The prize will be a $10 Gift Certificate from

My Favorite Things

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week WE are sponsoring the challenge for a gift certificate to My Favorite Things.  For my card this week, I pulled out a retired set called Happy Waddle (I've had for some time) and a slimline card for a one-layer look. After stamping the images in memento tuxedo black ink, and coloring using my Castle Arts pencils, I stenciled the background clouds using a PFS slimline cloud coverage stencil and Tim Holtz stormy sky before stippling tumbled glass distress ink for the "ice".    The only embellishments added was diamond and waterfall ice stickles.

Make A Wish With Balloons

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share another card I made as guest designer for Gerda Steiner Designs for their May 2023 release.  Today I'm sharing a cute birthday card that could be for all ages.

I started out by stamping my images from the Cupcake Mice set, along with my saying, on scrap Neenah white card stock then coloring using both Prismacolor and Copic markers before layering and adding three white brads.  I then dug through my brad stash to locate the balloon brads I knew I had somewhere but haven't used in a long time.  After adding an orange balloon brad, I then lightly stippled leftover pacific pointe ink around my image panel.  Taking a Marvy balloon punch I've had for years, I punched out red, blue, and yellow balloons to add to my card using both glue dots and pop dots.  For my card, I took a Rubbernecker birthday balloons stencil I had won (and not used yet), and blended Stampin Up summer sun, pure poppy and pacific pointe inks using my blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios before adhering it to my card.  Taking a black gel pen, I highlighted the make a wish before adding faux stitching and then "strings" for my balloons.  The final touches were yellow ice stickles and a clear 3D glaze pen to highlight the birthday hat, eyes and mouse's nose. 

 

Here's the progression of my card:

Blimey!

Hello and welcome.  I received this cute pirate stamp set as a thank you gift in a recent order from The Cat's Pajamas (so I have no idea name of this set) and I had some scrap card stock still on my desk from the Dare To Get Dirty challenges on Splitcoaststampers and decided to try turning all that into a card.

I started out by stamping my images/saying in memento tuxedo black ink onto scrap Hammermill white then coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers.  I then stippled Tim Holtz old paper, tumbled glass and chipped sapphire distress inks over and around to "age" the image panel a bit before layering onto scrap card stock.  For the card, I pulled out a scrap piece of kraft card stock then added some "old world map" scrap designer paper I had bought at Costco years ago. For embellishments, I added some thread, small punched navy flowers, ice stickles, faux sewing and a few hand drawn "birds".  I do apologize for the "sepia" colored pictures.  Unfortunately, due to all of the smoke from the wildfires we have here in California, this is the best I'm getting right now.
