Get Well card featuring outline stickers and Copic shading

Y'all know how I do it with these Elizabeth Crafts outline stickers! Well today I have a special Copic coloring. The shading was achieved with one marker in each color and the colorless blender. On glitter paper the colorless blender really helps to achieve color blending rather than erasing mistakes. This is my fav because it looks like stained glass!

Supplies:

• outline stickers from Stamp on It
• Copics
• Fiskars
• memento ink
• basic grey cardstock
• Elizabeth Crafts microfine glitter (warm diamond)
• sequins from stash
• card base We R Memory Keepers - inked rose,

Thanks for stopping by! This CAS card makes my heart skip a beat!

Floral Encouragement Card - Outline stickers

I've got another outline sticker card for ya! We made a bunch for charity (if you're wondering why I have so many lately). My 10 year old daughter colored these flowers for me with Spectrum Noir. I used the glitter panel to make a card. I even pulled out a punch to give the edge a cute scallop. The look wasn't complete until I added sequins!

Supplies:

• outline stickers from Stamp On It
• Spectrum Noir
• Copics
• Tim Holtz sentiment stamp
• memento ink
• Elizabeth Crafts microfine glitter (warm diamond)
• border punch from EK Success
• sequins from stash
• card base We R Memory Keepers - inked rose

Hello butterfly card featuring Spectrum Noir, Copic Markers and Elizabeth Crafts outline stickers

Here's another card that my daughter and I both had a part in making. I created the glitter paper and affixed an Elizabeth crafts outline sticker. I then passed it to my daughter to color. I enjoyed how she experimented with color and color mixing on this butterfly. I then fussy cut the butterfly and affixed it to the card.

This was a new type of card for me. The background was rather busy but I broke it up by highlighting  a part of the background with a stamp and colored in with a Copic marker. It was cool to step out of the norm.

Supplies:

• Elizabeth Crafts outline stickers
• Spectrum Noir
• Copics
• Heidi Swapp
• memento ink
• Elizabeth Crafts microfine glitter (warm diamond)
• gold border and epoxy dots from my stash
• card base We R Memory Keepers - inked rose

Thanks for stopping by!

Bereavement Card featuring DCWV and Elizabeth Crafts

I love this floral outline image from Elizabeth Crafts. I created my own glitter paper using white cardstock, warm diamond glitter and Sookwang tape. The Copic-colored focal was mounted on black cardstock from Recollections and adhered t the left side of the card base.

The square, gate fold card base is from American Crafts (I think...) and the patterned layer is from Die Cuts With A View - Far East stack. Both sentiments, stamped in Versafine onyx black ink, are from The Stamps of Life.

Encouragement Card featuring Elizabeth Crafts Outline Stickers and Dylusions

She is the belle of the ball! It's an Elizabeth Crafts outline sticker colored with Copics! The card base and white layer are from Recollections and boy am I finding uses for those scraps. I heard odd numbers were great for cards to I put 7 sequins on this beauty. I am pretty sure "believe" is a stamp from My Pink stamper and the inside sentiment is from Dylusions. Love it!!

I created an ombre look on her dress with a popped up center portion of the bodice. Elizabeth Crafts provides optional layering elements to create dimension. I also attempted to give her two-toned hair. Do you like it?

Today I was inspired to the MAX by Kristina Werner! She created a fab Christmas card that I needed to try my hand at. Check out her version here on YouTube and here on her blog. 

I chose to make two versions using a digital stamp by Mo Manning – Little Elf Pipa and background stamps from Impression Obsession and Mowenta. Unlike Kristina, I fussy cut the digi and adhered it to the card front.

This was one of those labors of love that consumed me day and night. I am glad I spent the time on it. I made many mistakes like forgetting to prep the surface, ill stamping, heating the embossing powder too long but I still love the results. These are my fav cards of the hop.

Supplies:

·       digital stamp by Mo Manning – Little Elf Pipa

·       Epson WP-4530 Inkjet Printer

·       Stampendous – Fran’s Mixed Media White Paper

·       Tim Holtz Distress Ink – stormy sky, chipped sapphire, black soot, mini ink blending tools

·       Mowenta – background stamp (Christmas)

·       Impression Obsession – Christmas Text

·       Memento Luxe ink – Danube Blue

·       Wink of Stella – clear, white, blue, green, silver

·       Copics – 0, 110, Skin: E11, 13, 15, 18 R32 Outfit: R20, 24, 29, Shadow C3

·       Xyron 510

·       Ranger Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder – clear

·       Nicole Heat tool, Versamarker

·       Stampin’ Up! Embossing Buddy

·       Flower soft - polar white and Flower soft glue

·       Adhesive holographic paper – stash

·       My Pink Stamper – Biggie Christmas

·       Clear and Simple Stamps – Limited Edition: Joy

·       Worldwin – Doublemates cardstock: Glorious Green

·       Lawn Fawn – lawn ornaments – mixed sequins

Which do you like best????? 

mowenta

I am obsessed with two things... the sentiment by Clear and Simple Stamps is the words of the PHENOMENAL Maya Angelou and Memento Luxe ink – Danube Blue. You've got to get this ink! It comes in many colors and is just so rich, vibrant and yummy! It almost looks neon on these cards on top of the distress ink.
