Loves Rubberstamps Design Day

Well it's Saturday again, and I back with my card show casing another stamp set from Loves Rubberstamps store. It's called Rose Clock and it's from Stamp -it Australia. 

It's another 5"x 7" finished card size using bronze metallic paper for the base. I used the latest collection from Bo Bunny called 'Little Miss' which I adore. Then I stamped the rose clock using black memento ink onto shimmery white paper and coloured the image using Prismacolor pencils and odorless turpentine. Then ran it thru a Sizzix embossing folder called Frame Ornate Oval. I sponged Rose Coral Fluid Chalk over the raised embossed areas. I then used Cheery Lynn die called Lace Rose & Flourishes using pink metallic paper. I cut off the flourishes and used them on the right side of the card. I attached the rose to some Sookwang tape and used the following Glitter Ritz; Chartreuse, Sweet Basil for the leaves and Burgundy and Rose Copper for the rose. I cut out the lamppost using a die from La- La Land Crafts and green glitter paper. Again I attached some Sookwang tape to the lantern and applied some Glitter Ritz with the following colours; Yellow and Harvest Gold. I added some pink roses by Prima Marketing and some basic pearls as shown.

DDC # 16 - How Do You LAYER Up!!!

Okay I'm back with another design for Digi Darla's card challenge. This week's challenge is 'How do you LAYER Up! In this card I used 13 layers! So I started off using Early Espresso as my base which is 5"x 7" finished card size. From my stash I used the papers from the collection called 'My Darling' by Bo Bunny. I used 4 layers as the base before cutting out 3 layers using the Spellbinders ' Floral Oval' to lay my flower on. Even the flower was layered 3 times, it was printed out twice and coloured using the following Copic Markers; RV04, RV11, RV19, RV32, BV17, G17, G21, YG05 and YG07. You can buy the flower image here http://www.digidarladesigns.com/DigiDarlas-Peony_p_1271.html  I then cut out the bigger flower and it was popped up using pop dots from My Darling paper collection. I placed a Sweet Stitches brad by Stampin'Up in the middle. The sentiment is from English Rose sticker collection by Kaisercraft.

Loves Rubberstamps - Happy Birthday!

Well I'm back with another card for Loves Rubberstamps!! I made this Happy Birthday card for a really dear friend. She came to work for me and we have been friends ever since even though she has since retired. Guess what came this week my order from Loves Rubberstamps!! Yeah so I have some different stamps to show case now. Go check out Laura's store for all really cute awesome stamps she has to offer; http://www.lovesrubberstamps.net/
So I started off using Early Espresso for my card base which is a 5"x 7" finished card size. I used the newest paper line by Glitz Design called 'French Kiss' very appropriate for me because I was in France in early part of April for the 95th Anniversary of Vimy Ridge. I used Sahara Sand for the second layer and used a cuttlebug folder called 'Houndstooth'. Then I used French Kiss 'Stripe' for third layer. Then I used Pretty in Pink and then another piece of French Kiss paper called ' Labels'. I used the new stamp called 'Time in Paris' by Stamp-it Australia using platinum pigment ink by Clearsnap and embossed using black embossing powder. I then added some color by using Dewalt's Intense Watercolor pencils. I cut out the pink glitter paper by using Spellbinders 'Curved Rectangles'. The chipboard Eiffel Tower came from the Paris Chipboard by Magenta. I colored Eiffel Tower by using Tim Holtz Distress stains in the following colors; Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap and Black Soot. I added May Art pearls & lace ribbon on top and used another May Art pinkish/ champagne ribbon for the bow. I added pink I Am Roses. I stamped Happy Birthday from another set that Laura carries in the store called 'Celebration Mini Tickets' by Whimsy Stamps which also carries the die to cut out the tickets. I colored the tickets using Tim Holtz Distress Stains in the following colors; Torn Lipstick and Frayed Burlap.

Cardabilities - Sketch # 57

So here is my card for this month's sketch at Cardabilities. I started off with a 6"x 6" finished card size using purple paper by Bazzill. Then I used Wisteria Wonder by Stampin'Up for the second layer. For the third layer I used a paper called Maiposa White Butterflies gold by DCWV. I then cut out the next paper and just used the frame from the paper called Mariposa Butterflies with border by the same company.  I then punched out the 7 bases by using the punch from Stampin'Up called 'Curly Label' using various papers such as gold lustre, Wisteria Wonder and Concord Crush. Then I layered with the same papers using Stampin'Up 'Postage Stamp' punch and some pieces were popped up using pop up dots. I cut out the gold butterfly from the Mariposa paper stack by DCWV and used pop up dots to pop up the image. I cut the other butterfly using 'Wonderful Wings' by Donna Salazar collection by Spellbinders with purple glitter paper. I stamped the saying 'Just Because' from the set called  by Stampin'Up and punched it out using the window punch. I took light purple metallic paper and ran it thru a Darcie folder called 'Butterfly Corner'. Popped this up using pop up dots onto a Concord Crush paper punched out using Modern label punch by Stampin'Up.
