Mid month reminder at Creative with Stamps #17

Our theme is Boys to men..  masculine card

 

If you have time now is the perfect time to get those masculine cards done. Birthday, get well, thinking of you, anniversary.....

 

 

Well since I did a MAN card for the August 1st start of our challenge Boys to Men.. I chose to do a  BOYS card for the mid month reminder...

 I chose to use My Favorite Things stamps.. I first used Ranger inks and created the background colors. I did some water spots on the ink.. I then took the silver  Nuvo paste and Simon Says star stencil and created the stars.. I then stamped the images and colored with Copics.  I added some Spectrum Noir to different images. I added glossy accents to the rocket window and space suit helmet. I colored the sentiment paper with Night of Navy by Stampin Up and I embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder. This set is so cute. I love My Favorite Things stamps..

I hope I inspired you to create a Boys to Men card and play along at Creative with Stamps

Saturday June 10, 2017

 

So last Saturday my friend Karen and I went to the Scrapbook/card Expo a few towns over from us..

 

We took a class there from Art Anthology.. I like her style of card.. (she said she really doesn't make cards but for the class she did.. she does canvas mixed media art.. beautiful art pieces) In fact I should of taken a photo of the card we made but I did not make it into a card. I just pinned it to my Bulletin Board as the large flower that is on it will never make it in the mail and I just liked it too much so keeping it. Maybe some other time I will photo it..

 

We did have three cards to make but only got the one I am not showing 75% done. The other two just the water color inked. So this is one of them.. The background is sprays from Art Anthology which are beautiful and I used a couple teals, a yellow and a green. I just dried it and brought it home. So now it was hummm what will I create with this inked piece????

Well I bought one of her stencils and so I took my Nuvo paste in pink and silver and went all over the stencil then lifted it off.. WA-LA.. this is what I got. As it dried it got prettier and prettier... So I cut it down a little and added it to black card stock. I then used My Favorite Things YOU die and laid it out and heat embossed in white the sentiment and layered it over the YOU.. I added some Stampin up sequins/pearls..  Wow I hope you can see the shine and pretty colors behind.. This card is so pretty..

Now what will I do with the other card base???

I dont want to seem like - Aud Sentiments #180

Thursday May 18-29, 2017

 

Well it's time again for another challenge at Aud Sentiments #180  Our theme is ANYTHING GOES + SENTIMENT

 

Our sponsor for these next two weeks is IKE'S ART

 

 

This is my card using Alice Rabbit.. I had plans to go for an Alice and Wonderland looking card but after trying one time and not liking I went with this.  I used a Tim Holtz stencil and gold texture paste and did the clock background. When dried I took some Silver Nuvo paste and did the dots which is also a stencil. I then cut the card down and thought what will I do with that left side. I took some Washi tapes (there are 5) and added them. The red look too wide so I took a small strip from the cut off and added it down the center of the red. I colored the image with Copics and added some Prisma color pencils in different areas. I took a cute Dylusions sentiment and cut it apart and added it.  (my hubby said that sounds like me!! WHAT??!! ok maybe a little)  I hope you can head over to Aud Sentiments and get some inspiration from the DT.
