Dance is a superpower

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to all!

Today's card is using the Super SWEET Limbo Dance Daphne set, from I Brake For Stamps Humorous Senior Stamps. I made this card for this weeks Sketch challenge on SCS, and thought she was PERFECT for this sketch! I wanted to use some different colors as I love mixing them up a bit, so went with the red, teal, yellow, and pink for this card today.

My card was super simple to make, as I cut the white card stock for the base at 6" x 12" and then scored at 6" to make my 6" x 6" card.

Next I cut the blue/teal card stock at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2", and the red is 5 1/4" x 5 1/4". For the dp pieces I used 2 pieces and then a strip. The 2 main ones are5" x 2 1/2" and then 5" x 3" then I had a piece leftover and cut it5 " x 1" that is the yellow. I then added my sewing. Super EASY!! I stamped my sentiment on the chevron design paper.

 

For my image, I stamped her in black memento ink, and then colored with copics BG15,BG32,BG23. Next I used E27,E57 for the hair, and for the red I used R59. The skin tone is R00. and for the glasses I used a Red "atyou spica" pen. I did add some stickles to her outfit and flowers.

 

Lastly to embellish I used  Really Reasonable ribbons, American Crafts brads, and  some sewing!

Beautiful Dogwood Blossoms & Video Tutorial

Hello everyone, Today' card I created for I Brake For Stamps, using the Beautiful "Dogwood Blossoms" Stamp. LOVE this beauty! Super easy to color, and I really enjoyed using the blues and yellows here.

So my card was created for SplitCoastStampers Color challenge yesterday! I tried to get the blues as close as possible, so I did have to mix 3 colors to do so...hehehehee I do love the way they turned out & decided to make a video on how I colored them.

 

 I stamp the Beautiful Dogwood Blossoms stamp in memento black ink, and then colored them up using copic markers BG09,BG72,B18 , those were used for the blues on the flowers. Next I used Y08, & YR31 for the centers. I then added some stickles to give some glitz! 

The layers I cut a 12 x 6 black card stock, then scored at 6" to create my 6 x 6 card.

Next I cut another black at 5 3/4" x 5 3/4". then yellow Echo park dp at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". set aside to sew later. Next  black layer was cut at 5" x 5" and then the blue design paper at 4 3/4" x 4 3/4", set this aside to sew later. Last layer was cut at 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" , then the yellow dp was cut at 3 1/4" x 3 1/4", now I take and sew each panel.

Embellishments- I added some white gel dots, Yellow ribbon, big pearl, and some green brads to complete my card for today.



I love that all the flowers are blooming right now, its so nice to see, after what seemed to be a long winter. I Brake for stamps carries so many beautiful flower stamps, and even some NEW Releases, that can be found HERE!~ All Flowers can be found HERE!

Coincidence is....



 God's way of remaining anonymous.
Hello everyone and Happy Thursday to all! My card for today was created for The Project Bin " A Way With Words" & Splitcoaststampers "Way to use it" Challenge.



 On my card I used The Project Bins "A Way With Words" set "Wise Men" and LOVE this sentiment and all the others in this set! To see the entire set, please click HERE!

Today's Splitcoaststampers challenge consist of using a TREE, and I wanted to use this new set as I LOVE all the sentiments in it. I stamped my sentiment in Memento Black ink, and then used a spellbinders die to cut it out. For the coloring on it, I kept the die on top and then airbrushed using copic BG32 , that way the main image was colored to coordinate with my card.

Next I had a piece of a die cut frame laying around on my work station, so I colored it with copic R39 so it too would match up. I layered it on top of a scrap piece of pink card stock, and then used a circle punch to cut all four corners of the pink. Love how you can do that with punches to give your layers a different look

Speaking of layers -
First is my card base 6" x 12", score at 6"
Next is  the blue at 5 3/4" x 5 3/4", then the striped echo park "Sweet Girl" dp, and that was cut at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". Next layer is a blue card stock at 5" x 5" , then red at 4 3/4" x 4 3/4", and dp at 4 1/2" x 4 1/2". next layer is 4 x 4 , then dp is 3 3/4" x 3 3/4", then add all sewing to all panels.
Main Sentiment panel is 3 3/4" x 2 1/2"

Embellishments would consist of Stickles, gems, sewing, and Really Reasonable Ribbon.
