CC101 July Bonus Challenge - Seasonal Distress Pallet

Winter

Inked a watercolor tag with the three inks in the Seasonal Distress Winter Pallet. Sprayed water to blend, then Spritzed and Flicked more water for a droplet effect. Traced the Snowman and words from a metal die... added white flock to the Snowman and Red Sticklers along with Platinum Stickers for accents. His carrot nose is Orange Sticklers.

I made sprays from the re-inkers in this Seasonal Distress line, and added Copper Perfect Pearls for a subtle shimmer effect for the background colors.  I then sprayed each color onto the craft mat, using a paint brush, I painted the flowers. The trim is gold foil tape.

Stretch Your Stamps OnLine Card Class, Day 11

Day 11
Reverse Stamps

I haven't given much thought to Reverse Stamps as I have always viewed them as dark, but after today's class... watch out!!!  I only have a few and this is the only big one I own. While it is not as detailed as the one demo'd in class, it did give me a chance to play around...

I used regular Crayola Pencils to color this, blending several colors

I used Copic Markers on this, blending several colors and also using the Blending Pen. I stamped this on textured card stock which gave a different backgound look

I used the Crayola Pencils again and decided to mix it up. I think the sunflowers look more like Gerbera Daisies now...

I  mounted each panel on CoreOrdinations 4x6 Paper that I embossed with various folders. Wanting to keep the dark tone going, I then applied each to black card stock. Since I choose black, I put a tag inside each card for a hand written note.

Sorry about this blurry pic, but you get the idea...

Border Stamps:

Dylusions sprays meet CTMH Sentiments!!!

I sprayed white card stock with Dylusions Spray Inks, used a stencil which I sprayed with water to remove some of the ink leaving a subtle pattern in the background.  Stamped 4 Dyan Reaveley Border Stamps on the page. I used 4 sentiment stamps from CTMH to create the message.  Distress Markers for coloring and White gel pen for all the highlighting...

Card #2

Organic Repeat Stamping and Blender Pen Coloring

Repeatedly stamped the sunflower stamp with Distress Scattered Straw Ink Pad. Used an H2O blending Pen to blend the colors. I smudged some Scattered Straw onto my kraft sheet to add more color and for shading. Using a label stamp, i embossed in white and added the sentiment in white also. Punched two holes, wrapped bakers twine around card and tied into bow.

To finish the front of the card, I scored every 1/4 on an angle half way down the card, but not on the sunflowers, to give the appearance of them being in front.

Day #9

Embossing on Patterned Paper:

I embossed with copper embossing powered,  three houses on three different patterned papers. I used pewter embossing powered for the street light on patterned paper that had gold bursts which I used inside the top bulb on the lamp post. I laid out the houses using a different level for each one. Before I adhered them, I stamped the trees, colored with Copic pens, using the blending pen to soften the colors. I used Distress Pens on the mailbox. The birdies are colored with Copic also.

I stamped the background of the sentiment on white card stock, then added part of the sentiment  on top. The rest of the sentiment is inside.

Day #7

Stamping On Glitter:

Using double sided tape, I adhered one side to white card stock, the other I sprinkled with white glitter, used the flat edge of a one folder to burnish the glitter for adhesion. Stamped the sentiment and the flower design. I then cut  a window on the front, embossed black CoreOdination paper, sanded it and adhered it to the flaps created.  I extended the size of a label stamp by inking only the top and sides, stamping, then inking the bottom and sides, matching up the sides for an extending label creating a border around the opening on the front. I used tissue tape to line the inside of this border. I then glued the flaps open showing the inside message. Added a round paper clip on each side for embellishment.

I mounted the glitter sentiment to black paper, did the same technique with another stamp to extend it for a border around the glitter.

I used Sticklers to highlight the black dots on the front of the card, the inside dots and the heart
