It's A Halloween Pumpkin Patch

Hello and welcome.  Second post from me today.  For my stained glass sunflower, please scroll down one. 

I'm sharing one of the cards I made for Splitcoaststampers Dare To Get Dirty challenges.  It's a week full of online challenges hosted by the Dirty Girls for SCS fan club members once a year.  You can do as many, or as few, as you like or physically can.  You just have to be a fan club member.

My project is a slimline card and is made using a long retired, and dusty, Stampin Up set called Carved and Candlelight.  I stamped the images onto Hammermill white card stock then masked the pumpkins before stippling basic gray, pumpkin pie, garden green and Tim Holtz chipped sapphire, stormy sky, and dusty concord before layering and adding silver brads.  I then stamped two more pumpkins, fussy cut them out and popped up on dimensionals.  Taking some pumpkin pie and garden green scraps, I punched several different flowers, added using glue dots and then highlighted using silver ice stickles.  The final touches was a silver moon brad and some hand drawn "bats" using Souffle 3D pens.

Celebrating You With Balloons And A Puppy

Hello and welcome.  Today is Freebie Friday over at Bugaboo Stamps and is a cute little puppy holding a bouquet of balloons.  This image would be great for any type of celebration, scrapping a family vacation, or just to say hello.  For my card, I chose to turn it into a birthday card.

After printing the image off onto Hammermill white card stock and coloring with both prismacolor and copic markers, I stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink over, and around, the image.  I then stippled Tim Holtz faded jeans and old paper to "vintage" the image up a bit before edging it in chipped sapphire ink and layering.  I then added the layered panel to a navy card with Basic Grey Boxer designer paper that I dusted off.  I then took a retired Stampin Up set Mixed Greetings and stamped the saying in memento black before stippling the same inks on it.  Since I didn't have anymore navy brads I made my own "faux brads" with a small hole punch and a Martha Stewart glue pen.  As a final thought, I added some faux sewing lines on both panels, popped the saying panel up over the image and added some never before used navy tear drops.  The final embellishments were some navy hemp twine, 3D glaze pens, and a white gel pen on the puppy's eyes.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Pool Party!

Hello and welcome again.  Now I'd like to share with you a card I stamped with this cute little set called Penguin Summer (which is no longer available) from The Cats Pajamas. 

After stamping the images and saying onto white card stock, I colored them using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering the saying.  For the penguin images, I fussy cut them out so they could be added to a card with pool water designer paper that I've had for years in my stash.  Once the penguins were added, I added the layered saying.  Since I didn't have matching brads in the color I wanted, I made my own using scrap card stock and a MS glue pen.  The final touches were white organdy ribbon and Sakura 3D glaze pens to highlight parts of the saying and images.
