ODBD Anything Goes Challenge!

Posted on March 3, 2016 5:58 AM by Julie 6 Comments

Welcome to Our Daily Bread designs Shining the Light Challenge, ODBDSLC271!
And the challenge is Anything Goes!
This challenge will go until the 13th of March at 8 pm EST. We will offer a random prize of a $15 gift certificate toward stamps in the store. One individual will also be spotlighted for the Shining the Light challenge. On March 15 we will have an Anniversary challenge.

For my Anything Goes card, I’m using the just released Superstar set along w/ the new Double Stitched Stars dies. These dies go perfectly with the Sparkling Stars dies, so if you’ve already snagged them, you’re in luck. If not, go ahead and grab those when you get the others..trust me, you’re going to be using these a lot…birthdays, graduation, Christmas..the list is unending!

The multi color bg was done on a large manila tag using the Wrinkle Free Distress technique. I used the Distress inks one at a time and let the colors dry in between so they wouldn’t get muddy. When I finished, I used one of the smaller Double Stitched Rectangles to cut it then I die cut the star shapes & added the white outline stars inside the openings. Behind the star openings, I added a lime green star w/ the star outline gold embossed & the gold embossed greeting on vellum behind the largest star.

A few more die cut & gold embossed stars were sprinkled around on the rest of the die cut stitched rectangle layers.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Supplies:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs – Superstar (retired), (Rock Star – inside (retired))

Paper: white, citron, teal, manila tag, vellum

Ink: Encore ultimate metallic gold pigment, Distress inks in worn lipstick, evergreen bough, twisted citron, mermaid lagoon, ripe persimmon

Serendipity SSCB#53 – Dots/Circles!

Posted on March 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 2 Comments

Welcome to the March Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Circles/Dots! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. We also have a new “Stamp of the Month”. Each month a different image is 50% off & this month- it’s the To the World!. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player. This is also for the Featured Stamper (FS474) on Splitcoast. I chose THIS card of Geni’s.

For my card, I’m featuring this pretty little Goldfinch with the Hope quote. The goldfinches at our bird feeder still have their winter coats on, but I except to see the males starting to look like this one again soon. I put him in my Misti, stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine. I used a grand label 4 to die cut mainly just the left side & the black mat behind him. For the right side, I repeated the stamp, color, over stamp (w/ a little masking thrown in) using the Small Dogwood then fussy cut down the left side of them to attach on top. The pink paper has the small dots for the challenge & I thought it went well w/ the image. After I stamped the quote (minus the Hope at the beginning), I stamped part of the goldfinch image on a separate piece, lined up where I wanted to place the Hope die , cut it, backed it w/ 2 more cut outs to elevate it, then placed it on top in the corresponding place of the image. The quote was stamped again on another piece & I used the smaller of the flowers from the hydrangea punch to punch out the areas I wanted & also attached them in place. I added just a little stickles to the flower centers.

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

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Hope, Goldfinch, Small Dogwood Branch

Paper: X-Press It white, black, dp (Simple Stories -Snap Color Vibe)

Frog Weather

Posted on February 25, 2016 8:07 PM by Julie Comment

The Ways to Use It Challenge (WT572) today is to use humor on a card. To me this girly girl frog w/ all her makeup, umbrella & purse surely stand on the side of humorous. And I think my title says it all…the weather we’ve had here the last few days, only a frog could love. Torrential downpours, thunderstorms & howling winds. At least it stopped raining before we washed away..now we’re just gone with the wind, lol.

For my frog under the weather card, I did a little variation on the reflection technique. I’ve done this technique quite a few times, but this was the first time I used the Misti to help out & the first time I used an odd shaped area for the reflection. Lydia, the community manager at Splitcoast had a card & a link to her video for doing this & it started me thinking. So I gave it a try & I like it. I followed her directions except I had to use the back of a large stamp for the piece of rubber she used. Having the image in the Misti & stamping it more than once onto the rubber really helped the process. Since the reflection is supposed to be lighter than the original, I used gray flannel ink for the reflection & black for the original & I used the lighter colors of Copics to color the reflection.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. First of all, I used a pair of little scissors to cut the odd shaped puddle in the middle of a piece of copy paper…placed it over the white card stock, & sponged the tumbled glass ink inside the opening…not too evenly. Then I placed the piece I cut out on top of the blue puddle & sponged some of the weathered wood & tumbled glass around for the ground. I made sure to have a straight edge for the horizon. Then I put the original mask w/ cut out puddle back on & did the reflection part. Removed the mask, positioned the original Frog Sunbather image & stamped it above the reflection. Colored it all then stamped some raindrops after masking the original image and the ground around the puddle. I only used part of the greeting (I put the full greeting on the inside) & I used a Micron pen to add the question mark at the end.

Here are the Copics I used.
