Moo-tiful Birthday

Hello there, I love this Simon Says Stamp Birthday Farm Animals stamp set! I think it is great for male cards in particular. I have already used the pig and the goat from the set, and now I thought I would use the cow.

 

 

I started off by die cutting a piece of white cardstock using the SSS Stitched Rectangle dies. The cow was then stamped on to this with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Copic Markers, adding a liberal amount of Glossy Accents to his nose.

 

I took an A2 card base made from SSS Soft Navy cardstock and then stamped the IO Diagonal Stripes Background stamp on to this, using Versamark ink. The image panel was then adhered on top using foam sheet.

Santa

Hello there, long time no see! I am back today with a card using the Simon Says Stamp Winter Characters Stamp & Die Set. This is one of the sets designed by Clearly Besotted for Simon's Stamptember event. It is available throughout the holiday season but then it will be gone, so if you haven't already got it and want it, please pick it up quickly!

I wanted to use the cute Santa on my card today so I stamped him out, coloured with Copic Markers and used the matching die to cut him out. I then took the LF Stitched Journaling Card die and cut this from white CS, made a snow bank for Santa to stand on (using a string from a balloon set!) and added Santa on top with foam tape. I then stamped the sentiment, from the SSS Holiday Hellos set, above him.

 

I then took some Bazzill Red Hots CardShoppe Cardstock and stamped it with the Impression Obsession Diagonal Stripes stamp using Versamark ink. I then liberally applied Iridescent Sparkle embossing powder and heat set. I added the Santa panel with more foam tape and then rounded the corners of the card with a Corner Chomper. Lastly I added some clear Wink of Stella to the white parts of Santa's jacket and hat and gold to his belt buckle.

I apologise for my absence the last few weeks. I am still struggling with my health, thankfully I will be seeing a specialist next week so hopefully I can get some answers to what is wrong. Until then, please bear with me in terms of any sort of schedule. Thank you to everyone that has left me get well messages too, they really mean a lot to me :) Thank you so much for visiting me today.

Quatrefoil Background

Hello there, today I am catching up on some Online Card Classes watercolor for card makers homework. I wanted to make a resist background so I first stamped the Impression Obsession Quatrefoil stamp on some watercolour cardstock with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white EP. I then went over the piece with watercolours in purple and pink hues. Once dried, I went over the piece with a clear WOS brush in the coloured parts.

 

I then adhered this to a white card base with foam tape. I die cut a SSS Tilted banner from white CS and stamped the sentiment from the CBS Lovely Labels set on top. The right side has been cut down and then added to the card with foam squares. I have finished off with some Doodlebug sequins and gems.
