OLS - Peace Time

Greetings!

Today, I'm sharing a card for One Layer Simplicity 31 challenge - Back in Time.  It's back to the 60's ... I stamped a clock face masking the middle to leave space to stamp the peace symbol.  Then, I stamped a few flowers and hearts. The coloring was done with neon pink and orange Sharpie markers. For sparkle gem stones were added to the middle of the flowers. Using Sharpies and Micron markers the bottom border was created by hand by drawing three lines in pink, orange and black.  The bottom part of the border was hand scribbled to match the design of the peace symbol.

Hope you're having a fun day.

Muse - MFT - Birthday Hello

Hello Everyone,

Sharing my card for a couple of challenges:

Muse 182 - inspired by Anita's fun and colorful balloon card ...colors, balloons, birthday sentiment are the elements that I used on my card.

MFT - 2016 Card Design Superstar - used stencils cut from Balloon STAX dies to create the ink blended balloons.  The dies and stamp are MFT.


The 'birthday' part of the sentiment was cut from the balloon panel.  Then, 3 'birthday' cuts were made using black card stock.  The black pieces were glued together and placed in the negative opening.  The part cut from the balloon panel was glued on top of the black pieces for some dimension. For some sparkle 'birthday' was painted with a few coats of clear WOS and sequins with gem stones in the center of each were added.

Note - the card stock is not pink ... it is white IRL!!

Hope you're having a fun day.

Addicted to Stamps and More #210 - Photo Inspiration

My card was created using the photo inspiration from Addicted to Stamps and More.  Also, I used MFT Dies and Stamps that qualify it for the MFT Superstar Challenge.  Products' details follow.

I created the blue panel using three colors of blue Ranger Distress Inks on MFT Sno-Cone card stock. The next step was die-cutting using the MFT Stripe Cover-up Die. All the pieces were taped to a piece of paper, turned 90 degrees and cut again with the same die. The 'quilt' looking pieces were taped to paper and cut with a MFT Pierced Square Stax die. The same colors of blue Distress Ink plus yellow and bright pink were smooshed water colored onto white card stock and cut with a MFT Pierced Heart Stax die.  The one-word sentiment was stamped using MFT Label Tape stamp and MFT Hybrid Ink and cut with the MFT Label Tape die.  A few silver sequins and gems stones that match the blue tones were added (gem stones were added to the center of the sequins).

Wish you a pleasant day.

Marilyn

LIM - That Was So You of You

Greetings!

Sharing my card for the Less is More - Colours (those in Peacock's Feathers).  The flower was created by color blending with Distress Inks through a stencil.  The colors used: Seedless Preserves, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon, Cracked Pistachio. A mask on the stencil was used to concentrate the purple color in the center. The mask was removed then the blues and greens were blended on the rest of the flower.

Wish you a good day!

ATC - Give Thanks

Hello Everyone!

Sharing a card for Addicted to CAS with the code Harvest. I believe the colors used and the sentiment align well with Harvest. The flower was created using a stencil and color blending about five colors of Distress Inks. The flower panel was adhered to green embossed DP and then mounted at an angle onto a Kraft panel. The 'Give Thanks' sentiment and sequins with orange gemstones adhered to the centers complete the card.

Hope you're having a wonderful day.

MCV - Joy Peace Love

Greetings Everyone!

Today, I'm sharing a card for Muse: ChristmasVisions 60.  Kim is the Muse this week ... she provided a very festive holiday card. I wanted to play ... my stamp stash had almost no similar items, so I pretended ... a lot!! I told myself that the foliage stamp was a broad-leaf evergreen (laurel, for example) and used a couple of green colors of dye ink. For a cold morning 'frosty' look, a couple coats of clear WOS were applied. The red 'berries' are custom-colored gems adhered to the centers of gold sequins. The sentiment words and placement are similar. It was fun pretending!

Inspirations from Kim's card include green foliage, red 'berries', sentiment words stamped in black and placement of sentiment.

Hope you're having a great day!
