Winged Masterpiece Take Two

This card was inspired by one that was created by Allisa Steinlicht. It also follows the parameters of The Three Room Studio Saturday Challenge (How lucky was that???). I used black cardstock as an outer mat, and white cardstock for the top mat. I ran a length of the Black Shimmer Trim across the middle of the card horizontally (I especially like how it already has adhesive on it). Then I got out my brand new Charcoal Shimmer Brush and created some shimmery splatters around the top of the card. The butterfly was created with black embossing powder and cut out afterwards. I glued down the body and the antennae to the top of the card and bent the wings back a bit for added dimension. I added a sentiment to the bottom right corner. I love the simplicity of this card!

Materials Used:

Stamps: Winged Masterpiece

Paper: White Daisy Cardstock, Black cardstock

Inks: Charcoal Shimmer Brush

Embossing: Versamark Ink Pad, Black Embossing Powder, heat tool

Adhesive: Tombow Permanent Adhesive, glue

Winged Masterpiece

 I had a chance to experiment with a technique I saw demonstrated by Melissa Johnson using alcohol markers on vellum. I used gold embossing powder on the dragonfly stamp and  I was pleased with how it turned out. So now I had a dragonfly, but what to do with it. 

Then I saw the card challenge at Heart 2 Heart Challenges where the colour challenge this week is gold and I knew just what to do. I used Distressed Oxides to create the background and matted it on a second background of gold. All it needed then was a few embellishments and it was done. 

Materials Used:

Paper: Daisy White Cardstock, Gold Glitter Paper

Ink: Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink, Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink, Fired Brick Distress Oxide

Adhesive: Tombow Permanent Adhesive,glue

Embossing Supplies: Princess Gold Embossing Powder, Versamark, heat tool

Embellishments: gems

Addicted to CAS Challenge #193

 The challenge at Addicted to CAS this week is shapes. I was going through my leftover paper stash (I know we all have those.) and I came across the circle print and the lightbulb went off.  I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I found the yellow background paper in the same stash. I decided to repeat the circle theme down the right side with the same yellow as the background. The Little Buddies animals fit perfectly into the white circles. I popped  all of the circles up with foam tape to add some dimension. 

Materials used:

Paper: yellow patterned paper, circle patterned paper, White Daisy Cardstock

Ink: dark brown ink, black ink

Stamps: Little Buddies

Adhesive: Tombow Permanent Adhesive, leftover foam squares

Alcohol Markers

Double Trouble Challenge #79 and Three Room Studio Saturday Challenge

 This card was created for the Double Trouble Challenge and Three Room Studio Saturday Challenge (how lucky was that????) This week’s challenge was to include something magical (unicorn, gnome, mermaid)  for the Double Trouble Challenge so I knew I had just the stamp for the challenge. It also allowed me to play with some Distressed Oxide Inks (Ink blending is the challenge at Three Room Studio Saturday) to create my background and frame. Then I thought, this might make a great shaker card and voila, another card completed. I then realized that by putting a frame around the card qualified the card for the Twisted Sister Challenge at Dies R Us Challenge #165.

Materials Used:

Cardstock: White Daisy Cardstock

Stamps: Make Waves - Scrapbooking

Adhesive & Acetate: Rectangle Window Shaker Foam & Acetate, Tombow Permanent Adhesive

Inks: Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink, Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink, Momento Black Ink

Markers: Alcohol Markers

Thin Cuts: Stitched Rectangle Frames
