Featured Stamper Birthday Wishes

Supplies: Stamps: Gina K Dazzling Dahlia and Wild Blossom  Ink: Versamark  Paper: Gina K: green, yellow, and white, and Tim Holtz watercolor paper  Accessories detail white embossing powder, Clean Color brush markers, gingham ribbon, linen thread, SU border punch, Gina K Decorative tag set, dimensionals, swiss dot embossing folder

Sunday brings us the featured stamper challenge on SCS.  This week the featured stamper is Nan Cee.  She has such a pretty gallery be sure to take a look!  I chose this card to CASE.  I kept a lot of the elements the same as her card.  A couple of changes include: embossed sentiment, added a tag behind my flower, and I didn't stamp on my green layer so I could add my sentiment.  

This card had me dabbling at using my Zig Clean Color brush markers.  I followed a tutorial that Gina included on Stamp TV.  As I used them I got more used to them, and started to get the blending the way I wanted it.  I have a lot more practice ahead of me with these brush markers.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you all have a safe and wonderful New Year!!!

It's Your Birthday

Supplies: Stamps: Gina K On My Mind In My Heart, Spring Mix Stamp TV kit stamp set  Paper: Melon Mambo, black onyx, Gina K heavy base weight white and artist quality white  Accessories:  copic markers, Gina K tag set, linen thread

Here is another card using the stamp set On My Mind In My Heart.  This time I used a portion of the stamped image to decorate my tag.  I just love this tag with the pierced edges!  I colored in the flowers with copic markers and added some linen thread.  I didn't quite know what kind of layout to use with a tag, so I went searching on Pinterest.  I came up with nothing!  So I decided to keep it simple and added an embossed background and colored cardstock to frame the focal image.   

Thanks for stopping by!

A Visit to Village Paper and Ink

Supplies: Stamps: Gina K You're On My Mind and In My Heart  Ink: Memento tuxedo black  Paper: Daffodil Delight, Black Onyx, Artist Quality white cardstock  Accessories: Gina K: Tag Trio die set, dragonfly brad, dimensionals, linen twine

We ventured out into the negative temperatures that we are having in Wisconsin this week, and had a visit to the Village Paper and Ink store.  And the bonus was there was 15% off everything!  I enjoyed my visit, there is so much product to look at and so many wonderful samples to view as well.  So today I decided to make some cards with the items I purchased.  This card used the new free stamp set with a $75 purchase.  I love all of the flowers and how Springy it looks.  I stamped it on the artist quality white cardstock in memento tuxedo black ink, and colored it with copic markers.  I love the artist quality cardstock with copic markers, it makes blending so easy.  I highly recommend this paper!!  It says it is good with colored pencils also, but I haven't tried it with them yet. After I colored my focal image I die cut a tag and popped it up with dimensionals.  I also added a dragonfly brad, does anyone use brads anymore?!  I thought this one looked sweet with all of the flowers.  I added some linen thread to the top of the tag and that completed my card.  

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Merry Little Christmas

Supplies: Stamps:  Hero Arts Merry stamp and cut  Ink: Versamagic Hint of Pesto  Paper: Gina K ivory, SU cherry cobbler, Authentique: Christmastime Accessories: Hero Arts Merry Stamp and Cut

Sunday brings us the Featured Stamper challenge on SCS.  This week the Featured Stamper is Donna.  I chose to CASE this card.  I really liked the layout.  I have word die cuts and I'm not always sure how to implement them into a card design.  This layout helped with that!  I kept the layout the same and changed the theme of the card to Christmas.  

Thanks for stopping by!
