You're A Classic

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card made for my future brother-in-law's birthday using a fairly new stamp set called Oil Always Love You from The Cats Pajamas that I just haven't used until now.  It's ending up being a belated birthday card thanks to health issues and just not having the energy to much of anything.

 

I started out by stamping the main image twice (once on card stock and once on scrap designer paper) in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring parts of the image using Castle Art pencils and a blender pencil.  Once the coloring was finished, I added some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink and Stampin Up going grey ink using my blender brushes from Picket Fence Studios before layering and adding brads.  I then took the stamped designer paper images and cut those out so I could paper piece them onto the blank areas of my colored image panel.  For the card, I pulled out some scrap vintage clock face designer paper I had bought at Costco years ago and hadn't finished using up yet, added that to an artichoke card before blending Tim Holtz forest moss distress ink around the edges using my blender brushes.  I then took a scrap strip of Close To My Heart designer paper, layered it onto some chocolate card stock, then added to the card.  After stamping the saying onto the layered image panel, I added that to the card using dimensionals.  The only other embellishments were highlighting parts of the rabbits face using a black artist pen then some dew drops as the cars hub caps and some in the bottom right corner of the card.

It's TCP Tuesday Time!

Hello and welcome.  Today I am sharing a few cards I've made for this month's TCP Tuesday paper piecing challenge.  Although it's a very simple technique with beautiful results, it's also one I don't do very often.

My first card uses one of my favorite TCP sets, Coffee, Tea, Meow along with some scrap designer paper for the tablecloth, heart pearl brads, ribbon, and a pearl dew drop.  Miss Sprinkle is also colored using prismacolor markers and a blender marker.

My second card features Oh Chute on a one layer scrap card, scrap designer paper for the parachute, a die cut cloud border I cut apart, popped up, then stippled ink on and some hand drawn birds.  I also stippled some of my own clouds using a scalloped oval punch scrap along with Tim Holtz tumbled glass ink.

There's still time for you to enter into the challenge so what are you waiting for?  Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Happy Birthday Magnolias - Friends of SpeedyTV #20

Hello and welcome to another Friends of SpeedyTV challenge.  This week we are challenge to use the paper piecing technique.

I started out by stamping my images from Mother's Magnolias in memento tuxedo black onto Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company snow storm smooth and then again onto Cosmo Cricket Clementine designer papers before cutting them out to adhere to my stamped card.  After I added my cut out images, I stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass around the flowers before layering and then adding some red brads from my stash.  Then I added a couple of die cut scalloped borders before popping up my layered images and added some ripened tomato satin ribbon with a gold clip.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and make sure to stop by SpeedyTV and participate in this week's challenge.
