Super challenges today! Use half of an image or die cut (TLC381) and white on white layers (CAS174). I elected to cut my bicycle die cut in half and put it on opposite sides of the complete bike. I also used just the top half of the grassy flower border. For the CAS I used a white layer (w/ sponging) on top of my white card. Despite how it may look, it really is CAS…especially for me.

The images are from Our Daily Bread designs. I white embossed just the top half of the grassy border and quickly sponged on a little color w/ the Kpad. I added a little more of the grassy border w/ part of the Kpad. The punched fence border was added and then the die cut bicycles. The sentiment and clouds were added at the top to finish my 5.50 x 4.25 card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD – Bicycle, Bird & Butterfly corners/borders

Paper: Neenah white

Ink: Ancient Page coal, Kaliedacolor Caribbean Sea, Colobox frost white pigment

Accessories: Quickutz bicycle die, cloud punches (All Night Media), white embossing powder, fence punch (Martha Stewart)

For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT378), we are to use banners. I love banners! I use them a lot for sentiments but this time I just used a banner for the header. It’s a multi-part die w/ several layers for the banner and a bunch of little tassels to go w/ it.

The images are from DRS Designs. The huge sentiment was stamped w/ the cobalt ink on top of the grad cap I stamped w/ the sky ink, and layered a couple of times. The background is a Congrats label/envelope label but I stamped it so the blank middle was behind the main layer and doesn’t show. I inked it w/ the summer sky then used a cobalt marker to highlight a few words here and there. Added the banner layers and tassels and my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished!

Best of 2012 -SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS!
Fun challenge today on Splitcoast (TLC380)! I opted for the open around the image part. I’ve done this technique several times and next to out of the box, it’s probably my fave. I just call it “into the window” since that sort of describes it for me.

The images are DRS Designs. The cattails were stamped on the overlay and I used a ruler and craft knife to cut the window leaving them attached on the left. The crane scene was stamped and colored on the 5.50 x 4.25 card front then the window overlay was slightly elevated.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Cranes, cattails

Paper: Neenah white

Ink: Ancient Page coal

Accessories: Tombow markers, black Permapaque marker, craft knife
