Isn't this the cutest?! Simple images can make the most adorable cards. I went CAS on this one. The image is Love Vase, D12331; it was stamped with IO Black Ink and then colored with Copics. I die cut the panel out with the fun Crazy Stitched Die Set. A few black sequins and twine finish off the card.
Next up, this adorable little pup~
This mixed media card is full of texture. I started by adding texture to Dog With Heart, D12336, by coloring him using pointillism. After coloring with Copics, I fussy cut him out. He is mounted on a circle that was die cut with Wacky Stitched Circles Dies; the panel was stamped in a light grey ink with the fun XO Border Stamp. Stamped multiple times with the help of my MISTI, the stamp makes a great background. The sentiment is Valentine Wishes, D8566.
For the background panels, I started with a piece of kraft cs and embossed through a stencil with embossing paste that I tinted with brown ink. The panel was then die cut with the Crazy Stitched Die Set. The red panel was in my stash from a day of playing with Distress inks.
All of the January Impression Obsession Stamps are available now, HERE.

ReplyDeleteYour CAS love vase card is striking. That fluffy puppy would melt anyone's heart.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are wonderful. I love the first simple and bright card- that frame is cool! And the 2nd card is my favorite, first because of the adorable canine and then each layer of the card is so interesting and fun- I just love staring at it, and I pinned it on my Pinterest board right away for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThe way you colored the dog, with dots, looks just great. She is so so so sweet. I am going to try using dots when I color some animals...thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove you cards! The puppy is soooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteDarling vase image and design on the first card. The little pup so so sweet and you've coloured him beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI really like the first card with its CAS style & your colouring/blending is wonderful. The second card captured my heart as I am a dog lover to the "nth" degree. I like the additional look of mixed media & love that red background you made from distress inks to tie in with the red heart on the pups nose.
