White Christmas

Posted on November 2, 2015 11:17 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Fun & easy challenge today for the Splitcoast Technique Challenge (TLC558)..either white emboss a silhouette image or use a white die cut. I went w/ the die cut option since I’ve had this beautiful die for a while but haven’t used it.

Since the die pretty much makes the card, all I did was add a mega oval behind it. I did die cut it twice, once out of the red & once out of a very dark green, split them then joined the two halves together.Sorry the dark green is very hard to get a good pic of..it almost looks black, but it’s a very pretty forest green.

I added a dp layer & another red layer and done! Here’s a look at the inside using some leftovers.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Have Yourself (inside)

Paper: heavy white (Recollections), red pepper linen, dk forest green, dp (Pebbles- Welcome Christmas)

Ink: Memento love letter (inside)

Accessories: Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B, mega oval dies, Cheery Lynn Merry Christmas die

Give Thanks

A big congrats to Kim, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case. I used the same scripture & a similar woodgrain bg, but I changed the layout & colors. This is also for Lydia’s Finish Line HYCCT1531C Challenge. I used a couple of dk gray Copics to draw the horizontal & vertical crossing lines in the lower left corner.

For my card, I stamped the woodgrain bg across the back panel w/ weathered wood then sponged on more of the same ink. It was sprayed w/ a mix I made of watered down white wash acrylic paint. The water can image was stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics, then overstamped with black soot distress ink & the scripture added. I used only 1 line of a 3 grid border die for the little squares then backed it w/ the textured paper I tore off the upper corner. It was sponged & I also used the soot ink pad to drag the black ink across it.

These are the Copics I used.

Congrats again, Kim! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Halloween Bat

Today’s Sketch Challenge (SC561) on Splitcoast is a really easy one. I turned the sketch on its side & used the tree limb/bat for the downward (or sideways, in my case) element.

Since it’s an easy, wide open sketch, this is an easy, wide open card & except for the black layer, everything is on one layer. The background was made using the acrylic block technique, a mister & some Distress Inks. I did the purples & oranges separately so they wouldn’t blend too much & make mud. The paper is really lightweight water color paper (from the kids’ department..I like it because it’s smooth) & to speed it along, I dried w/ a heat gun then ran it thru my Big Shot to flatten it. The silhouette images were all stamped w/ Versafine & I used a white gel pen to add highlights. The moon image was stamped on white, fussy cut & added on top & I used a white chalk marker to go around the edges of the panel before attaching it to a black mat.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
