Today's card was created for the current Less Is More challenge. This week was a color challenge and the color was citrus. I don't really do a lot of green cards but I thought this color might be a fun one. I started by stamping the margarita glasses from the My Favorite Things Girls Night Out stamp set onto some white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink. I colored them using Copic markers, fussy cut them, and edged them using a Memento dual tip marker in tuxedo black so they would have nice, clean edges. I took a Tim Holtz blending tool and brushed some Hero Arts neon green ink onto my card base. I cut a smaller panel and stenciled the same color ink using a Tim Holtz dotted stencil. Once that was dry I went around the edge of my panel drawing a free-hand dual scribbled line for some added interest. I popped my margarita glasses up off the card using some Stampin' UP foam dimensionals and then popped the entire focal panel up off of the card using some 3M foam tape. A few sequins in lime green from Pretty Pink Posh and this card is done. Sorry for the poor lighting...it's a pretty bleak day here in Southeast Missouri.
I was so excited when I saw this challenge from Just Us Girls because I had just gotten in a new stencil from Tim Holtz and was looking to use it on a card. I started with a piece of kraft cardstock from Hobby Lobby and ran it through my printer using a font from my Windows Word program. I stamped the adorable coffee mug from the Waltzing Mouse Coffee Set in black ink and colored the floral piece in using Copic markers and added a touch of white gel pen to the center. I then used some Tim Holtz walnut distress ink and a round ink dauber and added the coffee stains around the outer edge of my card. I added few white dashed lines using my white gel pen and adhered it to my white card base. Love how clean and simple this card was. My have to mass produce this one. I hope you like it!
Today's card was created for the CTS #138 sketch challenge over at Case This Sketch. I started off with a white card base and layered a piece of Stampin' UP black card stock over it. Then I zendoodled a loose outline around a white piece of 110 lb using my Memento tuxedo black dual tip marker. I stenciled the polka dot background using the Tim Holtz bubble stencil with some Fresh Ink pigment ink in Grapefruit. Then I splattered on some black soot Distress Spray Stain using my acrylic block and a water brush. Love the grungy look it gives. I printed the princess sentiment on my computer in a word document using the Matisse ITC font and printed it out onto some white card stock. I mounted it onto a black border and taped it onto the card. I then inked up Miss Snotty head image and the body from Karin, both from Stampotique, and colored them using Copic markers. I fussy cut the images and mounted them onto the card using some Stampin' UP foam dimensionals. I finished the card off by adding some a few gemstones from The Paper Studio, some clear Wink of Stella to her dress and bow, and then some black and crystal clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
