Special Delivery

Welcome

Today's card features 2 of the new releases called Delivery and Dream Stars from A Colorful Life Designs.  They are just perfect for creating some fun baby cards.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed the Delivery stencil over my paper.  
• I inked it up with some Peacock Feathers and some Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink.
• When I was happy with the inking, I die cut it out using a circle die.
• I placed the circle into my Misti and stamped the sentiment just under the stork with some black ink. I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• Using the Dream Stars stencil, I inked that up onto another piece of white cardstock using the same colours as mentioned above.
• I glued the stenciled stars panel onto an A2 card base, then popped the stork over that.

Here are the stencils I used:

Happy Halloween

Welcome

Today, I am playing along with a Clean and Simple challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.

The theme is Halloween.

So, here's what I did to create my card.  

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.
• I positioned the Mid Century Shadow stencil over my card panel, then laid the Pumpkin Patch stencil over that.
• I inked over the pumpkins with some Mustard Seed and some Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide ink, filling in the first area at top.
• I moved the pumpkin stencil down and then continued to ink the next 2 areas the same way.
• I removed the pumpkins and inked the bottom area that I wanted to use for my sentiment.
• Leaving the Shadow stencil in place, I went back with some Black Soot DOX ink and added that just along the bottom edges of the panels.
• I removed the stencil and stamped the bats to the side and the sentiment in the bottom section.
• I glued it onto a piece of orange cardstock, then onto a white A2 size card base.

Oh Baby

Hello and Welcome

 This month we are celebrating Babies with lots of new and fun stencils.

The one I used for my card today is called Dream Stars from A Colorful Life Designs.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with the background.  As I have mentioned in previous posts, I love using 'bleeding tissue paper' to make an easy background.  I bought it on Amazon, reasonably priced and you get a lot.  I cut squares of the tissue, laid them onto a piece of white cardstock, then sprayed with a good amount of water and let dry.
• It takes a while for the panel to dry so the ink has a chance to transfer to the paper.

Here's what the tissue on the cardstock looks like.

• When dry, I removed all the piece of tissue. If you still have areas that are not inked and don't want them to be white, repeat the process with new pieces of tissue.
• I placed the dry panel onto my Make Art Station and rubbed over it with my anti-static bag, then laid the Dream Stars stencil over that.  
• Using some pressure, I pressed my Versamark pad over the stencil, trying to get into all the open areas.  
• I sprinkled white embossing powder over the stars and heat embossed.  
• Some of the stars needed a bit of a touch-up, so I did that with a Versamark pen, added more white eb powder and heated again.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I die cut the sentiment from some orange cardstock and the outline in some white, then glued those together.
• I glued the finished panel onto another piece of orange cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
• I pop dot mounted the sentiment into the middle of the panel.
