Brrr.. it's cold outside

Hello friends! It's Diana today. Is it chilly where you are yet?

I made another card with the adorable PoppyStamps Stacked Mittens die. 

I started with a red and Kraft color scheme, and the MFT Blueprints 13 die set.

After I die cut the Stacked Mittens out of the watercolor sheet used for the fishtail banner, I carefully removed the mittens with all the little pieces.

I then sponged Broken China on the fishtail banner. I also splattered some more stain around the banner. Once that was dried, I glued the mittens back in with all the pieces. I then used a watercolor brush to color the little pieces.

I added a bit of twine to a double row hole strip from MFT Blueprints 15, and added some strong 1/2" Scor-Tape to make sure it would stay. Because that made it a bit bulky, I popped up the top banner with some Large Foam Tabs.

Joyful Birthday

Hello and welcome to the blog today!  Jenny, here with you, sharing a card I created. This for the current challenge #96 Adding Texture.

The base is a white A2 card that I embossed with Anna Griffin's Cheery Blossom embossing folder. I cut a rectangle in black using Impression Obsession's Rectangles 6-in-1 Frame, and glued it on top.The flowers were made by cutting the flowers from Heartfelt Creations, Botanical Wings dies, using white card stock.

Before coloring the petals I scrunched them up, accordion folding the edges. Then I spritzed the petals with Picked Raspberry Distress Spray, and then again with Pearl Glimmer Mist. I scrunched the petals even more and let them dry.

The banner is an Impression Obsession die from my stash that I popped up using Joy! Large Foam Pads. Once the flowers were dry, I glued Pearls in the centers and adhered them to the card front with Scor-Tape. I added some white leaves around from a die from my stash.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you can join in the fun challenge this week, for a chance to win a great prize!

Rose Red

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a new card I made using the Heartfelt Creations Botanical Wings die.

I started by stamping the Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose Stamps, and then cut them with the matching Botanical Wings die. I sprayed the flowers with water and scrunched them up. I also used a stylus from the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit to help shape, while gluing the flower layers together.

I used Spray Stain and Glimmer Mists to color the roses and while they were drying I assembled the rest.

The A2 card has a layer of Kraft card stock, and then a layer of Graphic 45 Botanical Tea.

I cut and colored the frilly Joy! Crafts Circle, using distress ink and a Mini Ink Blending Tool. Next, I stamped the JustRite Floral Vintage Labels 2 sentiment, on a Spellbinders circle from my stash. The circle was popped up higher using Joy Foam Pads to adhere it to the card.

I added the black centers, (from a die in my stash), and pearls to the flowers, and arranged them around the circle. After gluing them down I added foliage from the Memory Box Fresh Foliage die.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Retirement

Hi, Diane with you today! Don't you just love it when you can take a bit of ink, a few dies, some card stock, and have a quick card in no time? I know I do and this card was fast and perfect for the occasion.

I first started by inking up a blue card stock panel with Distress Broken China ink and the Mini Ink Blending Tool,

to represent a swirling ocean. The waves are Joy! Crafts  Waves die. I popped up my waves with Joy! Small Foam Pads. I slightly bent the waves for a bit more of a 3D effect!

The Impression Obsession Sailboats was cut from white card stock, then I colored the bottom with a red marker. This set of dies has 3 different sailboats, I used the largest one.

I wanted a pattern for the Impression Obsession Sea Birds, so I used a gray ink on white card stock, using Impression Obsession Cracked Paint Cover a Card stamp, (as shown above), then die cut them out.

I finished by adding a sentiment and a  bit of twine!

Thank you for visiting with me today!

Deer at Sunset

Hi, it is Diana here this afternoon! When I saw this week's inspiration photo for this week's CCNS Father's Day challenge, knew I wanted to use the Memory Box Leaping Deer against a sunset background.

To make a wooded sunset background, I used the Memory Box Garden Birch Trees stencil, and Dreamweaver Regular Embossing Paste, mixed with Wild Honey Distress Stain. I started from the top of my taped stencil and dragged the paste down using a Palette Knife. Since I only mixed a little bit, (didn't want to waste any since I don't want to put the mixed stain back into the container), I only had enough to go down 3/4 of the way. I then started from the bottom with some unmixed white paste. As I blended it with the stained paste, I got a lovely gradation of yellow. I removed the stencil and after it dried, I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A to trim it down. I then placed the stencil back on and sponged Spiced Marmalade at the top to deepen the sunset effect.

To finish my scene, I added more die-cuts, using the Impression Obsession's Grass Border die and Rabbit Set. I added some shading to the deer with markers and popped him and the front bunny up with Joy Small Foam Pads.
