A beautiful ink blended background is a perfect backdrop for the By the Numbers Die done in white cardstock.  The background was ink blended onto Bristol Smooth cardstock using Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral, and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Inks.  Using coordinating colors of Copic markers, the cake image (from Umpteenth Birthday) was colored and hand trimmed out.  The image was added with foam adhesive to a two inch band of vellum that was white heat embossed with one of the sentiments from the same set.  A few clear droplets were added for some shine.

I am featuring the adorable Sloane and Slater the Sloths stamp set that is part of the Animal House Collection from Technique Tuesday for July

How cute is he?  This sloth just cracks me up.  All smiling and lazy!  After Copic coloring, my sloth was die cut using the coordinating dies.  My sentiment was stamped at the bottom of a Distress Ink blended panel of cardstock.  I added my sloth with foam adhesive to the Distress Ink panel and this panel to a layer of black cardstock.  Easy peasy!

Technique Tuesday / June Release Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the June Technique Tuesday Blog Hop and Release!  

This release has something for everyone.  So make sure to visit the entire hop!

I am featuring the adorable Helen and Harry Hippo stamp set that is part of the Animal House Collection from Technique Tuesday for June.  

I created a simple background of ink blended Broken China Distress Ink and some splatters of the same color of ink.  A few tufts of green grass were added along the horizon I masked off.  The images were all Copic colored and die cut using the coordinating dies.  The hippo and birdies were all added with foam adhesive to create my scene with some depth since this is a one layer card.

Technique Tuesday / May Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the May Technique Tuesday Blog Hop and Release!  
This release has something for everyone.  So make sure to visit the entire hop!

I have a card to share using the Sending Roses stamp from the Greenhouse Society Collection.  I black heat embossed the rose image onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock.  Using various Distress Inks, the rose was colored in.  This is such a quick and easy way to add color!  For interest, I added black splatters of acrylic matte paint.

After die cutting, I added my rose image to a panel of polka dot vellum.  This was then added to a black front note card.  To finish the card, a few black gems were added for a touch of sparkle.

Technique Tuesday / Robbie the Raccoon

 

Hello!  

I have one more card from the March release from Technique Tuesday.  Are you familiar with the Animal House Stamps?  There is a whole category of them from Technique Tuesday!

This month is Robbie the Raccoon and ton of fun punny sentiments to pair with him!  I created a very simple scene and some ink blending using Distress Inks.  I created a grass border using the Threaded Crafting Dies and stamped his "paws" up the panel.  My images were Copic colored and die cut using the coordinating dies.  For a little whimsy, I added some stamped stars from an older stamp set.

Technique Tuesday / Love Lives Here

Hello!  

Technique Tuesday just released some amazing new stamps and dies for March.  One of these is the Love Home stamps and the adorable Build a Birdhouse Crafting Dies.  

These birdhouses......mixing and matching these are so much fun.  Change up the colors, layout, sentiment for a totally different look!  I created my birdhouses in some fun spring colors and colored my sentiment in the same coordinating Copics.  The birdhouses were added to an Essential Stitched Label with foam adhesive and the sentiment centered below.  Keeping this simple, I added my focal piece to a brown polka dot paper with foam adhesive.  

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

I grew up loving the smell of Peonies.  We had tons of them lining our fence.  So I was excited to see the newest addition to the Greenhouse Society at Technique Tuesday is Fresh Peonies.

I started by Copic coloring my Peony image with R20, R21, R22, R24, R27.  My leaves were done using G21, G28, and G46.  This is a gorgeous image and I can't wait to color it in some purples!  After diecutting the images, I added it at a diagonal atop some black cardstock strips.  I added the die cut word 'Friend' (comes with the Fresh Peonies Dies) and some black gems.

CASology / Guest Designer

 

Hello!

So honored to be creating alongside the team over at CASology which is one of my favorite CAS challenges!  This week's Cue Card made me long for summer, warm weather, and the ocean!  

I know creating a scene is a bit daunting to some.  I have a tip for you when you go to create a scene......keep it simple and scale down the dimensions.

Here I ink blended Dried Marigold and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks onto a trimmed panel.  Using the Waves on the Border Die from Technique Tuesday, I was able to pull in my waves using this awesome die.  I adhered my border to my inked panel and trimmed the sides.  I added some Copic colored fish from Olive the Octopus and a sentiment from Wendell the Whale.
