Phil 4:8- Think About Such Things (One Layer Card) :-)

Hi Stampers!!

I had a chance to stamp today and decided to try one of the most difficult styles for me- a One Layer Card for the As You See It AYSI090 Challenge and chose to incorporate the Our Daily Bread Designs ODBDSLC241 Color Challenge as well as the Simon Wednesday “Make It Masculine” Challenge.  

Again, if you have not already done so, I hope you will find the time to visit the above sites to check out the wonderful Design Team samples as well as their fantastic galleries!

To create this card:

Score a piece of 5 ½” x 11” retired Natural Whites cardstock at 4 ¼” and fold in half to create the card base.

Ink the sentiment from the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Sentiment Collection 9 using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp onto the front of the card. 

 

Use a  piece of scrap paper or a sticky note to create a mask and ink the Lighthouse Collage (ODBD) stamp using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp onto the front of the card overlapping  part of the masked  image.

If needed, use a Faber-Castell® Black 2.0 Pitt Pen marker to darken some of the black areas.

To create the illusion of a night sky, apply Marina Mist Classic Ink with AquaPainter™ and while still moist, add Night of Navy Classic Ink (being careful not to have any of the ink spread onto the lighthouse).

Color the compass with Stampin’ Write markers- Tangerine Tango, Marina Mist, Night of Navy and Smoky Slate and add a bit of Tangerine Tango to the top of the lighthouse.

Create shadows with a Sahara Sand Stampin’ Write marker to finish off the card.

Quick, simple and the card is finished!

Stamp Sets:  Lighthouse Collage, Sentiment Collection 9 (both Our Daily Bread Designs)

Ink:  Stāz-On® Jet Black, Stampin’ Write Markers- Marina Mist, Night of Navy, Sahara  Sand, Smoky Slate, Tangerine Tango; Faber-Castell® Pitt Pen Black 2.0 Marker

Paper: Naturals White

Accessories: AquaPainter™, scrap paper for masking

Thanks again for taking the time to visit- have a wonderful weekend, my friends!

CAS April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hi Stampers! 

I had a chance to spend some time stamping this weekend- it is so relaxing! 

This Clean and Simple (CAS) card was created for the Our DailyBread Designs ODBDSLC235 “April Showers bring May Flowers” using the Splitcoastampers CC516 Color Challenge (see details here or gallery here) along with the FM206 “Singing in  the Rain”Challenge.

 I hope you will have a chance to visit and check out all of the wonderful Design projects and other entries at the above sites!

To create this card:

Ink the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Sentiments Collection #9 using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamped on Whisper White cardstock.

Ink the large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge with Melon Mambo Classic Ink and repeatedly stamp onto the panel.

Trim the panel and mount onto the Melon Mambo card base.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Spellbinders Umbrella Trio die to cut the umbrella from Whisper White cardstock.

Adhere the umbrella to the card panel and mount the umbrella interior panels using  Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Create the rolled flowers using Pink Pirouette and Melon Mambo cardstock using the 1 ¾” and 1 ¼” Scallop Circle Punches (punch the scallop circle, hand cut a wavy spiral from the outside of the scallop circle toward the center, use the retired Crimper Tool to distress a bit, roll up from the outside edge and adhere using Tombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive or a Hot Glue Gun).

Punch out the leaves from Wild Wasabi cardstock using the Bird Builder Punch, adhere the leaves behind the rolled flowers and add to the center of the umbrella die to finish off the card (again, I used a Hot Glue Gun since I had it on my desk and ready to go).  

Stamp Sets: Gorgeous Grunge, Sentiments #9 (ODBD)

Ink: Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink, Melon Mambo

Paper/Cardstock:  Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Wild Wasabi
