Happy Birthday

I can't remember the last time I did a one-layer card, but here's one now!  I hope you like it.  The Pistachio Pudding Balloon was stamped on another piece of Whisper White Cardstock and then die cut using the Balloon Framelits Dies and adhered using Dimensionals.  The Hello Honey balloon was stamped off first then applied to the card. 

Have a blessed week and thank you so much for your interest in my artwork.

Thanks

Can you see the subtle shading on the stamped image?  You can achieve it with our new Blendabilities.  The color is Pink Pirouette.  You get a set of 3 markers, one dark, one medium and one light.  Shading has always been intimidating to me, but it is not as hard I was making it out to be.

I hope you like it. 

It is Friday night and that means hockey!  We're winning right now so hopefully it will end that way!  Have a great weekend everyone.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Having a Whale of a Good Time

Yesterday I was watching Wyland on PBS, he's well known for his marine murals which led me to my card today.  I don't think I was even aware what inspired me till after I was done!  I decided to try CCMC345.  I knew that I wanted to use this paper from the Birthday Bash Collection and also wanted to add different colors that were not part of this collection.  Once I knew the colors, I started thinking about what the focal point would be and then the Whale Sizzlit came to me so I used Whisper White Cardstock to die cut it with.  It was a little too much white so I took my Sponge Dauber and started adding the colors that I had already decided on - Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy.  I then added Smoky Slate.  And then it hit me, I was being inspired by Wyland!  So fun!!!

#HappyBirthday

Hi everyone.  Today's share is another card from my Birthday Bliss Class which was 2 hours of stamping with friends and a lot of fun. 

This was a pretty simple and fast card to make, but I do want to point out one thing to you  The "Yay" balloon was first stamped in Night of Navy onto the card, then we stamped the same image in Bermuda Bay on another piece of Whisper White Cardstock, cut it out and layered it over the top of the Night of Navy balloon.  Can you see the 2 different colors in Yay balloon?  The sentiment was taken from another stamp in this set, but it also had an image with it, so we took our Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker and just colored the sentiment and because it is part of our line of Photopolymer Stamps (clear) you can see exactly where you are stamping it!

Celebrate

I just love the colors in our Birthday Bash DSP (Designer Series Paper).  An oh so Caribbean feel in this oh so cold weather, but Spring will be here soon.  Yay!

I would love to hear your thoughts. 

The image was stamped using Calypso Coral onto the Vellum Cardstock which we then cut out.  We then stamped the same image on Whisper White Cardstock in Crushed Curry and cut just the "Celebrate" portion from the cardstock & adhered it directly over the Calypso Coral "Celebrate" with Dimensionals (foam with double-sided adhesive) to give it a lift up which adds shadows and dimension.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by!

Hello There

This is the 2nd project we did in my class last night.  The paper that you see in Calypso Coral is from our Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper.  This white paper has a glossy white pattern which is perfect for coloring using a variety of techniques.  I used the sponging technique.  It's so easy and so pretty.  You take a sponge, dab it in your ink pad and then start rubbing it on your paper.

It is always fun to share my love of stamping with others.  Thanks girls!
