See The World

Hello Sweeties!

This weeks' challenge is

Favorite Color(s)

I adore bicycle theme projects so I thought what better color

for Claire's bicycle than BLUE since it's my all time favorite color.

I used Copic markers to color the image and blue to stamp 

my flourishes as well.

I hope you'll join us this week for our challenge!

Have a fabulous day today~

Watercolor Wings...

Hello and Happy Friday!!!  Lisa here with my take on this week's challenge of Things With Wings...

Supplies Used:

Curly Butterfly	With Sympathy	Diamonds & Pearls	Distress Ink Pad PEACOCK FEATHERS
Cracked Pistachio	Distress Ink Pad BROKEN CHINA

InLinkz.com

To create this card I started with a panel of watercolor cardstock.  I then heat embossed the butterfly before wetting the whole panel with water and a brush.  Next I "smooshed" some distress ink onto a craft mat and begian picking the colors up and dropping them in letting the water do the work.  Once I had covered all of the butterfly I went back over to make certain areas darker.  I then went in with some blue distress ink to cover the rest of the background.  When it was dry I then stamped the sentiment and added the strip of patterned paper down the side.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will have time to join in our challenge!
Happy Crafting!

More Gelli Fun

Using another background from the Gelli plate today for the Things with Wings challenge this week.

 I embossed the Piccolo bird cage with Rust Enamel EP, and the Piccolo bird with Royal Sterling.  The Piccolo butterflies are embossed in the centers with Rust, and I applied Honey Mustard 3D Enamel Gel to the wings, and sprinkled in a bit of the Royal Sterling EP, but just let it dry into the Enamel Gel.
 The flowers from the Spring Floral Stencil were done using Embossing Paste, and the greens are colored with Distress Markers, the flowers with acrylic paint.
 I added some doodling to finish off the card. The edge of the cardstock was outlined with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.
 It was very difficult to get a photo true to color.

The bookboard corner accent was heat embossed with Micro White powder and colored with the same Chameleon Pens that were used for the paper flower, and then glued to the card with Aleene's tacky glue.

spring

 

 

It is spring.

 

Butterflies are beginning to flutter about.

 

I chose to celebrate simply.

 

A grid paper. A soft pink floral paper, stamped with the

Large Butterfly Stamp

And simply embossed with brown powder and fussy cut.

 

Also featuring one of the new Piccolo items.

I carefully embossed one of the

Bold Floral Accents

Mossy Green Powder

And

Covered the flowers with

 

coral pearl enamel

 

Gluing them down and framing with no glass makes a simple and quick spring display.

 

Thinking of You - Elegance...

Hello!  Lisa here, and today I have a really elegant card showing a fun new technique with a stencil...

Supplies Used:

Enamel Powder 24k GOLD	Framed Handwritten Words Clear Stamp Set	Elegant Leaves SweetCuts Die	Art Stencil MOROCCAN TILE
Distress Ink Pad STORMY SKY	Distress Ink Pad BLACK SOOT	Pearl Pearls

InLinkz.com

To create the background on this card I started with patterned paper, taped a stencil down, pressed my Versamark ink pad for full coverage, removed stencil, and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I then went over the whole thing with two different distress inks and my blender.  I LOVE this look and when you hold it to the side the shine is perfect!  I then touched the card off with a little embossing and gold die cuts for a truly elegant touch.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
