Colorful Coffee Rings

Hello, it is Shirley posting today. I am still having fun playing with the Ken Oliver Color Bursts. They sure make wonderful backgrounds. I think you will like the one on my card today.

I created the background  using the Memory Box Texture Drip Rings stencil, along with the Ken Oliver Color Bursts in Orange and Lemon Yellow. Some of my Ultramarine Color Bursts was already on the paper when I started, and that is where the green color came from. I turned the stencil over and spritzed it with water, then I added the color bursts and let it run on the stencil, then I turned the stencil back over and put it on  water color paper. The Color Bursts sure make some amazing backgrounds.

I stamped coffee beans on the  card, colored it with a marker and added the sentiment. I wanted to add something a little extra, without covering up my Color Bursts creation, so I added some Black Rhinestones.

I used a yellow card base, and added a layer of black, before adding the finished water color paper to it.

Thanks, for coming by today and taking a look at my card. Have a great weekend!

Thankful

Welcome friends! Mindy here, with my sample card for this weeks card challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such.  This week's theme is #109 Gobble-Gobble, because Thanksgiving is just around the corner. There are many things I am thankful for, especially the many followers of our blog and newsletter.

I started today's card with an embossing folder that is NEW at the Classy Cards store. It is the Braided Vines embossing folder by Sue Wilson, and is one of the larger sized folders, 8.5" X 12". The only problem I had was my machine is one of the smaller models and the folder was too big to fit. I am planning to get a new machine soon with the larger plate, so I decided to use the folder in a different way. I opened it and applied my ink on the raised side, then stamped the image on my background stock. I then inked around the edge before adhering to my card base.

I then die cut a stitched oval and used Joy! Small Foam pads to adhere it to my card.

I then cut two Classic Tom Turkeys, from Memory Box, and a handful of leaves from the Small Leaf Set by Impression Obsession.  I colored the small leaves with many colors from the Complete set of Earth Tone Color Bursts from Ken Oliver Crafts, on watercolor paper, then adhered them with Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive.

The sentiment used was from the I Am Thankful stamp set from Impression Obsession, and I added a few hand-cut sequins from the Sequins Die-namics die from My Favorite Things.

I hope you have enjoyed my card, and will join us for our challenge this week.

Autumn Shaker

Hi there, Diane with you today!

Here we are at the first of November and soon it will be

turkey time! Which brings us to our fun challenge #109 this week at Classy Cards 'n Such, with a theme of Gobble Gobble, add a turkey!

I first started by using the Ken Oliver Color Bursts puffed on a wet piece of water color paper (the smoother side).

Colors used were Yellow Ochre, Pthalo Green, Sepia, and Burnt Orange, in that order.

I used my heat tool to dry the paper, then cut out three turkey feather sections using PoppyStamps Festive Turkey. Joy! Small Foam Pads were used to pop up each of the three layers. Here is a side view of the layers.

Once the turkey was finished (time to eat...lol). I decided to make a shaker card. I used a Spellbinders Basic Circle die and used the negative cut from that.

I cut a clear piece of plastic I recycled from packaging and using Scor-Tape 1/4", I adhered it to the card stock negative.

I stamped a row of trees, added foam tape then sequins for the shaker. However, I didn't have any sequins in all the colors I wanted for fall, so I quickly grabbed My Favorite Things Sequins die, and die cut my own from Yellow Iris Shimmer Sheetz and Orange Iris Shimmer Sheetz.

Birthday Star

It is Shirley posting today. I have been playing  with the Ken Oliver Color Bursts again. I really love the way the background turned out on this one.

I started out with a white card base and added a layer of red foil card stock. The top layer is white card stock. I sprinkled Ken Oliver Alizarin Crimson Color Burst on the card stock and spritzed it with water. Next I sprinkled it with Ken Oliver Orange Color Burst and spritzed it with water. I let the colors air dry, but you can carefully use a heat gun to dry it if you are in a hurry to decorate your card.

I used the Memory Box Over the Moon and Stars die to cut the star from red foil card stock, and one from gold card stock.

I attached the stars together and used Joy Small Foam Pads to pop the star up on the card.

The Impression Obsession Greeting Set was used to cut the Birthday Wishes from gold foil card stock. I attached them to the card using Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive to attach the greeting to the card.

That completes my card. I hope you liked it. Have a good weekend.

Bokeh Technique

Good day, Crafters! It is Shirley posting today. I have made a card using the Bokeh technique. This is the first card I have made using this technique.

The first step in making this card was making the background. I took white card stock and sprinkled Ken Oliver Color Burst in Ultramarine Blue, then misted with water. I repeated this step using Orange and Alizarin Crimson Color Bursts. There were a few areas that needed touching up, so I just used the colors I needed and spritzed again. In some spots I used more water, and let the colors run and mix, which was perfect to create the green color on my card stock.

Next, I made  a template using the Memory Box Over The Moon and Stars die. I took a piece of Clear Card Stock and placed the die over it to cut the template. Once the card stock was dry, I used the template over the clear card stock. I placed the template  where I wanted the stars and moons. I used White craft ink to sponge over them, using circular motions.

I layered my finished piece over gold card stock, and made the card base using So...Silk Glamour Green card stock.

I cut a star out of gold card stock to place over the main Bokeh star. I added a sentiment banner and added a gold star.

For the finish, I placed Silver Rhinestones over the card for the finishing touch.

Thank you for tuning in today. I hope you visit us again soon.
