Another Slimline for Mom

 Hello All!  

I am so enjoying these Prima dolls.  It has been a while since I used them.  I have been making Mother's Day cards for a friend at work for her 3 daughters.  I have already made the first card- HERE- and today I am sharing card number two.  

The Prima image is colored with Copics and the clothing is paper pieced and shaded with Copics.  I used my favorite slimeline die, Circle Kaleidoscope Slimline Die,  for the background and added an ombre panel behind it.  For the ombre panel, I started with a piece of aqua colored cs and then sponged Pine Needles Distress Ink at the bottom of the panel and added Peacock Feathers Distress Ink above that.  The center circle is embellished with a wreath from the Cameo Etched Die Set from Spellbinders.  Enabler Alert!  This die set is one of many that are currently on sale/clearance!   

I found some tiny floral sequins in my stash that perfectly matched the aqua cs so I added them to the wreath.  The sentiment is from the Altenew Extra Special Stamp Set.  The girl is popped up on some scrap cs and adhered to the card.    I finished the card off with my usual, SSS Moonshine Sequins.  

I used the sketch from MFT.  

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Resurrection Day to you!

Unplug

 Hello, Hello! 

I have a simple card to share using this awesome image from IO Stamps.  I lean towards industrial design style so this stamp really spoke to me.  The stamp is Hanging Lights. 

Using my MISTI, I 'stretched' the image by masking off the top portion of the panel and stamping the bottom portion with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I first determined the placement of the sentiment, then I stamped the image on the bottom portion of the panel.   Next, I sponged Fossilized Amber Distress Ink around the bulbs.  Then I put the panel back in the MISTI and remasked and stamped with Versafine Black Ink.  

The sentiment, Unplug, was then placed in the MISTI and stamped in Versafine Black Ink.  The final step was to mask off the sentiment and lower portion of the panel and then stamp the top portion of the stamp in Versafine Black Ink.  I darked the centers of the bulbs with a Copic marker.  Once the ink was dry, I added Glossy Accents to each bulb.  SSS Moonshine sequins finish the card.  These are my Go To sequins.  

One more thing- ENABLER ALERT!!!Impression Obsession has a HUUUUGE sale going on right now as they are no longer going to be manufacturing individual rubber stamps.  So, this is the last chance you have to get these individual images.  At the end of the month, single stamps are GONE! They also have clear stamps and dies on clearance!  Check it out for some amazing buys!

A Slimline for Mom

 Hello, Hello! 

Still working on Mother's Day cards over here.  This time I used a fun Prima Stamp.  I love coloring people and these Prima dolls are some of my favorites. 

I stamped the girl on Neenah Solar White CS and then picked out a couple of patterned papers to paper piece onto the girl.  The rest of her is colored with Copics.  I did add some shading to the clothing with warm grey Copics.  

I was inspired by the sketch from Stick It Down.  

I sponged some Tattered Rose Distress Ink as well as some Orange Marmalade Distress Ink on a background panel.  After my first light layer of ink, I used a Stamplorations Stencil and deepened the color.  I added the panel to a card base and also added strips of paper down the left had side.  The girl is popped up on scrap cardstock.  

The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Black Ink and is from the snss Precious Poppies Stamp Set. A few SSS Moonshine sequins finish the card!

Flowers for Mom

  Hello and Happy April!  

The sketch at Fusion Card Challenge inspired me to make this Mom's Day card.  The image was giving me fits until I could 'see' it in the sketch.  

I started with this unique floral image from PinkFresh Studio from the set, Just Because. I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored the image with Copics.  Then the image sat on my desk for a while, lol. 

The sketch inspired me to use a circle die to trace a semi circle on the image panel and then fussy cut around it.  I scrounged through my stash of background panels and happened upon this monoprint that I had made using my Gel Press Printing Plate. I used cheap acrylic paint, a brayer and bubble wrap to make this print.  

 Once the background panel and the narrow strips of cs were adhered to the card base, I put the card in my MISTI and stamped the sentiment, which is from Altenew's Extra Special Stamp Set.  

I added sparkle with some SSS Moonshine Sequins.
