Give Thanks

Posted on October 31, 2015 11:32 PM by Julie 1 Comment

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!

Autumn Colors

Three wonderful challenges today on Splitcoast & I was able to combine them! The F4A297 (fall colors), the MIX144 (fall colors), and HYCCT1530TEAM (turning you loose). The first 2 are pretty easy to see..for the MIX I have a combo of Distress ink/watercolor in my background, Copics & Versafine ink on the image. Hope that’s enough! For the HYCCT, I used the Wrinkle Free Distress tutorial. I don’t think I’ve ever done it before & I added another wrinkle because the bg is second generation. I had a combo of Distress inks & a little water color on my craft sheet & when I lifted the w/c paper up, it had way too much on it so I pressed another piece of w/c paper to the w/c sheet I just lifted to soak up the excess.

After I dried the bg, I used a Sizzix die on opposite corners & attached it to a dk green bg. The image was stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine. I used a pierced square die & also did a little out of the box on the top of the image. The leaf pile was fussy cut & added on top.

Here’s a look at the inside using leftovers & below it are the Copics I used.

Only Have Eyes

Today’s Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS347) is a Halloween picture for inspiration…hence the big ol’ neon green eyeballs on my card. Isn’t it great to have a card that looks back at you, lol? It seemed the perfect time to bring out my neglected fluorescent markers & neon ink. If you can’t use ’em on Halloween, then when? I really had fun using them to color all the bottles of potions & poisons. Yep…that’s a tasty looking bunch!

After I colored them, I masked a few of them & added the bubbles. After die cutting the jar out of the front, I die cut a top out of metallic silver & added just a little coloring to the jar part of the cut out. I put a piece of acetate w/ some foam tape around it, behind the cut out & carefully placed some googlie eyes before sticking it down.

I came across a piece from the center of some die cut & it just looked like it could be the background for the eyes. So I stamped the eyeball twice w/ neon green ink, added a bit of neon shading & stamped the greeting on top. The spider webs were stamped once w/ the neon ink and again w/ the black then a couple of punched spiders added to finish. Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
