Stella Says Sketch

 

Hello and welcome to another Stella Says Sketch over at Catch The Bug.  Today I'd like to share with you a cute Christmas card (yes I'm already working on them) featuring Bugaboo's Cute Snowman 3.  For my card, I took the liberty of flipping the sketch on it's side and adding an image panel to it.

 

After printing my image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass around the edges before layering.  I then added dimensionals before popping it up onto a blue card stamped with snowflakes.  I kept embellishments simple and added some sequin snowflakes from my stash with ice stickle centers.

Ain't No Sunshine Sketch

 

Hello and welcome.  Today is another Stella Says Sketch over at Catch The Bug.  For my project, I am using a recently released image called Bugaboo Angels - Ain't No Sunshine.  However, I tipped the sketch on it's end and made a slimline card.  

After printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art pencils with a blender pencil before blending Tim Holtz broken china and stormy sky distress inks around it using blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios.  I then took one of my stipple brushes and lightly stippled the broken china ink around the edges of the image panel before layering and adding brads.  I then stamped my card using a retired, and dusty, Stampin Up splat roller wheel and pink passion ink.  I  then took a scrap of some Colorbok Light Bright designer paper, added that, then sponged the pink passion ink around the edges of the card base before adding my layered image panel.  I then dusted off some Recollections flowers and a Marvy splat punch, added the flowers and the punched splat using micro glue dots.  After highlighting parts of the colored image/saying using Sakura 3D glaze and souffle pens, I then added some Spiked Ocean Water Sequins from Picket Fence Studios.  The final touch was diamond ice stickles highlighting the images "raindrops".

A Spooktacular Day

Hello and welcome.  It's time for another Stella Says Sketch over on Catch The Bug.  For my card, I decided to go with a spooky theme and use an image I've had for a while but just never used called Have A Spooktacular Day.

 

After printing my image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using some Castle Art pencils I received for my birthday last month before layering and adding some black brads.  I then took some scrap card stock, dry embossed it using a cuttlebug spiderweb embossing folder and my big shot. For my card, I took some scrap designer paper I bought from the Target dollar spot years ago, added that, then added my embossed panels before popping up the main image panel using dimensionals.  Since my saying is part of the main image, I added some yellow/green dew drops to the bottom right corner.  The only other embellishments was yellow ice stickles, Sakura 3D glaze pens highlighting parts of the image panel and sponging green galore dye ink around the edges of the card.

Out Of This World Thanks

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made to say thank you to another healthcare worker on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

After printing off the Monster 4 Block from Bugaboo Digital Stamps, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering.  I then stamped the card background using a retired Stampin Up set before adding a dry embossed scrap strip.  I then added the layered image using dimensionals before adding some SU enamel dots then highlighting parts of the image using 3D glaze pens.  The only other embellishments added were ice stickles for parts of the antenna and planet rings, googlie eyes, and buttons.

Star Wars and Duct Tape

Hi there and welcome.  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Stella Says Sketch #510 over at Bugaboo Digital Stamps.  I took a bit of creative liberty with the sketch by putting a dew drops where the saying was supposed to be since my saying is part of the stamp.  Here's the sketch.

I started off by printing one of my favorite images from Bugaboo called Frame it - Stella and Gus - Duct Tape onto white card stock and then coloring it using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once the coloring was finished and the image layered, I added some baby brads then stamped a background on the card using the retired Stampin Up Itty Bitty Backgrounds in basic grey ink.  Instead of adding a ribbon or border for the middle, I pulled out my husband's roll of black duct tape and used that instead. Instead of ribbon at the top, I used some black twine instead.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day!

Butterflies In The Globe

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made for this week's Stella Says Sketch challenge.  For my card I printed off the Butterfly Snowglobe (not in new store yet) and colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once that was done, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges before layering and adding some turquoise baby brads.  I then stamped the background pieces and card using Flight Of The Butterfly images from Stampin Up!.  After the background pieces were stamped and sponged with matching inks, I added the butterfly globe before embellishing using round epoxy stickers to highlight the bubbles and dew drops.

Thank for stopping by today.  Have a great day and great rest of your weekend.

I'm a winner!

Hello everyone.  Just saw I was chosen randomly for winning the Stella Says Sketch #508 over at Catch the Bug for Bugaboo Digital Stamps.  What an awesome way to make my Sunday.  Thanks to the Bugaboo Design Team.

Fake Plants

If you are looking for my Testicles and Tires post, please scroll down one posting. Thank you.

Second post for me today.  Now since I couldn't sleep the night before due to pain again, I decided to try and get my mind focused on something else besides all the pain and try to make a card for the Stella Says Sketch #508 challenge.  So I pulled Grumpy Gertrude and her fake plants image from Bugaboo Digital Stamps and got to work.

After coloring the image using prismacolor and copic markers, I stippled some tumbled glass & brushed corduroy distress inks around the image then layered. Now I had to take a bit of creative license here since the sketch had layered circles and my image was printed a tad too large for my circle punches to fit on the card.  So I decided to make a "squaricle" (a square circle) using my corner rounder punch instead.  For the background I stamped the oak leaf from SU Lovely As A Tree.  I added a distressed die cut daisy in one corner and the saying in another corner.  I'm happy with how this card turn out considering the amount of pain I was in.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great weekend!
