Hello, and happy Sunday! Today's card was created for the latest Color Throwdown card challenge. To create my card I started by stamping the elements from Stampin' UP's Kinda Eclectic onto a white card base using inks from Gina K Designs that matched the color challenge. I cut the panel down to be slightly smaller than my A2 card base and attached it using 3M foam tape for some dimension. I then stamped the butterflies from the same stamp set using more Gina K Designs inks and fussy cut them out. I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamps Friendship Messages stamp set using black ink and die cut the panel down using a fish tail banner die from Jillian Vance Designs. I adhered the banner and layered butterfly onto the card panel using mini Stampin' UP foam dimensions. To finish off the card I added some gem stickers from Honey Bee Stamps Freshly Brewed collection. I love how pretty this card turned out and think it would make a lovely note card set by adding different sentiments. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
Hello, and happy Sunday! Today's card was created for the latest Color Throwdown card challenge. To create my card I started by stenciling the background onto my A2 white card base using the My Favorite Things Wave Maker stencil and Tim Holtz distress ink in broken China. I then took some Prized Ribbon distress ink and smooshed it onto the card using a cellophane panel and some spritzed water. I stamped the sentiment from The Cat's Pajama's Seas The Birthday stamp set directly onto the card base using Versafine onyx black ink. I then stamped the octopus and party hat from the same stamp set onto some Copic-friendly cardstock, colored it with my alcohol markers, and fussy cut the image out. I popped the image up off of the card using some 3M foam tape, added some white gel pen details, and a few sequins from The Ton to finish off this cute birthday card!
Hello and Happy Independence Day! My card today was created for the latest Color Throwdown challenge. To create my card I started by laying some pretty plaid patterned paper from the Pink & Main Spring Fling 6x6 paper pad onto my A2 white card base at an angle. I then added a thin sliver of basic black cardstock from Stampin' UP at the edge to create some visual contrast. I stamped the watermelons from the Impression Obsession Watermelon Layering stamp set onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock and colored them using my alcohol markers. I fussy cut them out and edged all around them with my Memento tuxedo black dual tip marker for a nice clean look. I stamped the sentiment from the IO stamp set using Versafine onyx black ink and popped the watermelon up off of the card using foam squares from Scrapbook Adhesives. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope everyone is having fun with family and staying safe this holiday weekend!
Hello and thank you for visiting my blog! Today's card was created for the latest Color Throwdown card challenge. To create my card I started by cutting down a piece of patterned paper from the Recollections Midnight Magic Halloween 6x6 paper pad and inking around the edges with Tim Holtz black soot distress ink. Once inked I adhered it directly to my A2 card base. I then stamped Esmerelda Girl from Unity Stamp Company onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock and die cut it into a panel using a Gina Marie Designs stitched rectangle die. I colored the image using the colors from the challenge. To finish my card I stamped the sentiment from My Sentiments Exactly's Halloween Innies & Outies stamp set using Versafine onyx black ink and added some lilac sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I absolutely love this image and hope you like it too!
Today's card was created for the latest Color Throwdown challenge. I layered a piece of horizontal gray striped patterned paper from the We R Memory Keepers Simply Spring 6x6 paper pad onto my white card base. I then die cut a white stitched rectangle using a Gina Marie Designs die. I stamped the largest rose from the My Favorite Things MPD Rose Bouquet using Gina K Designs innocent pink and then created a mask. I stamped the two smaller roses in the same color and then stamped the leaves in the stamp set using Memento london fog ink. Once the base layers were on the card I stamped the details of the roses using Gina K Designs passionate pink. For added contrast I stamped the greeting using Concord & 9th's sophisticated script stamp set and Versafine ink in smokey gray. I popped the focal panel up using some 3M foam tape, added a few 4mm and 6mm sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, and went over the flowers and leaves using my clear Wink of Stella glitter pen for some added sparkle and shine. I hope you like it!
My second card today was created for the latest Color Throwdown Challenge. I started by stamping the Winking Gal from Riley & Company onto some Copic friendly white cardstock and colored her in with my Copic markers. I die cut the image out using a pierced edge oval die from MFT. I stamped the sentiment from the MFT Girly Graphic stamp set and cut a fishtail banner out of it. Using some pretty patterned papers from the American Crafts Heartland Farm 6x6 paper pad I die cut a rectangle using a Gina Marie Designs stitched edge die and cut the fishtail banner using a Jillian Vance die and mounted them onto my white card base. For a finishing detail I added a small rhinestone from Recollections onto the earring. Love how sweet and simple this card was.
For my second card today I chose the fun and snappy little scooter stamp from the Paper Smooches stamp set Spiffy Scooter. Using the fabulous color combination from the Color Throwdown #349 I used a similar card layout that I found on Pinterest and put my own twist on it. I stamped the scooter in Memento tuxedo black ink onto white, mango, and kraft cardstock and paper pieced them together. I used some Gina K premium dye ink in sweet mango to stamp the background on the circle panel. I used an R29 Copic marker and Uni-ball Signo white gel pen to add some detail to the headlights and taillights, a touch of clear Wink of Stella glitter pen to add some shimmer to the scooter, and stamped the sentiment in Versafine onyx black ink to give it a crisp image. I added some black dashed lines around the outer border of the card with my Memento tuxedo black dual tip marker and really love the way it defines the whole card. I love this card and may have to duplicate it using other color combos to make a set!
