Rocking Out

 

Welcome

Today, I'm playing with this very fun stencil called Uneven Rotation from A Colorful Life Designs.

When I saw it, I thought of this stamp right away.

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

• I got out my Stencil Mat and laid the Uneven Rotation stencil over a piece of white cardstock.
• I inked it up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
• Next, I shifted the stencil slightly and inked it up with some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink.  I repeated that step one more time and inked with Shaded Lilac.
• I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the silhouette over the stenciled background.  I tried to center it to the circle as best I could.
• I stamped the sentiment over it near the top in my Misti.
• To assemble, I glued the finished panel onto a piece of coloured cardstock, then onto an A2 sized white card base.

Here is the stencil I used:

Meet today's card.

A masculine card with a simple CAS design.

I needed a card for my husband's birthday.  He is a huge music fan and loves attending concerts.  This image from IO works so perfectly for a masculine card and for anyone who loves concert going.

So onto my card.

I began by pulling out my Rectangle Mask from A Colorful Life Designs.  These masks have pretty much found a permanent spot on my desk and are so great for creating cards with a border. It sure saves time and I don't have to fuss around with my Post it Tape.

I placed the mask over my white card front and started sponging on some DOX inks being sure to keep the colour just to the left side.  I used a small sponge dabber to apply the ink and chose colours that complimented each other.  When I was happy with the coverage, I added some details using the Grunge Dots stencil and more DOX inks.

Next, I place the piece inside my Misti and add more details by stamping some Graffiti along the left edge.  I stamped the image by inking with black Memento then clear heat embossed to help make it pop against the colourful background.

I added the sentiment, removed the mask and mounted it onto some orange cardstock then onto a plain white card.

Good Morning.

Meet today's card inspired by the challenge at Splitcoast Stampers this morning; to create a card using your birthstone colour.  Fun, right?

Since my birthday is January 1st, (yes, I'm a New Year's baby) so my colour is Garnet.  For those of you that don't know, Garnet is a deep shade of red.

So onto my card.  I do love playing around with my Distress Oxide inks.  I did some acetate inking along the side of my card front using Fired Brick and Candied apple DOX ink.  To see a pictorial of this technique go HERE.

Next, I took out my Circles Make Circles stencil and added some stenciling along the side of my card using more of the Fired Brick.  Next I randomly inked up my Graffiti stamp and pressed that over the inked area just to add some more interest and texture.

I placed the piece inside my Misti and stamped the sentiment and the silhouette and clear heat embossed to help make them pop against the bkg.

I mounted the piece onto some black cardstock then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Rock On

Happy Saturday!

With so many birthdays coming up in the next few months, I was happy to have some time to play and created this masculine, collage style card.

I began by masking off a piece of white cardstock using some Post-It tape.  I first did some acetate inking in the background using just 2 colours of Distress Oxides; Peeled Paint and Bundled Sage, rubbed onto a piece of clear acetate.

I placed the piece inside my Misti, then stamped using the same colours and sponged along the edges to help define the main area.

The Rock Silhouette is a new one for me from Impression Obsession and I stamped that using some black Memento ink, then added the sentiment.

After I removed the tape for masking, I scored a line around the inked area as a frame.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
