Flowers and Cows

 Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a couple of cards made for the Summer Festivals Virtual Stamp Night over at Splitcoaststampers.  

My first card was a mini slimline made using the Fairy Swing digital image from All Dressed Up digital stamps that I've had for a bit and never used.  After printing my image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored her using both Lyra flesh tone and Castle Arts pencils before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink and Stampin Up regal rose ink using my blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios.  Once all of the coloring/stippling was finished, I layered her and added some pink brads before adhering to my card using glue dots.  I then punched several flowers, and a couple butterflies, from scrap card stock using my Martha Stewart punches then adhered them using Ranger's glossy accents before adding crystal ice stickles to the centers.  The final touch was highlighting this sweet little girl's eyes and shoes using a clear Sakura 3D glaze pen.

My second card uses a couple of dusty, retired, Stampin Up sets I've had for YEARS.  Did I say years?? Since I needed a thank you card, I pulled out the cow/saying from Stampin Up's Udderly Moovelous set and stamped that in memento tuxedo black before coloring the cow image using prismacolor and copic markers before layering and adding brads.  For the background I used the retired Stampin Up Chicken Wire background and stamped it in memento tuxedo black ink before adding to my card base.  After that I added my layered image by popping it up using dimensionals before attaching a small blue gingham bow.

Love, Hearts, Buttons and Bows

Hello and welcome.  I'm guest designing for the new Monday Greetings challenge over at the Outlawz.  For this challenge, the theme is Buttons and Bows and we are being sponsored by All Dressed Up digital stamps.  I would like to thank them for providing the Love Hearts image for the design team; which is a new one (NBUS) for me.

 

After printing my image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art pencils and a blender pencil before stippling real red ink around the edges then layering.  After adding some baby button brads, I then added it to my card base.  My card is made out of real red card stock with some dusty K&Co designer paper I've had in my stash for years and not used.  I then stamped my saying in memento tuxedo black and punched it out using my dusty Stampin Up oval punches.  Finally, I added a little red bow.
