Hello Big Moon

Posted on February 6, 2015 7:20 PM by Julie 9 Comments

For the Free For All Challenge today (F4A259) we are to have a moon somewhere. So that gave me the idea to use a circle die cut to mask out a moon and brayer the background. After placing the moon mask, I brayered the background. The color is a bit of an accident…I had two rainbow pads out, one w/ all blues & another w/ all greens and I had been testing the color. I rolled the brayer across the blue one but forgot I hadn’t cleaned off the green inks from the brayer so I got a mostly turquoise color gradient. I like the color, so it’s all good!

After removing the mask, I stamped the wildflower silhouette bg w/ the black ink, then stamped the smaller version w/ white pigment ink and white embossed it. For a little more interest, I die the panel into two sizes and added a white layer in between. The greeting was die cut out of black & white and stacked a little off for depth.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thinking Silhouette

Posted on January 27, 2014 11:37 PM by Julie 1 Comment

What a wonderful color combo we have this week for the Splitcoast Color Challenge (CC463)! Peggy chose Tangerine, Saffron & Coastal Cabana! And I went with dessert using a wooden shape. I know I have a baggie of those cute little wooden things, but all I could find was a bag of wooden buttons that had this little heart in it so that’s what I used 🙂

I sponged on the distress inks then stamped the two silhouette images. I lined up where the images would be on the front of my white card, and stamped them again so it looks like they go from the card to the sponged panel. I don’t know why, but I trimmed off a couple of strips from the right side but only added the narrowest back on, a little apart from the main panel.

The die cut oval sentiment was added along w/ the wooden heart. A few highlights were added with a white gel pen.

NCC June Release!

Welcome to the North Coast Creations June release!

For this first card, I white embossed the image on a dotted green designer paper, then sponged a little extra green ink around the white embossing to make it stand out a bit more. The sentiment was also white embossed and sponged w/ the die still in place. It’s attached to a layer I first die cut w/ a Spellbinders labels 1, then I die cut it w/ a smaller decorative labels 1 and put it back in the labels 1 frame. I added an embossed white strip and a strip of a coordinating dp on top and bottom. This came about because I accidentally cut the the dotted green dp a little too short so I had to lengthen the panel in order for it to look balanced. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Find Beauty

Paper: Neenah white, dp (Kaisercraft -Chapter One)

Ink: Colorbox frost white pigment, Kaliedacolor Caribbean sea

Accessories: Spellbinders Labels 1 & Decorative Labels 1 dies, white embossing powder, Quickutz embossing folder (Nautical set)

On my second card, I stamped the silhouette image using an orange to red rainbow pad. On the left side of the panel I embossed it w/ a honeycomb border folder then attached it to a larger panel I had stamped the ODBD honeycomb background using the same rainbow ink. The sentiment was stamped w/ the red chalk ink and die cut using an ODBD Elegant Ovals die. Everything was attached to a 5.50 x 4.25 card and I added a stamped and fussy cut cloud and some crystals on the bottom of the sentiment.

Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Something Marvelous, ODBD Honeycomb Bg

Paper: Neenah white
