Enjoy Your Day!

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday!

Today I have a card to share with you using the beautiful Happy Hydrangea from Technique Tuesday! I LOVE hydrangeas!

I began by cutting the hydrangea using the Happy Hydrangea Crafting Dies. I stamped the hydrangea using Happy Hydrangea and then colored them with Copic Markers.

The main panel was cut from white card stock and I inked the panel using Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink and Dusty Concord Distress Oxide Ink. I spritzed the panel with water and then with watered down white acrylic paint. Once dry, I added a strip of patterned paper and then added my hydrangeas, popping them up with Foam Tape. I stamped “Enjoy Your Day” using Versamark Ink and then heat embossed it. I finished off the card with a trio of enamel dots.

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!!

Happy Clucking Birthday!

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday!

I am so excited to share a card with you today using some AWESOME new products from Technique Tuesday!!  I have used three different new stamp sets and matching dies to create my card! I’ve used Chicken Family, Chicken Family Dies, Cheeky Chicken, Cheeky Chicken Dies, Funny Farm and Funny Farm Dies! So fun!

This card was SO much fun to create! I started by cutting panels of aqua and green card stock for the background for the “sky” and the “grass”. I cut the barn and fence from X-Press It Blending Card using the Funny Farm Dies and stamped them using Funny Farm. The running chicken (which I think is SO cute) was cut using the Cheeky Chicken Dies and stamped with Cheeky Chicken, and finally the other chicken and her baby chick were cut using the Chicken Family Dies and then stamped with Chicken Family.

I colored all of the images with Copic Markers, and then began assembling the scene. I trimmed a bit of the fence so that I could use part of the fence on either side of the barn. I popped the barn, chickens and chick up with Foam Tape for some dimension. The sentiment, “HAPPY CLUCKING BIRTHDAY” (hahahahaha) was stamped onto a panel of white card stock, trimmed down and then attached to the card with more Foam Tape.
