Stamping Sensations-Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Tic, Tac Toe Challenge-I used Sparkle, Pink, Emboss

This was fun to do. I looked for a gnome images and hand drew them and coloured them in. I have no Gnome stamp like this so I looked for something off the internet and just eyed them and drew them freehand and coloured them in using tombow markers. I loved the bright colours which I saw on the Moodboard over at Simon Says and it is a rainbow look to it where you might find a gnome or 2. I enjoyed creating this card which needed sparkle. I took my cuddlebug to emboss the blue piece in a nice design as well as I used the sizzex to cut out the oval piece and used my cuddlebug, again, to emboss the edge. I pieced it all together and added the gems and the saying (that I cut out using my sizzex machine and added gold stickles) for some added pinache.

Happy Little Stampers:Watercolour Challenge-Use Stars

Christmas Craft Creations-Use A Stamp

First I cut out a square and stamped the saying, with the bird, onto the paper. This stamp is at least 7 years old. I took green glitter embossing powder for the bird, dark green powder for the saying and Gold for the twigs and filagree and heated it up. The remains of all 3 embossing powders were used for the snowflake stamps that I heat embossed as well. I had gold remnant paper strips that I ran through the cuddlebug with an embossing pad and found these stars plus a filagree to add to the bottom. The fun part was taking my green sprinkle powders, dabbing it on some white cardstock and spritzing it with water to get the background effect-it's pretty cool.I added the star sticker boarder, used pop up dots for the snowflakes and here is another Christmas card.

Winter Wonderland- Angel

The Fairy and the Unicorn-Anything Goes

Dream Valley-Things With Wings

Cute Card Thursday-Use Ribbon

CHNC-Anything Goes or Snowman, Woman or Family

This turned out quite well I think. I took a white cardstock and used distress inks in red that I spritzed with water, for the background to get different shadings. Once dry, I embossed the piece in my cuddlebug with an embossing pad and, using the Versamark ink pad, I swished it over the piece trying to make sure to just ink the raised parts(I missed a bit but oh well). I added gold embossing powder and placed it all over the paper, After the excess was gone, I heat embossed it to get the desired effect. I stamped the angel in brown ink and coloured her in with these pencil crayons that I watered down. I used the sizzex machine to cut the angel out in an oval design, embossed the edge through my cuddlebug and coloured that part using green. I glued this over my green cardstock and added ribbon as a border.

Twofer Card Challenge-Rain/Umbrella

This challenge is where you must take one stamp but make 2 different cards for 2 different events. I bought this stamp for $2 and thought it was cute. When they made this stamp they were probably thinking about a new baby or a shower event, but I went somewhere different. Especially since we are indoors a lot and some are feeling a bit anxious, I thought what better way to feel better than to have a couple of glasses(or more) of martinis:) I stamped the elephant in different parts of the card and coloured her in pink because, let's face it, that's what you would see.  I used glitter pens for the umbrellas and the hearts and took the glossy accents to make the elephant look glass like. I took a couple of pieces of  scrap paper for the side part, glued it in place and stamped the saying plus the martini glass in basic black and heat embossed it using clear embossing powder. The other is a Happy Birthday card for a girl that I actually missed her birthday which is why I took a scrap piece that I had coloured with those sprinkle powders(in yellow) and cut the saying, "So Sweet" using my sizzex machine. I took my sizzex machine and 3 different card pieces to cut out the rectangle pieces in different sizes to layer plus they went through my cuddlebug to emboss the edges. I have a heart stencil that I placed onto white paper scrap and put the pearl yellow stickle over it and smoothed it out with my palette knife. Once it was dry, I cut it out and placed it in between the saying using pop up dots. I finished it off with corner stickers and gems.

I hope your Easter was a good one and stay Safe!
