Catch A Wave

 

Hello and welcome.   Today I'd like to share a card I made using the Catch A Wave stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs paired with a digital background from Conjurer of Dreams.  

 

I started out by stamping all of my images, and saying, in memento tuxedo black ink on to scrap white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I fussy cut my colored images out before adhering it to a card with an Island Hut background.  For the saying, I deliberately made sure to fussy cut it at an angle to look like a banner.  I then die cut the sun and seagulls from scrap card stock before stippling Tim Holtz wild honey distress ink over the sun.  Once my scene was assembled, I added a few sequins and stickles glitter glue before highlighting parts of the colored images using 3D glaze pens.

  Pattie's Creations 

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Pattie's Creations.  I would like to thank Pattie for sponsoring this week's challenge.  My card this week uses Pattie's Star Shaped Coastal Wreath colored using my Ohuhu markers. Once my coloring was finished, I layered it before adhering to a green card base.  For embellishments, I added some holly bling, red/green gems and a small bow from my stash.  As a final touch, I highlighted the berries/lighthouse/orange/seashell using a clear 3D glaze pen.  The final touch was stamping the Merry Christmas greeting underneath.  I'm very happy with how this turned out.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this we're being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I would like a moment to thank them for sponsoring this week's challenge. My card for this week is once again using the Birthday Before N Afters set.

I started out by stamping my images using memento tuxedo black ink onto scrap white card stock before coloring them using my Ohuhu markers.  Once my coloring was finished, I layered it, added some red brads then added it to a red card with some never used Die Cuts With A View designer paper.  The only other embellishment added was some star dust stickles to highlight the confetti and candle flame and a red cord along the top.

Let's TACO About Your Birthday

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Recently my son needed a card for a friend's birthday being held at a TACO Bell Cantina.  He wanted to know if I had any taco themed stamps.  So I dug out my old Paper Smooches Calorie Free and Sentiment Sampler sets and got to work making a clean and simple card for him to give.  

 

I started out by stamping the taco image, and just a note saying, in memento tuxedo black using my MISTI before coloring using Ohuhu markers to color it.  Taking some scraps, I layered the image panel before adhering it to a lime green card.  The only embellishment added was a small pre-made green checked bow.  The happy birthday saying was then stamped inside.  I knew that taco stamp would come into use someday.  I'm glad I kept it.

WANTED: For A Little Too Much Fun

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a couple of cards I've had finished for a bit but not able to upload thanks to my migraine, and fibromyalgia, flare using images from Conjurer of Dreams.

 

First up is a card made using the Wanted Poster along with the Leprechaun Mugshots.  I just love the COD mugshot sets.  What a great way to have some snarky fun.  After combining the image sets, I printed it out onto Hammermill white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered the main image, distressed using a distressing tool, then stippled some Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink using a blender brush.  After adding some vintage brads, I highlighted the board saying using a white gel pen then added some bling.  As an afterthought, I "wrote" over the WANTED using my Ohuhu Metallic Glitter markers.  I'm really pleased with how this turned out.

Aud Sentiments #335 - Glitter/Bling and/or St Patrick's Green (glitter markers, green)

 

 

 

Next up, is another WANTED "poster" using COD's Easter Bunny Mugshots and the same Wanted image.  Again I colored the mugshot using my Ohuhu© markers before stippling more walnut stain distress ink around it before adding it to a card covered with Easter Morning designer paper. The "charges" are  highlighted using a white gel pen before adding some organdy ribbon and flat backed MFT acrylic dots I've had for years and not used to finish it off.  I'm really happy how this one turned out.

Happy St. Patty's Day

 

Hello and welcome.  Quick post today since I'm still dealing with a nasty migraine, and fibromyalgia, flare.  I'd like to share a couple of quick cards I finished several days ago, but couldn't post because of pain.   I made them both using images from Conjurer of Dreams using the following sets: Grumpy Leprechauns, green silks.  I kept them both pretty simple and added only ribbon scraps and bling to finish them off.
