Birthday Bubbles

Good Morning

Meet just one of the newly released stencils for June from A Colorful Life Designs called:

AIRY BUBBLES

Who wouldn't love some bubbles for their birthday!!

This is how I created a simple card.

• I began by placing the Airy Bubbles stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink and some Picked Raspberry DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and cut the circle aperture from the middle part of my cardstock. 
• Using the same die, I cut it with some scraps of pink and orange cardstock and set aside.
• I die cut the sentiment once with some white and then 4 times with the black.  I glued them together, stacking them up and off setting the black to help highlight the sentiment.
• I glued my card front panel onto a piece of orange cardstock and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I fit the orange and pink cardstock pieces back into place inside the aperture and then glued the sentiment over that.
• To finish my card off, I added 3 black gems around the sentiment.

Today's card is a combination of 2 new for JUNE stencils called:

AIRY BUBBLES and PATTERNED NOISE

Here's what I did to create this card.

• I placed the AIRY BUBBLES stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Peacock Feathers and some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted the stencil off and placed the PATTERNED NOISE stencil over the bubbles and inked just in some areas around the bubbles with the same colours.
• I took a scrap piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some of the same inks, then used that to die cut the sentiment.
• I die cut the sentiment 4 times with more white cardstock and glued them all together, stacking them and then glued the inked one on the top.  I did offset them a a bit to help it show up better against the background.
• I glued my card front panel onto a piece of pale green cardstock and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I glued the sentiment across the front and added 2 silver gems on either side of the sentiment to finish off my card.

I have to begin by saying how fun this card was to make.

Meet the new for JUNE stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

AIRY BUBBLES

This is how I created my card.

• I began by first cutting a piece of white cardstock and I die cut 3 Dot Circles of different sizes, along the outside edges of my cardstock.
• Next, I masked around the circles and then placed Airy Bubbles stencil over it and inked with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
• I moved the masks to the other side of the circles and then inked again with some Wilted Violet DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and all the masks and placed the piece into my Misti to stamp the Grid first and then the sentiment across the middle of the panel.
• I glued my finished card front panel onto a piece of white, then purple cardstock and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I added 3 black gems around the sentiment to finish my card off.

Welcome

Today's card is featuring the new release from A Colorful Life Designs called

Star Ring

I used the stencil in a different way to get the fun and festive look.

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

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and instead of centering the Star Ring stencil over my card panel, I just put a corner of the it on.  
• I started inking with the lightest colour, wiped off the stencil and moved onto the other colours. I continually moved the stencil into different areas of my card front until it was all inked up. Here are the colours I used:  Fossilized Amber, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide inks.
• Next, I die cut the sentiment from a piece of purple cardstock and then I die cut the shadow for the sentiment right from the stenciled card front.  I glued those 2 together and set aside to dry.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto another piece of purple cardstock and then onto an A2 card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment back into place over the front.

Mr. Bubble

Good Morning.

Just a fun card celebrating summer's arrival.

I used a new for June stencil called Mr. Bubble and a new stamp set called Chasing the Sun from A Colorful Life Designs.

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

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Mr. Bubble stencil over that. I inked it up with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving the stencil in place, I inked the largest bubble with some Uncharted Mariner DOX to bring the highlight to where I wanted to put the little fish.  Without inking my blending brush again, I added some ink in other areas too for some shadowing.
• Again, leaving the stencil in place, I stamped over it with a splatter stamp using more of the Uncharted Mariner ink. It really added to the look of the bubbles.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I stamped the fish, die cut it out and coloured it with my Copic markers.  I covered the goggles the fish is wearing with some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to make them look glassy.
• I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from the new Chasing the Sun set in the darker area of my card panel.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto an A2 card panel then used some foam tape to pop up the fish over the sentiment.

Another simple CAS card I made using another new release called Bubble Release from A Colorful Life Designs.  The release this month is a sea/ocean theme but I thought these bubbles worked well as a background for the flowers.

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

• I began by cutting a white cardstock square that was 3 3/4" big.  
• I place the Bubble Release stencil onto my cardstock panel and inked it up just in the corner where I knew I wanted the flowers with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.  To add some more shape to the bubbles, I then rubbed on just a hint of Rustic Wilderness DOX ink.  It gave a really nice look to the bubbles.
• I removed the stencil and placed the piece into my Misti to stamp the flowers, leaving enough room for the sentiment.
• I splattered just over the flowers with my black Posca pen.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of green cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
• I added 3 black gems along the stem of the outside flower to finish my card.

Snowy New Year

Hello and Welcome

I need an intervention....put down that snowflake stamp!!!

I love it because it's big, easy to use to fill a card front and I love the look of it.

I told myself, 'embrace the things that make you happy'.  This snowflake and bubbles...yes please!

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

• I decided to make a bunch of 'bubble' backgrounds.  I did this one using some Blueprint Sketch and some Peacock Feathers Distress re-inkers.  Simple put some water in a cup, add some dish soap then drop in some ink.  Mix well then blow some bubbles with a straw and catch them onto the paper.  So fun.  *when I bubble paint, I add one colour of re-inkers to my soap mixture, then instead of dumping that out after a few backgrounds are made, I just continue to add different colours to the same mixture to create different bkg.*

• When the background was totally dry, I placed the panel into my Misti, inked up the snowflake with some Versamark ink and pressed it onto my panel.  I added some white embossing powder and heat set it.  
• I left the piece in my Misti and stamped the sentiment with some black Versafine Clair and clear heat embossed that to help it pop against the background.
• I took my white Posca pen and added splatters all over the panel to give it a really snowy look.
• I mounted the panel onto a heavy white card base and added a black gem to the center of my snowflake.
