Your Friendship

This scenic card was pretty easy to make and has a rainbow of colors to offset the black backgrouns and white trees. It just takes a few dies, the brush stroke clear stamps, multple inks and some clear embossing powder. The fun part was mixing the colors to get entirely new shades.
For the Inspiration Challenge, IC1001, we are visiting Nicebai & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS tee shirt. I loved the strokes of colors against the white trees & black background.

I started by picking two of the narrowest brush strokes & placing them in my Misti. Then I used the colors on the shirt as a guide to the colors I picked. I started w/ the center red stroke & made it by inking first w/ nectar a couple of times, then used the bubblegum a couple of times on top. The darker red was done the same way with the addition of lilac & odyssey once each. The orange/red is nectar with apricot. The light blue is sky with just a touch of odyssey. The teal is straight up whisper. The light green is moss by itself. The yellow is custard. The rust color is nectar plus apricot plus pumpkin. The dark blue/violet is odyssey plus lilac, each stamped several times. Then to keep the colors vibrant, I rubbed it all over w/ a Versamark & heat embossed w/ clear powder. In the pictures, it really isn’t pebbled or cracked, it’s just the light reflecting on the glass like coating.

I ended up using only the feathered end of the brush strokes & used the edger die to cut a narrow band. For the white lower edge, I cut another forest, snipped off the trees & turned it upside down then put the band on top of it.

Beware

Ready to start Halloween crafting? I have just the card to get you in the mood. Today I’m combining a fab new Jack O Lantern set w/ an equally fab Stacked Spooky Forest set of dies for a spooky cute card. This set comes with some terrific images so there’s plenty to choose from & the stacked forest can be any color you desire.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC980) we are visiting House of Jade & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS picture.

After coloring & die cutting, the garland, tree & bat face pumpkin, I started looking around to see what I could put with them. Since I had this new stacked spooky forest set, I die cut them in 3 colors of purple & put them together. Normally, this die set goes horizontally, so I just used a section of it & attached it to a very pale lilac background. I had a large white rectangle front so I die cut a square out of the middle, stamped my greeting & put my purple forest section behind the window. The tree, garland & pumpkin were all popped up just a bit before attaching on top. A pair of purple bats were added in the forest.

Here are the Copics I used:

A monochromatic Christmas card using all kraft with a white embossed greeting and falling snow and white highlights for the snow on the tiny village.
x5! x2!

A big congrats to the newest Featured Stamper, DragonLady64! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the colors & layout, but used different dies, made mine a little village & added a white embossed greeting.

For my card, I die cut all the trees & village out of kraft then added white behind the houses & church. I used a white gel pen to add the snow on the trees & sponged white ink on the house & hills. The background was white embossed w/ little dots for the falling snow & I elevated the hills & houses a bit for dimension. It looked like such a peaceful scene, I thought the greeting was perfect.

The white frame is part of the polaroid die. I put it in the die cutter, cut half way, the turned the die around, matching the opening, and die cut the rest of the way.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
