    Another fabulous inspiration site for today’s Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast.! After a lot of browsing, I picked this Party Tray.

    All images, embossing powders and adhesives are Sparkle N Sprinkle. For my card, I stamped and white embossed the rose image multiple times on water color paper, masking where needed. I wet the entire background and floated in reinker colors.

    I used darker colors on the two extra roses I embossed on a separate piece of w/c paper, and cut these two out. I partially cut some of the petals and layered this on top of the other image w/ foam tape for a little lift.

    The greeting was stamped w/ the pine ink and the lower edge punched. I added a trimmed off strip as the horizontal band and a faux brad.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Many Guitars

    Happy Saturday! I hope y’all are having a super weekend!

    These “note” cards are for two challenges. The one on the left is for today’s IC232 challenge and the one on the right is for yesterday’s F4A12 challenge. For the IC challenge, I was inspired by the Notables sets.  I wish they had a bigger picture of it, but I liked the music and guitars in the pattern. For the F4A challenge, I made a similar card but only colored in the spotlight area. I hadn’t really done this technique before and it was fun.

    All images are Sparkle N Sprinkle. On both cards, the guitar was stamped and masked multiple times. With the masks still in place, I stamped the swirling music around the necks of the guitars. I stamped one extra guitar for each card. Everything was colored using Prismacolor pencils. I cut out the spotlight area using a Spellbinders Mega Oval, cut a slightly larger black mat and attached it back over the cut out area. Opposite corners were rounded and then edged w/ a black marker.

    The black background was stamped w/ a music scrap image in black chalk ink and the spiral edge punch was used down the left sides. It’s hard to see the black on black here, but it’s visible IRL. On the left one, I scribbled more Prismacolors across a strip of white and stamped the notes, then cut around them. On the right one, I used the pencils to create a narrow border behind the black layer. The greetings were stamped and the music notes added. Both cards are 4.25 x 5.5 (A2).

    Congrats to Gloria (GloriousGreetings) , the Featured Stamper today at Splitcoast.  I picked a couple that I want to case and this is the first one. I chose her Heartfelt Sympathy for this one. I kept the brayered background, silhouette images and big main panel, but I changed the colors, the images and added another layer.

    All images, embossing powder, adhesives and glitters are from Sparkle N Sprinkle. After doing a brayered bg on a 1/4 sheet of white glossy c/s, I used the static pad and stamped this great Art Deco image in the center of the panel  w/ black pigment ink and embossed it w/ black ep. Sometimes I’m asked why I don’t use clear ep w/ the black ink or black ep w/ a clear ink. Almost exclusively, I use an ink very close to the color of the ep I want to use because it gives me a much deeper color. It also hides any flaws like when a tiny portion doesn’t get the ep. I stamped the lady portion of the image again on a scrap of  matte white c/s using black permanent ink. On this image, I used markers to color her, cut her out and applied glue and black glitter to her dress. Then I attached her to the base image w/ a little card board under her to give her just a little lift.

    I used a craft knife to cut the base image along the straight sides because I used the rest of the bg for my big layer. Some highlights were added w/ a white gel pen and  lavender and black layers were added underneath before attaching it over the main bg. Another black layer was added then everything was attached to a 4.25 x 5.5 (A2) white card. I used a Cuttlebug ornamental border die to cut the black scroll element, brushed glue over it and coated it w/ black glitter before attaching it below the image. I made 3 faux brads and coated them w/ glitter as well.  If you’d like to see just how I make these nice rounded brads, I just finished a new Faux Brad Tutorial. I’d love for you to check it out!
