Sweet Blue Poppy

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's been a busy month with a class and I'm finally free to do some coloring.

I used the Color Hues colors that Carol chose - Cream and Blue and a NBUS stamp.

I've stamped with Archival ink onto hot press watercolor paper as it has a creamy color 

and colored with my Altenew watercolors.

When it was dry, I masked the flowers and leaves and lightly stamped script

in the background with Antique Linen Distress Ink.  It's the creamiest color I could find.

Then I splattered.  I was able to Breathe when I didn't ruin it!

The tearing was because I thought it would look good and not because there was

a splotch in that upper corner...this time.

Challenges:

Color Hues #83 - Cream and Blue

NBUS #60 - Never Before Used Schtuff

 

Card Recipe

Stamps:  Poppy DL (small) - Sweet Poppy, Scripted Backgrounds, Just Breathe (both Wplus9)

Ink:   Shadow Gray Archival, Versafine Onyx Black, Antique Linen (DI)

Christmas Ornaments

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Playing with a special stencil...

I used tape to block off areas that I didn't want inked (I'm very messy with my inking)

and did one color bow at a time.  I did the same thing for the ornaments.

The gold ornaments were inked with Encore Gold ink and heat embossed.

I added VersaMark through the stencil on the red ornament and bows.  Then I heat 

embossed them with clear powder to get the shine.

The greenery was sponged through a stencil made with a die.

The design was matted on a piece of matte gold foil leaving a thin frame

then placed on a piece of embossed cardstock.

This is a large stencil so my card is an A7 sized.

Challenges:

Christmas Kickstart #70 - Use a Stencil or Mask

Crazy is Our Fame Stencils is Our Game - ATG with stencil/option of Winter
