One Last Slimline for Mom

 Hello and Happy Start to the Week!

I needed one more Prima doll Mother' Day card for a friend who wanted one for each of her daughters.  I needed a bit of inspiration so went with the color challenge at In(k)spire Me.  

I stamped the Prima doll in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I tried to not stamp the hair as I wanted to give this girl curly blond hair.  I added the hair with a Sakura Pigma Micron Pen.  Next, I chose some coordinating patterned papers and did some paper piecing.  The girl was colored with Copics, cut out and clothes were glued on.  

I decided to make a background using a stencil and distress inks.  Abandoned Coral and Worn Lipstick distress inks were rubbed across a lace patterned stencil and then the inked stencil was spritzed with water using the Tim Holtz Spritzer.  I then flipped the mixed media paper onto the inked stencil and rubbed.  I love the look I got.  

Using the IO Wacky Stitched Circle Dies, I die cut 3 different sized circles from the stenciled paper.  The sentiment, from the snss Precious Poppies Stamp Set, was stamped in Versafine Black Ink.  The doll was popped up on scrap cs and of course, some SSS Moonshine Sequins and some colored sequins were used.  

Thanks for visiting!

 Hello! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.  

If you work for a school system or have kids in school, you know we are in the home stretch!  Life is getting busy as the days get warmer and longer.  The sun helps my mood and I am enjoying crafting again.  

Today I have a card using new Spellbinders dies.  

And then because I decided after I cleaned my glasses that the sentiment was fuzzy, I took the picture again!

I love the vintage flare these Pie Perfection dies have.  Gingham and doilies are the perfect compliment to these die sets.  Here I have used die sets from the Pie Perfection collection.  Sky View Pies Die Set is perfect for your favorite baker.  The adorable pie server die cut from silver mirrored cs, is from the Dish it Up Die Set. And last but not least, the yummy cherry is from the Serve A Slice Die Set.  

I used a stamp from IO Stamps for the background.  The stamp is aptly named Gingham Cover a Card. I paired the sentiment, Have a Super Sweet Day with the dessert dies.  The sentiment is from Divinity Designs. For the cherry pie, before I glued the lattice onto the cherry filling, I added some Glossy Accents to the red cs and then sprinkled clear glitter on it while it was still wet.  Some SSS Moonshine Sequins finish off the card.  

I used the sketch from Atlantic Hearts Challenge~

Another Slimline for Mom

 Hello All!  

I am so enjoying these Prima dolls.  It has been a while since I used them.  I have been making Mother's Day cards for a friend at work for her 3 daughters.  I have already made the first card- HERE- and today I am sharing card number two.  

The Prima image is colored with Copics and the clothing is paper pieced and shaded with Copics.  I used my favorite slimeline die, Circle Kaleidoscope Slimline Die,  for the background and added an ombre panel behind it.  For the ombre panel, I started with a piece of aqua colored cs and then sponged Pine Needles Distress Ink at the bottom of the panel and added Peacock Feathers Distress Ink above that.  The center circle is embellished with a wreath from the Cameo Etched Die Set from Spellbinders.  Enabler Alert!  This die set is one of many that are currently on sale/clearance!   

I found some tiny floral sequins in my stash that perfectly matched the aqua cs so I added them to the wreath.  The sentiment is from the Altenew Extra Special Stamp Set.  The girl is popped up on some scrap cs and adhered to the card.    I finished the card off with my usual, SSS Moonshine Sequins.  

I used the sketch from MFT.  

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Resurrection Day to you!

Unplug

 Hello, Hello! 

I have a simple card to share using this awesome image from IO Stamps.  I lean towards industrial design style so this stamp really spoke to me.  The stamp is Hanging Lights. 

Using my MISTI, I 'stretched' the image by masking off the top portion of the panel and stamping the bottom portion with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I first determined the placement of the sentiment, then I stamped the image on the bottom portion of the panel.   Next, I sponged Fossilized Amber Distress Ink around the bulbs.  Then I put the panel back in the MISTI and remasked and stamped with Versafine Black Ink.  

The sentiment, Unplug, was then placed in the MISTI and stamped in Versafine Black Ink.  The final step was to mask off the sentiment and lower portion of the panel and then stamp the top portion of the stamp in Versafine Black Ink.  I darked the centers of the bulbs with a Copic marker.  Once the ink was dry, I added Glossy Accents to each bulb.  SSS Moonshine sequins finish the card.  These are my Go To sequins.  

One more thing- ENABLER ALERT!!!Impression Obsession has a HUUUUGE sale going on right now as they are no longer going to be manufacturing individual rubber stamps.  So, this is the last chance you have to get these individual images.  At the end of the month, single stamps are GONE! They also have clear stamps and dies on clearance!  Check it out for some amazing buys!
