    I’m using some pretty spring images and colors for my card today. The colors in this dp are my favorite colors so I matched the colors in my images to them. The vase and flowers were cut out and added on top of some white c/s that I stamped the dots in two different colors. First I inked and stamped w/ the lime ink, then inked w/ the neptune and used a SAMJ to align the second stamping in an alternate row. A lg corner rounder was used on the two right corners. The scallop scissors didn’t match up exactly w/ the scallop border, but I think it looks fine as is. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
    Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’ll join us in our Monday Challenge and please visit all the Outlines Design Team for details on their creations.

    For my card, I’m using the new Birthday Blessings set. Isn’t this a wonderful tea cup full of flowers? I colored it w/ markers and added a little iridescent watercolor medium on top for a little sparkle. I used the out of the box Nestie technique to cut it out.  The purple background was run through the Grand Calibur with an embossing folder. The ivory/yellow panel was stamped with pigment ink using one of my favorite past releases, Crocheted Background. A little strip of the Crochet Border from Serve the Lord was added under the olive green panel. A matching Crochet circle was stamped and die cut using the matching dies. I used the first part of the sentiment for my little tags and the complete sentiment from the set is on the inside. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    From here, hop to the fantastic Betty Wright’s blog!

  • Skating Away

    Posted on by Julie 1 Comment

    Best of 2011 Happy Friday before Christmas! 
    Are you ready? I always plan to be ready ahead of time. Best laid plans, right! Like this happy little fellow, my best plans are skating away, but at least the happy thought is there!
    For my skating scene, everything except the cut out and added penguin was done on the one layer. I started by stamping the tree line then masking the snow and sponging the sky. There’s just something about a pink winter sky that I really like so I tend to use this color for winter skies. I flipped the mask to cover the sky and sponged in some snow w/ a lt blue ink. All except the pond. I penciled in where I wanted it and left it white. A little shading was added around the trees w/ markers.


    After I determined where my skater would go, I stamped him again on the plastic sheet of my SAMJ (stamp-a-ma-jig), lined up the foot under where his right foot is, masked the edge of the pond, and stamped the reflection using the image on the SAMJ sheet as the stamp. It’s really harder to describe than it is to do. It’s just a simple reflection technique. After that, I covered the pond using a VersaMark pen and embossed w/ clear powder twice. Then I added a few scribbles w/ a white Permapaque marker and embossed w/ another coat of clear ep. We used to call this super embossing. It really makes it look like an icy pond.
    Thanks so much for stopping by!
