Birthday Wishes

JustRite's newest challenge is to create a card based on this color scheme.

Using the Topsy Turvy Cakes stamp set (CR-02230) I created this card.  I embossed the background with a Cuttlebug Embossing folder.

The cake was stamped with Black Memento Ink and colored with Copic Markers, then placed on oval die cuts which were edged with Copic Markers.  A Clear Spica Pen added some shimmer to the edges of the cake.

Hero Arts pearls were added to the flower centers on the cake as well as placed under the image.  The sentiment was stamped with Clearsnap's Donna Salazar Leather Inx and embossed with Leather Embossing Powder.

Supplies:

Pattern Paper: GCD Studios

Stamps: JustRite Topsy Turvy Cakes

Ink: Memento, Clearsnap

Pearls: Hero Arts

Markers: Copic Markers, Spica Pens

Embossing Folder: Cuttlebug

Dies: Spellbinders Ovals

You're A Great Friend

This is today's post at the Papertemptress. I am in love with the papers in the store and this Poison Ivory cardstock is amazing. It's heavy enough to create a card and perfect to hold ink and embossing really well.
Supplies:
Cardstock: thepapertemptress.com
Stamps: Hero Arts
Ink, Embossing Powder: Clearsnap
Twine: The Twinery

If Friends were flowers.....

Today I have a card to show you using some wonderful Spellbinders dies, an embossing folder, and Copic Markers.



Below is how each section of the image was colored.



Image 1 - I started by coloring the dress and the leggins with yellows, using Y15, Y13, and Y11. I used a touch of Y15 in the flowers in her hair.

Image 2 - I added yellow greens for the flower stems, leaves and the vines in her hair using YG17 and YG13.

Image 3 - I added yellow and yellow red to the sunflower, using Y38, Y35, and YR31. I then added some E37 to the center of the flower. I added a touch of Y38 to the hair flowers.

Image 4 - I added shades of blue to the under dress, bow and shoes using B95, B93, and B91.

Image 5 - I added some red to the hearts on the blue ribbon using R11. Then I colored her face and hands with Eo2, E01, and E0000.



Image 6 - I added shades of brown on her hair using E37, E35, and E33. I then cut out the image and used C1 on the edges.

Using Spellbinders dies, I cut a rectangle and a scalloped rectangle from Kraft cardstock. I then embossed each piece with a Cuttlebug Mesh Embossing Folder and lightly inked the edges with brown ink. I mounted the 2 die cut pieces together and added the finished image with foam adhesives.



The sentiment was stamp the sentiment on Kraft Cardstock with brown ink and embossed with clear embossing powder, then die cut it with a small Spellbinders die and added to the card front.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Market St Stamps Scor Pal

This is today's post at Scor-pal . I inked glossy cardstock by running ColorBox's CakeWalk Inkpad across the cardstock. Once I allowed it to dry, I stamped the sentiment on top with Black Mix'd Media Inx. The flowers were then stamped in the corners. This panel was then cut and matted with black cardstock.



Using Twinkling Watermark Ink, I stamped the flowers on cream cardstock and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Once I had the sentiment placed on this piece, I scored around it with my Scor-Pal and added brads to the flower centers before assembling my card.

Supplies:
Scoring Tool: Scor-Pal
Stamp: Market Street Stamps, Comforting Florals
Ink: Clearsnap Cakewalk Dye Ink, Stephanie Barnard Chocoate Ink, Twinkling Watermark Ink
Embossing Powder: Clearsnap Top Boss Clear
Brads: Basic Grey


For my next card, I cut cardstock 5 1/2" x 11" and scored it in half creating a top fold card. I scored 5 lines across the bottom of the card onto which I added butterflies which had been stamped and cut out.



The sentiment was stamped in Denim Inx and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, then die cut. It was added to the card with foam adhesives on top of blue and black die cut circles.



Supplies:
Scoring Tool: Scor-Pal
Stamp: Market Street Stamps, Believing Butterflies
Ink: Clearsnap Mix'd Media Inx - Denim
Embossing Powder: Clearsnap Top Boss Clear

Trees Backgrounder Stamp: After creating a top folding card, I used the Trees Backgrounder Stamp for the interior of the card. I die cut a circle on the front of the card which allowed the trees to show through.



I added some small punched butterfles to the trees so they appear to be in flight.



Using my Cricut Expression, I die cut the sentiment and added it to the bottom of the card.


Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Pattern paper: K&Co
Stamp: Cornish Heritage Farms
Ink: Clearsnap
Punch: Kreaxions
Die cuts: Spellbinders
Sentiment: Cricut Expression

For my next card I used Time to Stamp from the Rummage Bin which is an amazing stamp set with clocks and sentiments.

I created my own background paper by stamping the clocks on cream cardstock with ColorBox Cocoa Ink. I stamped an additional clock which I then die cut. Using ColorBox Red Barn Chalk Ink, I stamped "Time" on top of the clock and then stamped the sentiment on another piece of cardstock. After wrapping ribbon around the card, I attached the clock to it.

Love....

I found this gorgeous Recollections paper at Michaels, but it seemed a little plain. I colored the roses with Copic markers (V9, V6, V4 and RV99). Then I colored some of the leaves with BG99, BG96 and G94. I love the result!



I created a 5 1/2" square card from Bazzill Cream cardstock, then cut some Lavender cardstock slightly smaller. I cut the Recollections paper to 5" and amounted it on the card front.

Using Spellbinders Large Oval and Scalloped Oval, I die cut 2 pieces, then stamped a Justrite sentiment with ColorBox's Lavender Chalk Ink on top. This piece was added to the card front with foam adhesives.



The interior sentiment (MySentiments Exactly)was also stamped with ColorBox's Lavender Chalk Ink.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Stamp: Justrite Stampers

Just Because......

Challenge # 70 at Justrite is to create your own background paper with Justrite stamps. I used Botanical Butterflies to create my card, using the large butterfly to creating my background. To create the multi colored butterfly, I inked the butterfly with Clearsnap's Paint Box inks.



I stamped the sentiment with Clearsnap Black Mix'd Media Inx and embossed with Black Mix'd Media EP. The I "painted" the flowers with Siren Smooch Ink and the leaves with Green Apple Smooch Ink.



Tying a ribbon around the card, I attached the sentiment with pink Twine.
