I had fun coloring Whiff of Joy’s Girl and a Lamb image. The image was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. It was cut with a Petite Oval Nestabilities die and colored with Copic Markers (Skin: E50, E51, E53, Hair: E15, E19, E18, Skirt and Shoes: E42, E43, E44, shirt: R05, R08, R29, Socks: Y11, Y15, Y17, YR14, R08, Flowers: Y11, Y15, Y17, YR04, YR07, Ground: YG03, YG17, YG63, YG67, E33, W3, W5, Lamb Face: YR000, YR00, Lamb: BV20, BV23, Sky, B000, B0000).

The image was adhered to a piece of Basic Black cardstock was cut and embossed with a Petite Scallop Oval Nestabilities die. The edges of the image layer were paper pierced.

Two 5″ long strips of white cardstock were cut with the small scallop Die-namics Border and adhered to each side of a 2 3/4″ x5″ strip of Material Girl Cosmo Cricket paper. The strip was adhered to 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of paper from the same paper pack. The layers were stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of black cardstock.

May Arts Gingham Ribbon was tied around the horizontal strip and topped with a Making Memories brad, that had been colored with Copic Marker E79.

The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy’s Magical Wishes. It was stamped on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with the retired Spellbinders Five in One Tag die in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The tag was airbrushed with Copic Marker B000 before it was tied to the brad with Silver Curling Ribbon.

The card was finished off with Silver Kaisercraft Rhinestones on the tag and a Recollections Rhinestone swirl above the bow.

I created this card as a submission for the Norwegian magazine Ett Trykk. I used one of the images from the June Stamp Kit- Fun in the Sun. I stamped her twice in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, once on Neenah Solar White cardstock, once on Whiff of Joy Patterned Paper Fruehlingserwachen.

The dress of the image on the patterned paper was colored with Copic Markers (BG72, BG75 and BG78), cut out and paper pieced to the main image, which was colored with Copic Markers (Skin: E000, E01, E02, Hair: E97, E99, E19, Shirt: YG01, YG03, YR15, YR14, E99, Shoes: YG01, YG03, Book: E41, E42, E43). The main image was cut out as well.

A piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock turned into a frame by cutting and embossing it with Classic Circle and Lacey Circle Nestabilities dies. Another piece of the Paper Fruehlingserwachen was adhered behind it. The image was adhered to the frame with dimensionals.

The edges of a 1 3/4″ x 4″ strip of Fruehlingserwachen paper were slightly sanded and adhered to a 4″ square of the same paper pack. White Melissa Frances Lace was adhered underneath the strip before the layers were stitched to a 4 3/16″ square of Whisper White cardstock. Next everything was adhered to a 4 1/2″ square of textured Kraft cardstock.

I dyed some off-white seam binding with Frayed Burlap Distress Re-inker and water and tied it into a bow with the Bow Easy. The sentiment is from the same stamp kit and was stamped on a tag that had been cut with a retired Spellbinders die. The tag was airbrushed with Copic Marker E42. A jump ring was added to the top of the tag and it was tied to the bow with embroidery floss and a My Mind’s Eye button. Three Silver Kaisercraft Rhinestones were adhered above the tag and a Recollections Rhinestone swirl was adhered to the upper right hand side.

The card front was adhered to an Easel card base, a 4 1/2″ x 9″ piece of textured Kraft cardstock, scored at 2 1/4″ and 4 1/2″. For the inside of the card the edges of a 1 3/4″ x 4″ piece of patterned paper were sanded, then adhered to a 4 1/4″ piece of White cardstock. More of the white lace was adhered on top of the paper strip and the edges were stitched. Three buttons were stitched to the lower right hand side of the layer before it was adhered to the card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Lori and I ordered some of the new Whiff of Joy stamps. Lori sent an image to Jenn and challenged us to post a card with them today. I used colors from this weeks Crazy 4 Challenges challenge and the layout from the current CPS sketch.

I stamped the I’m sorry Gnome in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a 2 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Neenah Kraft cardstock. The corners were rounded and the image was colored with Copic Markers (Shoes, jacket, hat: E33, E35, E37 Jacket, Socks, Grass: YG03, YG25, YG17 Shirt: BG01, BG02, BG05 Skin: E02, E04 Flowers: R21, R22, R24, Y38, YR18). Fine sparkle was added over the flowers with a clear Spica pen. The cardstock was sponged with Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint Distress inks before it was adhered to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Canyon Brown cardstock. The edges of the image layer were paper pierced.

A 4″ x 5 1/5″ piece of MME Stella & Rose Gertie paper piece was stitched to a 3 1/6″ bigger piece of Canyon brown cardstock. Three pieces from the same paper pack were stitched to the right hand side of the layers. The pink ones measuring 1 1/2″ x 2″, the aqua layer is a 2″ square. Cappuccino Twine was wrapped around the pieces. A Kraft piece of cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest of the Tag Trio dies was tied to the twin after a sentiment from Magical Wishes was stamped on it. Orange Kaisercraft Rhinestones on the tag as well as the image layer finish off this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.

Jenn, Lori and I used the Whiff of Joy’s Henry Christmas Bauble stamp with the same Echo Park paper as a friendly challenge between friends.

For my card I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on X-Press It! Blending card and colored it with Copic Markers (Mouse: E31, E33, E35, E37, E39, E02, E04, Ornament: Y38, YR23, YR24, G24, G28, YG25, Hat: R24, R27, R29, R39, C1, C3, Floor: E70, E71, W1, W3, N1, N3, Background: B21, B000, B0000).

It was cut out and embossed with Classic Circle Nestabilities. It was layered on a slightly bigger black cardstock circle and a scallop circle cut and embossed with Scallop Circle Nestabilities out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. The image was airbrushed with Copic Marker B000.

The card base is a 5″ x 10″ piece of Sour Apple cardstock folded in half. White crepe paper was folded and adhered under a 2″ x 4 1/2″ strip of Echo park paper. The strip was adhered to a 4 1/2″ square of Echo Park paper and stitched to a 4 11/16″ square of Basic Black cardstock. Ribbon from Gina K.’s newest TV stamp kit was adhered over the upper edge of the strip and a Recollection Rhinestone swirl was adhered to the top left corner before the image was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from Kraftin’ Kimmie’s Holiday Sentiment stamp set. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut and embossed with the smallest of the Petite Oval Nestabilities die. Three Silver Kaisercraft Rhinestones finish off the sentiment panel.

To finish off the card, I tied a bow with May Arts Gingham ribbon and topped it with a Basic Grey button. The bow was adhered to the upper left of the image.

I can’t wait to see what Jenn and Lori did with this image and paper. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles
