A Sketch and Color Combo

One more for the Colour Me Challenge

And CAS(E) This Sketch

Stamped the leaves with Memento Bamboo and the flowers and sentiment with Memento Olive Grove.  These were my substitutions for the listed colors.  Cut the panels and adhered with repositional adhesive and stamped the leaves.  Cut the mat layers and pieced it all together.  The floral image is stamped by using Distress Markers then blending the colors with a clear Wink of Stella pen.  At first I stamped the sentiment directly on the panel, but it got lost, so stamped again and punched out with the word window punch and added a couple dots of Viva Decor Paper Pen in Kiwi.

Thanks for visiting!

Leprechaun Frog

Using the color combo from Colour Me - Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz

I used Gina K Inspirational Mosaic and colored some of the blocks with a Prismacolor marker.  The frog is from Imagenesce and his masked hat and sentiment are Studio G.  I stamped the masked frog and hat, colored him with Prismacolor markers then cut him out and added him to the card.

Thanks for dropping in!

Artsy Birthday

I came up with an artsy card for my artsy niece! It was inspired by the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.

Also playing in these challenges:

 Colour Me



And STAMPlorations

Added Distress Stain in Old Paper and Pumice Stone to misted watercolor paper and misted again to allow the colors to run a little. Dried with heat gun and added more Distress Stains in Peeled Paint and Broken China, then misted again. Heat gun again. Stamped the copper swipes and circle stains (Distress Inks). Added the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx after heat setting the copper.  All stamps used by STAMPlorations.

Dancing in the Rain

The background is an old embossing plate with raindrops using Core'dinations White Wash cardstock, sanded and Wink of Stella added to the raindrops to make them stand out.  The stamp set is an old SU set. Added some metallic gel pen to the dots made with a stencil and a clear glaze pen to the little heart pills and heart on the bandaid.
