The Witch is In!

Posted on September 21, 2018 10:07 PM by Julie 1 Comment

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge, Brenda chose a fun site, Just for Fun Flags. And after browsing a while, I chose THIS as my inspiration.

For my Halloween card, I stamped & colored the Witch Legs on an arched die cut. The stars were stamped on the purple w/ Distress oxide shaded lavender. I die cut the stars border out of a lighter purple & also white & used some of the white ones to fill in the purple outlines. I added stickles in some areas for a little sparkle.

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

This is for another Dare to Get Dirty Challenge. For all the details of the DTGD challenges, go HERE…but you’ll need to be a Fan Club member.

I finally finished a background I could live with for Lydia’s DTGD challenge. There are still several fails hanging around. And since the Free for All Challenge on Friday was birds, I colored this digi image & added it along w/ a greeting stamped on a chat bubble die cut.
Here’s the inside & the Copics I used for the bird.

Supplies:

Stamps: From the Heart Stamps – Innertube Birdbrain (digital), Serendipity Stamps –Uplifting Words (inside: Serendipity Stamps: Sending Smiles )

Paper: Staples 110# white, water color

Accessories: Lil’ Inker stitched rectangles dies, MFT stitched arch dies, watercolors, fine tip sharpie, Penny Black chat bubbles dies, clear sequins

This was for another DTGD Challenge, the Color Challenge & also the Fan Club Christmas Challenge.

I used Copic markers & a gold Krylon on glossy paper to make my bg layer & the poinsettia petals. The greeting was stamped onto the brushed gold w/ the warm violet ink & heat embossed w/ a transparent sparkly powder. Then all I did was put it all together.
Here’s the inside.

Fishy Lunch

Posted on August 8, 2018 8:00 AM by Julie Comment

Today is Day 5 of Splitcoaststampers Dare to Get Dirty Challenges! And I made this for my challenge & for all the details of the challenge, go HERE…but you’ll need to be a Fan Club member. That’s easy!
To make my fishy card, I made a background w/ colored pencils & gamsol. The exact technique is part of the challenge which you’ll have to go to the link above to find out. This bg was die cut w/ the stitched rectangle die & I used a larger size to cut the white bg before using a stitched waves die on it. The cute little fish were colored w/ Copics & their matching dies were used to cut them out. I also used their dies to cut some thin fun foam to pop them up a little. The greeting was added to a chat bubble die cut & I added a little stickles to the sea floor & to the bubbles.

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

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’ll drop in & join us for Dare to Get Dirty week!
