Mailing Packages

Hello and welcome.  It's time for another weekly challenge over at Catch The Bug and today I have a card made using this week's freebie Crabby Cathy Mail Packages.  I have the same image using Stella, but not Crabby Cathy.  Gotta love them both!!  Now Jodie, at Bugaboo, is having some computer issues still, so the freebie may not appear on the freebie download page.  Jodie is working on getting the issues resolved as soon as possible.  If you don't want to wait for that, you can purchase the image here.

 

I started out by printing the image onto Neenah white card stock before coloring using my Castle Art pencils and a blender pencil.  I then stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges before layering and adding brads.  I then took some scrap card stock and dry embossed it using my Big Shot and a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder.  Once those were layered and added to the card, I dusted off a Making Memories poinsettia flower, added that using glue dots before adding a red bling center.  I then popped up the layered image using pop dots and then added a clear bling flourish.

Clean And Simple Hello

Hello and welcome.  Today's Bugaboo theme challenge over at Catch The Bug is Anything Goes.  For my project today, I chose to go with a clean and simple card featuring an older Bugaboo image, although new to me, called Ladybug Hello.  I really like how this image looks with the neat handwriting off to the side.

My image is printed onto Hammermill white card stock then colored using prismacolor and copic markers.  I decided to stipple what tumbled glass ink remained on the brush to help give a bit of color for the sky before outlining the writing using a black 3D glaze pen.

Flowers And Trains

Hello and welcome.  Second post for me today.  If you're looking for my Stella frame, please scroll down one.  Thank you.

I needed to use up some designer paper and card stock on my desk, so I pulled out this beautiful floral image from Bugaboo.  Using the designer paper as a guide, I then colored the image using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering. I then added some light green organdy ribbon, orange enamel dots/hearts, and highlighted parts of the floral panel using Sakura 3D glaze pens.

The second card I'd like to share with you I needed for a graduation, so I dusted off one of my long retired Stampin Up sets called Happiness Is A Journey.

I started out by stamping the image, and saying, in Tim Holtz vintage photo distress ink before edging them with walnut stain distress ink and layering.  I then added some brushed copper brads I've had in my stash for years.  For the card, I dusted off some Making Memories Travel designer paper, added the postcard paper then created my center border.  After adding some copper cord, image was added using dimensionals and the saying using pop up glue dots.

Eagle And The Lighthouse

Hello and welcome.  It sure does feel good to be stamping and coloring again.  Today I'd like to share a card made using one of the new digital stamps from Impression Obsession called Eagle Lighthouse H1991.

After printing off my image onto Neenah white card stock, I pulled out and dusted off my prismacolor pencils.  Probably haven't used those in a few years too.  Bad mommy!! ;)  After coloring the image, and layering, I ran a distressing tool along the sides of the layered image before adding over a dry embossed border panel.  Once my card was made, I color spritzed an artichoke marker onto the kraft card base.  The only embellishments used were brads, ice stickles, and a Sakura 3D glaze pen to highlight the eagles eye, beak and claws.
