Sweet Bird

 Good Morning! 

I love all things birds.  Including this adorable new die set from Spellbinders,  Little Chickadee. 

 

I love all of the detail on him.  I paired Little Chickadee with the Hemstitch Circle Dies and some retired Spellbinders dies.   Sentiment is from the new Just Wanted to Say Stamp Set.

Happy Father's Day

Hello!

It is Father's Day and I hope you are all giving the special men in your life some extra special love today.  A Happy Father's Day to my Dad, the best of the best.  You really are pretty amazing.  

I love this Tim Holtz Stamp Set, Bird Crazy.  I stamped him with Versafine Black Ink onto mixed media paper and painted him very loosely with my much loved Ken Oliver Colorbursts.  

He was fussy cut out and then paired with a mixed media background I had in my stash.  I used my Gel Press Plate and a rubber brayer, along with some craft store acrylic paints to make the print.  

I used the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches~

Colors are from Sunday Stamps~ 

A few black sequins finish the card.  Sentiment is from a retired SSS stamp set. 

Happy Father's Day, Dad!

Party Balloon Animal!

 Hello Friends!

It's been a while!  Between the end of the school year and going out of town for sick parents, there just has not been time to craft.  Plus, I have tons of house projects lined up for the summer.  Anyone else do this?? 

I finally snuck in some crafting this past weekend and played with Spellbinder's fabulous new birthday release!  The Birthday Celebration release has loads of stamps, dies, paper and embellies.  

I could not resist this adorable Balloon Party Animal.  I paired it with the Party Decor Dies (I just used the circles) and used a sentiment from the Birthday Unboxing Sentiments.  

The Balloon Animal is colored with Copics.  The card background was stenciled with some Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass using a Stamplorations stencil.  A few gems finish off the card.  

I am linking this card up to the Tic Tac Toe challenge.  I used Die Cut, Embellishment, Bright colors.

I am also linking up to Addicted to Stamps and More, Make Your Mark.  Happy 10th birthday ATSM!

My color inspiration comes from The Paper Players! 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful week!

Impression Obsession's Last Day!

 Hello and Happy Saturday All!

I have a floral Mother's Day card to share today, made with a slimline rubber stamp from IO Stamps.  Today is their last day to be able to purchase single rubber stamps-yes, they will be gone for good.  It is also the last day of their site wide 20% off Sale! grab your favorites while you can!

These flowers are from the Mixed Florals Slimline Stamp.  They were colored with Copics and then fussy cut out.  My background panel was done using Fossilized Amber Distress Ink and a Rectangle Stencil similar to this Set.   Sentiment is from the Altenew Stamp Set, Extra Special. 

And it would be my card if I did not use some SSS Moonshine Sequins on the card. 

I am linking up to Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, Wild and Wonderful and Krafty Chicks Challenge, Any Occasion.

One Last Slimline for Mom

 Hello and Happy Start to the Week!

I needed one more Prima doll Mother' Day card for a friend who wanted one for each of her daughters.  I needed a bit of inspiration so went with the color challenge at In(k)spire Me.  

I stamped the Prima doll in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I tried to not stamp the hair as I wanted to give this girl curly blond hair.  I added the hair with a Sakura Pigma Micron Pen.  Next, I chose some coordinating patterned papers and did some paper piecing.  The girl was colored with Copics, cut out and clothes were glued on.  

I decided to make a background using a stencil and distress inks.  Abandoned Coral and Worn Lipstick distress inks were rubbed across a lace patterned stencil and then the inked stencil was spritzed with water using the Tim Holtz Spritzer.  I then flipped the mixed media paper onto the inked stencil and rubbed.  I love the look I got.  

Using the IO Wacky Stitched Circle Dies, I die cut 3 different sized circles from the stenciled paper.  The sentiment, from the snss Precious Poppies Stamp Set, was stamped in Versafine Black Ink.  The doll was popped up on scrap cs and of course, some SSS Moonshine Sequins and some colored sequins were used.  

Thanks for visiting!
