Merry Christmas - Guest Designer - Krafty Chicks

Thursday February 11, 2021

Hello

This is week 2 that I am the guest designer over at

Krafty Chicks Designer

Our theme this week is

CHRISTMAS

So last month I was a winner on Word Art Wed. challenge blog and got to chose some stamps from Stamp Simply.. So this is one of the images I got. I couldn't wait to use it and being a guest designer over at Kraft Chicks and the theme being Christmas it made it the perfect time to use this fun stamp set. I first created my soft background using my dry wall mesh as a stencil and Ranger ink. I then stamped the wreath in brown memento ink. I then stamped the flowers. I colored with copics. I went over the center with glossy accents. I used Stampin up ink and stamped the sentiment. I finished with some Nuvo drops in white around the wreath.  I added to a piece of red card stock.

Hello again.. 

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Colour Crazy Challenge wk. 50

Our theme is ANYTHING GOES

Our sponsor this week is Dr. Digi's

I am using the fun image called Feet up and a cuppa.. I'd rather have coffee vs. tea but this of course is just a cup.. so in truth there is coffee in there and with my creamer it's about right on color..

I colored with copics and added the floor and wall.. I stamped the Stamp Simply sentiment with Stampin up ink. I added to another page I tore out of an old magazine.

May your cup - Day 6

 Wednesday November 11, 2020

today is Day 6 of the Fall / Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop

This is my card. I had this fern stamped (Simon Says) card stock I created a couple weeks ago and I hated it. The leaves were too dark on the lighter green. So I thought ok time to work with it. I took green Ranger inks and blended the background till I got a depth of color I liked. I then spritzed it with water. I patted it dry and then dried with my heat gun. I like the fuzzy look of the stamped ferns cause I had used dye ink instead of an ink that wouldn't run. It almost has a suede look to it now. I used some Christmas designer paper and used Stamp Simply die to cut the cup out. I used a gold card stock and Paper Trey ink die for the mat. The leaves in the cup are from Stampin up and using Stampin up ink. I stamped the Stamp Simply sentient and heat embossed. I used Quick Quote chalk ink to distress the edges.

Ok I dreamt about this card.  So I created it. I think this turned out just as my dream showed.

I used Mission Gold water colors and painted the background on watercolor paper. I then stamped the My favorite things sentiment and I didn't ink up the "chip" word and used Sugar Pea Designs "Latte" in place of the "chip".. I then used Paper Trey ink wood grain and Stampin Up ink and stamped over the sentiment. I then used scraps from Quick Quote and Stamp Simply die to create the coffee cup and used Ranger ink and colored a scrap and cut out the handle. I stamped the MFT seagull and colored it with copics. I stamped the Gerda Steiner coffee cup and colored with copics and used white gel pen to give dots. I fussy cut this out. I then added all to the watercolor piece... I love it and laughed as I was putting it all together.

Get well soon - Chicken soup - Bugaboo Free Friday

Friday March 22, 2019

 

Welcome to my blog.. Today is the perfect day to get a get well image over at Bugaboo.. Check out the design teams creations using this fun image over at Catch the bug.

 

 

This image is called "KC soup".. I automatically thought of doing a get well card because that is what I think of when I see chicken soup.. the chicken soup part comes with the image.  I added the get well soon which is by Stamp Simply. I colored the image with copics and used Lil inker stitch die.  I added this image to a Quick quote scrap. I added some silver sequins. I added some Nuvo glitter pen to the soup and spoon. this image would be simple to fussy cut out so you wouldn't have the chicken soup part.. or if your computer smart you can delete the words. I wouldn't know where to start or do it.. This could be a nice thank you for lunch card, in hot water - trouble card.. lets do lunch card..
