Sunrise Mountain Thank You

I'm still working on my stenciling and was happy to see the latest challenge at Daring Cardmakers asking us to make something using a stencil.
Layered stencils are absolutely stunning but they really require alot of patience to get things lined up just right. This stencil set is called Sunrise Mountain.

The best tool I've found is Pixie Spray from Thermoweb. It's a light tack adhesive that holds things in place for a crisp clean inked line.. no blurs.
The other thing I've found is that sticky notes are my friend. They're great at covering areas I've already inked keeping my hands from getting inky and making a mess.
Finally patience. If you have to use the same stencil twice and it gets washed in between make sure you wait for it to dry. Even a few waterdrops will make a mess of the work you've already done.

It's a bit of work sometimes on a layered stencil like this but WOW! So worth the effort!

Dinosaur Slimline

I hope you're having a great day! It's been hot and humid here lately so I'm keeping cool spending time indoors and keeping myself entertained with making.
Today I'm sharing a slimline card made with goodies from Pretty Pink Posh. It starts with the Slimline PeekaBoo cut from white cardstock. I reserved the little window cut outs and inked them with blue and green Distress Ink to create a scene.
I stamped a sentiment in the center window with Versafine Ink. I like how crisp and detailed it is, and because it's a pigment ink it won't bleed into the Distress ink panels.
I colored the Dinosaur Friends and Dinosaur Additions images with Copic Markers. The palm tree, leaves and other accessories make it easy to create scenes. The little details really make all the difference.
RAWR!! I hope your smiling!  I'm linking up to Try Stampin' on Tuesday where this time it's a sketch challenge!

Pink Peony


How about a little pretty in pink for today? I'm playing along at Passion For Markers Challenge where pink is just the thing!

My card starts with a pink cardstock panel that I added gold polka dots to. The Random Dots die is from Waffle Flower and I used my Spellbinders Glimmer to add the gold foil!
I topped the panel with a Radiating Diamond die cut. I added gold glitter paper behind the white die cut diamond.

The floral I used is the Waffle Flower Peony that I colored with Copic markers. My "cheat" for coloring is to ink each flower petal in a different shade of pink vs blending. I like the stained glass look. Did you know that Waffle Flower has a stamp set for all the birth month flowers?

I wish you cold see all that SHINE! There's lots of gold here.. even the die cut pre printed sentiment!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you find some time to play!

Spellbinders July 2022 Card Kit & Gold Foil Sale


Have you tried one of the Spellbinders club kits yet? A subscription for $38.50 a month provides a fabulous kit filled with LOTS of supplies to work with including a stamp and die set that you'll still have long after the other kit ingredients have been used up. Here's a peek at the July 2022 Card Making Club Kit.
The kit includes EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING. You get a pattern paper pad, die cut images, stickers, sequins, a stamp set, a die set, solid cardstock and even card bases, envelopes, double sided tape and foam dots.

This month the kit is a fantasy land of fairies, mermaids and unicorns. The prints are in shades of purple, pink and aqua and of course there's a touch of gold throughout.

There are gold foil accented papers, die cuts and chipboard. There's even a sheet of gold foil paper that you can die cut or layer for even more gold.

The mermaid comes with lots of underwater embellishments like shells, seaweed, an anchor and even a dolphin friend.

The fairies have stars and flowers to make an enchanted garden home, and the unicorns roam free.

Long after all your pretty papers and embellishments are gone you'll still be able to play because the kit also includes a stamp and a die set. The die this time includes mermaids and accents.
Sale!
I just wanted to mention that if you have a glimmer and love hot foil designs that Spellbinders is having a big sale. You can jump to the sale by clicking here to go to the Spellbinders blog.

Thanks for having a peek! I hope you like the cards and will give the Spellbinders Card Making Club Kit Subscription a try sometime. If you don't like a surprise you can order the kit after it's revealed on the first of every month. Have a GREAT DAY!
