Happy Surprises with a Stencil

 Hello and Happy Wednesday.  The weeks in September are flying by which got me thinking about the last hoorah for Summer.  Although I live in Florida, when the temperatures drop below 60 degrees at night, I am COLD and we are supposed to have cooler weather the next few days.

I wanted to create something with bright colors as I've been creating Autumn themed projects so I had a look through my stencils; which I seem to forget, and found a Feather Stencil.  Stencils are really making a comeback, so I proceeded to ink blend Worn Lipstick, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks over the stencil.


I placed the stencil so there would be a main focal and 2 half images.  To keep everything within a measured square, I taped the edges with low tack tape.  I splashed Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink mixed with water over the panel, cut a thin strip and heat embossed the sentiment, then placed clear sequins for a bit of sparkle.

I suppose this A2 card could be considered a Fall theme, who says Autumn has to be only Oranges, Brown, Yellows, Greens and Reds?

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Summer Pup

I'm back to share another Swap Card I created using the Summer Pup digital stamp by Bugaboo Stamps.  Since Summer officially begins this weekend, I thought it appropriate to color up this Puppy at the Beach, wearing his cool shades, equipped with his safety float and ready for a swim.  


This card measures A2 (4.25" x 5.5"), the designer papers are from the Pink & Main Summer Splash 6x6 paper pad and the focal image is colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  

I die cut the image, the Palm Trees and the sentiment with dies from my stash.  I doubled up the Palm Trees and the sentiment words for a bit of dimension and colored the Palm Trees with alcohol markers as well.  

For a finishing touch, I lightly inked around the focal image with Salty Ocean Distress Ink by Ranger.  Lastly, I added some Wink of Stella to the sentiment words and placed some Card Candy to complete this fun Summer card.  Another Swap done and dusted...time to work on another!

Thanks for visiting and until next time, Happy Crafting!
