Mistletoe Gnome Greetings

Well Christmas is fast approaching which means I need to get the Christmas cards done, so today I colored up the adorable Mistletoe Gnome from KLM Digital Designs.  I colored him with Copics, then fussy cut him out, placing him on the background I created with the Paper Rose stencil Stephanie, and the Distress inks Peacock Feathers and Speckled Egg.  The sentiment is an oldie from my stash that I stamped and then cut apart.

Fond Memories

2020 has been a difficult year, with Covid 19 encompassing the world, so many things had to be canceled or postponed.  Here in Canada, one of things that we are all missing is our annual carnivals and amusement parks.  This card says it all, Don't Worry, Be Happy next year will be better!! 

This is Balloon Gnome from KLM Digital Designs.  I printed the image onto Copic Xpress It cardstock, colored it with Copic markers, and then fussy cut it out.  To create the card background I used the following Distress Inks - Gathered Twigs, Ground Espresso, Black Soot, Carved Pumpkin, Abandoned Coral, Seedless Perserves - and finished it off with a Carnival die cut from Kindred Stamps.

Time for Adventure

A very happy Wednesday to you all!  It's time to showcase another great image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  This week it's Harley!

The image was stamped twice on to Copic Xpress It Card stock with Memento ink and then colored with Copics.  To create the patterned paper I used the amazing Sizzix 3D embossing folder called Gears, which after embossing I used Peacock Feathers, Rusty Hinge and Ground Espresso distress inks to add color.  The embossed paper was then cut with the My Favorite Things Die-namics Stitched Triple Peek-a-boo Window and Edge, and then I randomly placed parts of the stamped image in the opening created by the die.  The sentiment is also from High Hopes Rubber Stamps and can be found here.

Dragon Imagination

Welcome to another Wednesday and my card for One Crazy Stamper.  The design team divas are showcasing the wonderful new release "A Magical Day" from High Hopes Stamps, and when I first saw these cute dragons I just couldn't wait to color them!!

This is "Dragon Pals" have I stamped with Cement Grey Memento Ink on to Copic Xpress it cardstock and then colored with Copics.  The dots on the large dragon were done with a green gel pen, and I used a clear Wink of Stella brush on the wings of all three characters.  The sentiment is also from High Hopes Stamps and is available here.  I inked the sky with Tumbled Glass distress ink, the hills were done with Bundled Sage, and the castle was inked with Hickory Smoke distress ink.  The stencils were from My Favorite Things and Tim Holtz ( the stone work on the castle ), and the castle is a die from My Favorite Things.

Gnomes at Night

Welcome to One Crazy Stampers release of the new High Hopes "A Magical Day" images.  Each day for the last week the design team members have been sharing their products using images from the release, and today it's my turn!!

This adorable image is "3 Little Garden Gnomes" that I instantly fell in love with!!  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored it with Copics and added Prismacolor pencils for added depth and detail.  Each gnome hat received a touch of either Wink of Stella Gold, Sakura white glaze pen or Sakura Clear Star for added sparkle, and the crystal ball has hints of the white gel pen.  The image was then fussy cut and placed on the galaxy background I created with Lucky Clover, Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry and Black Soot distress inks.  For even more detail on the background I used the Sakura Glaze pen to add dots to represent stars!  The sentiment is also from the new release and is available here.

It's a Super Kind of Day!

I am working on perfecting the galaxy background and think I finally have it mastered!!  This super cute image is "You're Super" from My Favorite Things.

I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with MFT's hybrid Black Licorice ink, and then colored it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  After fussy cutting the image and the yellow burst I placed them on to the background that I created with distress inks and an older Memory Box die.

Who Let the Christmas Dogs Out?

I recently purchased this adorable set of dog images from Art Impressions stamps, and I just had to play with them immediately.  

Each image is colored with Copics, then fussy cut and placed on the backgrounds that I created with distress inks.  The addition of Stampendous Frantage Embossing Enamel helps create the look of falling snow on several of the cards.

Off to Great Places

Time to post another card that I actually completed last year, but never got around to actually showing here on my blog.  This image is a wonderful digital available from Saturated Canary.

 

The image was stamped on watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then painted with Distress inks.  After the coloring was completed, I used the Wonky Squares spellbinders dies to cut both the image and the patterned paper that are on the front of the card.  The tassel was made with embroidery thread to add a touch of dimension to the card.  Dp is from Moxie.

Shall We Dance

Terrific Tuesday time again for One Crazy Stamper, and in keeping with this month's theme of Love, I have stamped and colored up this great image from Art Impressions.

 

 

This is one of the Bird Brains stamps called Dancing Birdie and Scratch, which I colored with Copics, fussy cut and then placed on the card front with an Action Wobble to make them dance, wiggle and jive!!!  To create the card front, I randomly rubbed four different colors of distress inks (Aged Mahogany, Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade and Walnut Stain )  across a piece of watercolor paper, then spritzed with water to make the colors blend.  After drying the resulting wash with my heat gun, I then stamped the Aged Mahogany ink pad on to my splat mat, then spritzed the color with water to make the ink form into drops.  I then placed the original piece of blended colors over top of the droplets of color, to create the blotchy look.  To complete the look I stamped the Whimsy Stamps Into the Farm image with Versamark ink, sprinkled with brown embossing powder, and used the heat gun again.  The sentiment is from my stash.  This would be a great card for an anniversay or special day to celebrate Love.
