You Rock

Welcome

Today's card was made for some very special friends who love the music world.

This was a fun one to put together.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock for my card panel and placed it into my Misti.  The stamp set I used has a variety of different inchies so I decided which ones I wanted to use.
• I started at the center and worked my way out, stamping the different images over the panel, trying to center them as best I could.
• When I was happy with all the stamping, I glued it onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I stamped the sentiment and used some foam tape to pop it over the background.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a lookj.

Meet today's card.

A very simple, one layer card I created using a stencil, my Distress Oxide inks and a couple of stamps.

I decided to create a one layer card as I haven't done one for so long....I'm also playing along with the DTGD Challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers.

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

• I cut my card base- A2 from some heavy white cardstock so my finished card was 5 1/2 x 4 1/4".  
• I wanted a nice white border around my image, so I placed the Marvelous Masks Deckle Rectangle over my paper, centering it.  I love using these masks, so simple to use and no more torn paper on the edges.  Over that I laid the Corner Rays stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and secured them on my Make Art Station with magnets.   
• Using my blender brushes, I blended on some Distress Oxide inks. (Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin)  When I was happy with the inking, I removed both masks and set them aside.
• I placed the card into my Misti and stamped the Rock Silhouette to one side, the the Something Incredible sentiment on the other side.
• That's it, done in no time at all

Hello and Welcome

Meet today's card.

An easy one to create using my Gelli Plate.

So many people seem to be intimidated by a gel plate, but honestly it couldn't be easier for creating fast and fun backgrounds.

I will walk you through it below.

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

• I cut my card front panel from a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I got out my Gelli Arts Plate, a brayer and some Distress Oxide inks....Blueprint Sketch, Broken China and Wilted Violet.
• I took the ink pads and pressed them directly onto my Gelli Plate, leaving a bit of space between the colours as not to contaminate my ink pads with the other colours.  
• Using a brayer, I rolled over the Gel plate to blend the colours. *be sure to have an extra piece of paper handy to roll off the excess ink from your brayer.  These often make wonderful backgrounds as well or can be used to die cut *
• Next, I place the Dot Circle Stencil from ACLD over my Gel plate and using my tweezers, I gently pushed the stencil onto the plate being sure to make good contact with the plate.
• I lifted off the stencil removing some of the ink from my plate, set it aside and rubbed my cardstock panel over my plate.  Voila, I had my background.
• I dried the ink completely....{DOX inks take a bit longer to dry so use a heat tool or just set aside for a bit.}  When dry, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the silhouette image from Impression Obsession and then the sentiment from Visible Image using some Versafine Clair ink.
• I mounted the inked panel onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Rockin' Birthday

Welcome

Meet today's card.

A really fun and easy one to create.  These two stamp sets work so great together.

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock cut for my front panel.  I positioned the Dot Circle Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over my panel, then I used my blending brush with some Peacock Feathers and some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks to stencil.  I applied the ink with varying pressure to help give it a feeling of motion as if the record was spinning.  
• I took another piece of cardstock and stamped the record and the turntable arm from the Vinyl Greetings set in my Misti.  I clear heat embossed it to give it a shiny look like an album would have.  I stamped the 'Happy Birthday to You' from that same set onto the center of the record with some red ink.
• I fussy cut out the record and the arm and set that aside.
• I placed the stenciled piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from the For the Record set along the bottom. 
• I pop dotted the record onto the center of my card, then added the turntable arm.
• I glued it all onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Here is the Dot Circle stencil I used.
