Pleasant Poppies

Posted on March 18, 2013 | 5 comments

CAS212The NOT so simple clean and simple card!  So today (as in all Mondays) is the clean and simple challenge on SCS.  You all know how I LOVE that challenge.  Today it was an inspiration picture from pintrest of this AWESOME cake that was black and gold and had poppies on it.  I immediately thought of this stamp.  I really should have stopped there.  I am absolutely NO GOOD at coloring and it takes me FOREVER!!!  Where I can usually whip out a CAS card in under 15 mins…the coloring along probably took me 1/2 hour.   But…it turned out cute so I thought I’d share.

The base of the card is Basic Black (like the cake).  I stamped the poppies using StazOn Jet Black on watercolor paper then used my Riding Hood Red, Lucky Limeade and More Mustard markers to color in along with a blender pen.  This is mounted on a piece of Riding Hood Red then onto the card base.  Next I stamped the greeting using Basic Black on More Mustard, cut into a banner and added to the card front.  I colored the pearls using my Gold Glimmer marker (makes them look Lucky Limeade in real life) then added to the card to finish it off.

Set(s): Pleasant Poppies, Sweet Essentials
Paper: Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Watercolor
Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Riding Hood Red, Lucky Limeade, More Mustard
Other: Blender Pen, Basic Pearls, Gold Glimmer Pen, Dimensionals

 

Until next time…HAPPY STAMPIN’!

TSSCHappy Monday everyone and happy Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge day!  Mary Jo once again has a GREAT sketch for us and I hope you can join the fun!

I ended up turning the sketch on the side so that I could use it with this shoe…how fun!  The base of the card is Very Vanilla and I added a strip of Soft Suede.  Next I took a piece of the Parker’s Pattern’s dsp, layered it onto Crumb Cake then to the card front.  Next I added a couple strips of another of the prints form the same pack.  I took another piece of Very Vanilla, layered onto Soft Suede, added some navy brads and added to the card front using dimensionals.  I stamped the shoe using Early Espresso on Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Not Quite Navy.  I cut out the Soft Suede Soul and Not Quite Navy argyle pieces, paper pieced the show and added to the card front using dimensionals.  I stamp the greeting using Early Espresso on Marina Mist, cut into a banner and added to the card front using dimensionals.
