Happy Fall Scarecrow

Posted on November 4, 2015 11:59 AM by Julie Comment

The Sketch Challenge (SC565) on Splitcoast is an easy one. I did tweak it a bit by flipping it upside down & using the long rock fence in place of a separate horizontal band. So while the sketch is easy, my card was a bit more difficult due to all the masking I had to do. This is also for Kathleen’s HYCCT1512, Make it Tasty. Plenty of tasty pumpkins on my card!

This fall scene is all on one layer but the rock fence, the scarecrow, the pumpkins & the crow on the branch are all separate images. The scarecrow & pumpkins were stamped first, masked, then the wall was stamped. I had to do the wall twice because the wall image has a gate but I wanted to leave that part out. Then the crow was stamped. I used a reverse circle mask & sponged in the sun & colored everything else with Copics. Two little fussy cut leaves were added along w/ the greeting.

Here’s the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

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!

Serendipity SSCB#48 pt 2- What’s New?

Posted on October 21, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 5 Comments

Welcome to the October Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is What’s New (use your newest products)! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. We have something new…a “Stamp of the Month”. Each month a different image will be 50% off. This month- it’s the Wheel in Snow. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps & sale stamps!And as always, we have a have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

One of my somethings new is the image that happens to be 50% off this month! This is such a wonderful little winter/Christmas image…you don’t really even need to color it. Since I stamped it on textured paper, I used my Misti & Versafine & I stamped it twice to make sure it got into the crevices of the paper. With Versafine, I couldn’t use my Copics, so I used a couple of very pale blue/green Tombow (water based) markers. The greeting was stamped w/ barn door Distress ink before I added some dp layers & snowflake border die cut. I added stickles here & there on the snow & I used a red marker & red stickles to add some berries to the twigs.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Wheel in Snow, Season’s Greetings

Paper: white textured, dp (red & aqua -Pebbles- Home for Christmas) dp (white wood -Glitz)

Ink: Versafine onyx, Distress ink barn door

Accessories: Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, Misti, Tombow markers to shade snow, snowflake border die (Darice). stickles, crystals

This lovely Maple Leaf is also new to me. I tried stamping it in a number of inks & colors, but still didn’t get the look I wanted until I white embossed it and sponged the colors onto the background. I die cut a white frame out of textured white, elevated it a bit & attached it to a layer of dp. A second maple leaf was fussy cut and added along w/ the greeting stamped underneath.
