and attached to a leftover strip of the background with small bronze brads. Since I wanted to have crossed checkered flags, I stamped one as usual and stamped one again on the plastic sheet of my SAMJ (stamp-a-ma-jig) then quickly pressed a piece of vanilla c/s on top to get the reverse image.

    Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Birthday, Rick!

    What a fun Technique Lover’s Challenge today (TLC411)! Everyone picks a TLC challenge from 2012! So I went with one I really wanted to try but didn’t have a chance to the first time around...TLC361, Inspired by Belleek! I only used a section of the panel I did using the sky blue ink and the Juli’s Garden embossing folder. I used the same folder on the larger background, just the reverse side. The card stock I used is actually called Tag Board and I used it because it has a warm cream color instead of stark white.

    The sentiment and both label designs were white embossed on lt blue c/s and die cut w/ the matching dies. I used several flower punches for my big bloom. The edges were colored w/ a blue Copic marker, curled and layered together. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50. I really love the look of this technique and I made a few more backgrounds for future use.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Happy Friday!

    For today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A150), we are to make a frosty friendship card. And for the Queen for the Day Challenge (QFTD146), everyone is the queen and we are to pick a card of our own and case it.  I think my little winter forest scene fits the bill on both counts. I cased my card Summer Cranes and kept the same framed layout but made it a winter scene and changed the hot summer colors into cool winter shades.

    The image is a sneak peek from DRS Designs. Since the scene is so complete all on its own, I decided to keep it simple and just let the image do the talking. I used two different rainbow ink pads to ink it up…first I used the varied greens, then tapped the bottom half against the varied blues. The moon/sun part was wiped off and I ink it w/ the black ink. I added a bit of shadowing and some color to the moon/sun using Copics.

    The oval frames were die cut and I used the white pigment ink to stamp the sentiment and little stars across the top. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Supplies:

    Stamps: DRS Designs – Forest Scene, Just Because, Starry Background
    Paper: white, marine blue, kelly green
    Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Kaleidacolor fresh green & blue breeze, Colorbox frost white pigment
    Accessories: pellbinders petite oval dies, Copic markers
