Yeah....just a few Cards

 

Addicted to Stamps-Any Occasion 

Alphabet Challenge- Nocturnal Animals

This is my Halloween card that I made by accident. To be honest, I can’t remember how I did the background. I know I brayered something and used this paper to get rid of the pink and the black but unsure how or why I had 3 “windows”  left. I came up with the idea of using those windows to showcase some Halloween images which I stamped in black ink. I glued it onto black cardstock and finished it off with some Victorian-looking beading.

52 Christmas Cards- Mini Scene with Shaped Dies

We bought a mini cake and the mini-cake was on this golden piece of cardboard. It looked pretty so I kept it and used it as the backing for my mini scene of the cardinal. I used my cuddlebug and embossed this image. I coloured it with these watercolour pastels. I glued it all in place and  applied it to this other background I happened to make by chance using paints and stencils. I cut it down and applied it to the cardstock to create my card.

Colourful Options- Fall Colours

We Love Stamping- Shades of Autumn

I tried something new and…it didn’t work but I still liked it. I used alcohol inks and a straw. I watched YouTube videos on how to create a flower by blowing the alcohol inks in a way that create a flower, like a lily. It didn’t work and I ended up with this but I still saw flowers in this and gently highlighted it with water marker and smudging it with my finger. I pasted on gold and black cardstock. I stamped the saying and attached it. I hope it works

Sparkles Monthly- Use Dies/Die-Cutting

I loved that design stamp where I can put anything inside that frame. After stamping it and embossing it in green tinsel powder. I finally used my candle stamp that I bought 2 years ago. I coloured it with my tombow markers using it in a watercolour effect. I glued it onto the mirror card and used ribbon to set the card off nicely.

Try It Tuesday-Make It Magical

I bought my fairy stamps a good 3 years ago and haven’t used them much. I decided to change that and create a Christmas theme with the fairy, bathed in glittery white (I stamped and heat embossed her in my snowflake white powder). Oh yes, I created the background using my powders… I forgot the name but you just take the small bottle and sprinkle a little powder onto watercolour cardstock. You spray water onto the card and watch the colours come alive! I used green, blue and even a bit of purple. It was shimmery so you can see it in the light which I can’t get here. I stamped trees and other grasses and holly. I took my stickles in red and added it to the trees and the holly berries. I took my Tim Holtz distress ink and sponged on some darker blues around the edges to create a vignette. I stamped my poinsettia 4 times, coloured them in and fussy-cut them out. I added it to the card to create a nice Christmas vision.
