the SCACD Holiday Inspiration Day

Today is a special day at SCACD it is A Holiday Inspiration Day and several of us got together and thought we would use some of the amazing digital images Susana has in her store that the artist Carmen Medlin has done. The image I have is called Winter Guardian. When I seen this one I just fell in love with her but there are several I really love. Plus she is having a SALE going on right now. So stop by SCACD store and see what is going on. Susana also has a Blog with all kinds of inspiration on it.

Spellbinder grand nestabilities scalloped, I cut out several of the sizes. Folded them in half. The paper was from my stash. This is really not a card it opens up as you will see and you can hang it on the wall. I explain about the stickers below but I used 3 trees and 5 gifts and several of the stars.

I used some Brilliance ink color white around the edges.

I added some of Aleene’s true snow and a hold lot of Martha Steward crystal fine glitter. This is the project open up and the way it would look on the wall.

These are the copic markers I used to color the image.

Here are some little closer pictures of the image. I added pear pen color ice white to the background. Some flower gems in blue to the trees. Very tiny white pearls to the button of her dress. I do hope you can see that it is a little 3D, everything is raised. I colored my image first and them I added the crystal fine glitter until it was smooth and them colored a little over what I already colored.

These are the stickers I used, they are from Starform transport glitter #3216. I put the stickers on white card stock and cut them out. The gift packages I put on blue and a peach color and cut them out.

I hope you enjoyed my project. Hope you can stop and see some of the other projects. Have a wonderful day.

Cold Winter

Burrrrr, that sounds like a cold title. But it is time for Scrapy Land challenge#7 and the challenge this time is ANYTHING GOES, using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells so stop by and check out all the brands Srapy Land sales. The challenge started today and it ends December 17th. If you want stop by and see all the wonderful cards and projects the designers have created over at the blog. The first thing I did was create by background. I used Brilliance inks pads these are the colors yellow, orchid, beige, orange, 0live, ivy, sky blue, mediterranean blue.

Once I have my colors together I pounced out a 1 inch circle Eclipse paper (it is for masking) and place my sun/moon about where I wanted it to be. Them I always start with my real dark colors for the visional line you would see in the far background, I use a straight piece of paper, using the brilliance ink mediterranean blue for the far sky line and the ivy for the the ground line. You can also make your own sky  templates, just take a piece of paper and tier it across kind of up and down. Using your template you can create all kinds of different shapes in the shy. You do need to remember to take your Eclipse paper off and what I get is a big white spot so I try using some yellow, orange, sky blue to fill that in. 

Once I had added enough color to the shy, I picked out a couple of stamps, using them for the edges and I wanted to add some birds. Some times I add some white to the leaves that’s kind of nice because it give the leaves some detail. My stamps are from Stampsscapes, I love Stampscapes stamps they have some amazing ones that can help you create all kinds od scenes. So I want to us these die cuts Impression Obsession die079-U that is the Trees and Impression Obsession die0810-N deer. So if you would like to check at the store you can go here. 

I cut the trees out and I added some C01 to the open area on the birch trees and them I added some stickles star dust for some sparkle. No real reason why I cut the deer out in white, I guess I just wanted to. Added Aleene’s true snow on the ground area and some diamond dust from Twinklet’s. As you can see I did not do much with the inside. Just sponged around some of the edges.

I hope you have had a nice day. Here is Wisconsin today it was nice sunny day and we have no snow but I sure we will have some for Christmas. How you doing with you shopping? Did you go out on Black Friday? I stayed home with the grandkids and we made cookies. Found out yesterday Isaiah (grandson) will be coming home for Christmas this year, can you believe he is a junior in high school this year and I just found out that he has just got his 2 degree in black belt, I so proud of him. No girlfriends yet, I tell him keep it that way but he has been asked to some dance they have coming up that the girls ask the guys. Well have a nice evening. Take care and be safe. Oh I wanted to say if you have any questions let me know. I will do a tutorial on the Tent card for you several of you have asked.

