OCC Day 11 - Play Day

Hello everyone,

Today is the last day of class and it's time to play.

I was inspired by Laura's card and here is what I did.

I love the gradient colour and I also love my SSS inks.  I stamped the sentiment in Versafine and since it stays wet longer I was able to heat emboss it with clear embossing powder.   I used two different sentiments and used a different part of the stamp from each set.  I used the "wherever you go" from Up and Away - Mama Elephant and "shine" from The Big, the Bold & Fun - Winnie & Walter.  I cut down the card front and popped it up with foam squares onto a A2 size card base.

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp: Favorite Flowers (SSS)

Winnie & Walter:  The Big, the bold & Fun (SSS)

Judikins Clear embossing powder (amazon.ca) 

Simons Says Stamp Inks:  Sea Glass, Mint, Audrey Blue and Soft Navy.

Hero Arts Shadow ink:  Tide Pool (SSS) 

Versafine Onnyx Black ink (SSS)

Recollections 110# white card stock(Michaels)

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!

SSS Wednesday Challenge - "Let's be Clear"

Hello everyone!

I am playing along withe the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Let's be Clear".  They are featuring Clearly Besotted Stamps and you have to use something clear on your card.

Today I used a few things and the first is clear stamps.  I used the Lawn Fawn Critters in the Sea and I used the whale.  For the background I used stencils that I cut out with my Silhouette and used Peacock Feathers and Black Soot distress inks.  I coloured in the whale with my copics and used my white gel pen to add in the dots.  

 My clear part for this challenge is the liquid glass (CTMH) to cove the water spray on the top of the whale's head and clear Wink of Stella glitter pen on the waves in the background.

I stamped the sentiment in Versa Fine Onyx black ink, which is my favourite for sentiments.

I used Recollections 110# card stock for the whale, waves and the background.

Supplies:

Copic Markers (Michaels)

Happy Birthday Card

Hello everyone,

I have a card that I made for my mother-in-laws birthday.

I picked up an Art Impressions stamp set from Michaels over the weekend with a coupon and I coloured her in with my distress markers.  I also used the Lawn Fawn Interlocking backdrops.

And since I was on a roll, I decided to colour in the there image that is included in the set.  These ladies are a blast to colour.

Thanks for stopping by.

OCC Day 3 & 4 Watercolour for Card Makers

Hello everyone!

Here is my card for day 3 of the Watercolour for Card Makers.  I was inspired by Kristina's card.

I used the Canson 140lb watercolour paper.  for the background I used metallic watercolours that I got from Amazon and I love them.  They give a nice amount of shimmer. I used one of the stamp sets from a SSS CKOM for the flowers and sentiment.  I stamped the flowers with Dusty Concord distress marker and the stems I did free hand with my green distress marker (I think it was mowed lawn) and I stamped the sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink.  The card size is 3x3.

Here is my card for Day 4.  I was inspired by Yana's card.  

I loved how her card turned out.  I did try a couple of different things but this seamed to work the best for me at the time.  

I used a stamp set from CTMH that is retired but it's a build your sentiment set and there were a few detailed flowers and a few other images included that worked great with this technique.

I used the same Canson watercolour paper as the first card, actually I bought a 50 sheet pack before class started and that's the only water colour paper I am using.  I have 90lb watercolour paper too but I like the heavier one better.  

I used inexpensive Artist Loft watercolours and black Recollections cards stock from Michaels and the sentiment is from Avery Elle Handwriten Notes.  The rest of the sentiment is inside the card.  It's "Happy Birthday To You" and I didn't like the way the "To You" would have looked on the front so I put it inside.

Thanks for stopping by!  

See you for Day 4 & 5!