Twisted Thursday cards

 

The Twisted Thursday challenge over at the Outlawz has started and I want to show you what I have created, I have to say I’m sorry (again) for not getting them out right away but we have had some not so good things happen and I really do not want to get into to it and I really do not think you want to be upset and I know that is what it will do. So we will talk about creating cards but this is a tag… I seen this image and I just fell in love with it, I think it is adorable it is one by Aurora Wings and it is called  Christmas Tree Spirit with a Gingerbread man. It was so much fun to color and add some decorations to it and to make it 3D. That is our Twist for this challenge WINTER SPARKLES AT CHRISTMAS. 

Not sure if you can see but I added Martha Steward train edger across the tag.  The paper I used is from DCWV winter solstice stack. I loved the blue so I added blue and diamond gems.

These are the copic markers I used to color the tree. My stickers are from EK Success.

 

Here is the close up od the image and I printed 3 of the little tree and cut all 3 out. Added a little star dust stickles and just a little snow.

These tags are so much fun. Have you seen the tags over at the Ellen Huston Blog they are having the 12 days of Christmas tags going on. I just love most of the tags, I really love Day 7 Paula Cheney, Day 9 Teri Anderson, Day 10 Sharon Harnist, Day 4 Kittie Caracciolo, oh my I could go on and on I guess I love all of them. Why do you check for yourself.

This is what is called a Tent card. The sentiment is called MERRY CHRISTMAS HOLLY #2 and the ornaments CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT #1  are from Stitchy Bear.

Everything is colored with Gelly Roll star pens and Wink of Stella pens.

Spellbinders standard circles large to cut the circle out. Memory box pine needle border die. Added some Aleene’s true snow. Flower punch 6 petal. This is how the tent card look from the sides.

Added 3 holly leafs and some seed beads in red to the ornaments.

Close up of the ornaments.

Punched out some tiny snow flakes and added them. My ribbon is from the Christmas section at Hobby Lobby.

The flower punch is the 6 petal one and added some seed beads color red to the center.

I cannot believe it is time again for Scrapy Land challenge #6, those two weeks went by so fast. So today is the start of a new challenge from Scrapy Land and the theme is to add texture plus use any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells at the store I have been posting this list so you can see all the different brands of dies that Scrapy Land carries. I hope this help you. The die cut I used is from  Spellbinder and it is called Branching out. You can find it here. You can win a $15.00 gift certificate to Scrapy Land!

The texture I added was Magic mesh in white and gold, Pink organdy ribbon and added a button on the top. Some pink fibers under the magic mesh. A line of pink roses.

Here is another view of how the card looks.

I have never made a card using the die cut as the card itself, I guess it worked pretty good and I used double sided paper it is from Heartfelt creations daphne stack. These are the copic markers used to color the image.

Here is the close up of the image. My images I used is the adorable PPink by Chrishanthis shop image and she is called “Pinky with flaffy Kitten”. I just love her images they are so darling. I added some sparkle to her wings.

Whispering Trees

Hello everyone it is time for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and for this week the Twist is “GIVE THANKS”. We have a sponsor for this month is Stitchy Bear and the image I’m using is called “WHISPERING TREES” and you can fine   

                                        

 

    

I printed out the image and the inks I used for the background are Marvy Matchable colors salvia blue, pale orange, sunshine, azure seas, green green. I punched out a 1 inch circle and put it where I wanted the sun to be. I used Eclipse paper for that. Love the paper it always works so good.

I used some thick paper and made a a line across the paper where I wanted to have the darkness horizon and from their I added the sunshine and a little of the peach. Once the sky was done I removed the circle and added more sunshine color.  

This card is really easy to make and I would of loved to have added something more to the inside and I think I will, but I have not been feeling very good so I have been taking it easy so the inside really has nothing special. I will chance that.

These darling tiny flower are from cherry lyn designs called tiny flower kit B376. They are so much fun to use.

Here is the close up of the scene. The butterfly is from Martha Steward. Almost forgot about that. Thanks for stopping by and I will get caught up so I will be by and see all your wonderful projects.
