Let's go by Cathy N

 Good afternoon, all Cathy here with a fun postcard for you today. 

                                                             Stamp Used:

                                                   19803 boys playing with shopping cart

I started out by stamping boys playing with shopping cart on some watercolor paper. I colored it in with copic markers and then colored the background with some distress inks and a water brush. I layered it on black cardstock.

Next, I made the flag/banner pole. I used some washi tape and some pattern paper. I glued a pomp-pomp to the top and added to a 4x6 pattern paper for the postcard.

We are all weirdos by Cathy N

 Goodmorning all, Cathy here with a Halloween-ish card for you all.

                                                                       Stamps Used:

                                                                         Plate 1504

I stared off by making the background using distress ink and I smooched it on the craft mat and picked it up and dried. I did that a few times. Next, I stamped some of the stamps in the same ink for the background. I edged it with a dark brown distress ink. 

                                                                  Then I stamped the branch in the same dark brown distress oxide in on the top and then I used black ink to stamp the rest around the card.

hell is empty.... by Tracy blackwolf

 Hello all-I made a card for todays blog- its a bit dark but its how I feel...Hope you like it anyway..

For this scene, I sprayed some Distress spray stains for the background As I envisioned my scene- sky, grass, earth, under world...

I had to fee hand the hell scape- Which I'm not great at which is why I stamp. Lol.

after getting the inks where I wanted them, I went in with some black pan pastel and a soft brush to darken hell scape. I then stamped the devils so they look like they are emerging into our world.

I then painted  them red and added flames to the hell cave. Also I stamped the trees in the background.

I went over the whole scene with watercolor pencils to add to the details and depth of the scene. I also kept adding to the dirt piles the devils are emerging from until I was  happy with the look. 

Last, I used my computer and transparency to get the phrase.

I added a bit of 'smoke' rising from the devils with pan pastel black. I put the phrase on and done.

Hope you enjoyed!

Canvas for my entrance ► Majo

 

Hi, my friends.

 Today, I’d like to show you the new (name) canvas on my front door. I used distress paint „Spun Sugar“ and „Lost Shadow“ for the background  and stamped the beautiful image „Nature Collage“ on tissue paper.

Distressing the edges and adding the computer generated image finished my creation.

The beautiful image in detail: 

Take good care and enjoy the summer. Luv ya ♥

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE - by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!

Today I have made a quick celebration card for you.

 To create the background I got Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed and dragged them over the card at an angle of 45 degrees to create three stripes.

To give the background some more texture, I used the corner of a background stamp with the three different oxide colours.

I stamped my main image three times on some thick paper, coloured them and fussy cut them out (which was a bit of a task in itself!)  I coloured the stars on the hats with gold glitter pen.

I stuck the three cut out images onto the card,  and stamped the sentiment black ink.

I mounted it on black card to finish it off.

Stamps Used:

Dictionary Page 19015

Whimsical Star Hat Lady 19526

Until further notice 19172

Other items used:

Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade

Versafine Clair ink in Nocturn

Ring of fire by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all!

I made a card today -I'm loving doing landscapes lately... hope you enjoy.

I've been wanting to do a volcano for a while now and finally got around to it.

I used multifarious smooth and supreme card stock about 4" x 8" and stated by using one ink color at a time and swirling on the color with the brush. I left a highlight or light area as you can see.

Next I stamped the volcano image and then used distress oxide black soot around the edges and to extend the volcano to the bottom of the card.

I kept adding black soot oxide around the edges of the card. I switched to regular distress ink pad black to work my way in further as its more transparent and what I wanted for the look as I still wanted some orange to show through. Next I stamped the rock vista stamp to get more mountain scene but I only used the bottom half of the stamp.

I also used the spray stains shown to create the hot clouds, just put on with a brush. Then I needed some bright color for the lava.. I wanted it to look hot so I used some neon acrylic paints and a small brush to put them on. also, the white smoke I put on with a brush and white pan pastel.

Next it was time for the white highlights. I used Dr.Ph.Martins bleed proof white. I put it on with a very small brush. This stuff is fantastic! It stays white! After I got all my white hot whites on, I used the white pan pastel to make more smoke. Then I stamped some trees and finally mounted my card onto layers of cardstock to finish it.

I hope you enjoyed. It was a fun card to make.

Filmstrip card by Cathy N

Hello and good morning, Cathy here with a fun card for you today.

                                                                     Stamps Used:

                                                                19219 whimsical elephant 

                                                                17545 writing background

                                                                20572 doodle triangle 

I started out cutting an die cut of a large film strip with black cardstock. Then I cut out the center die with white cardstock and smooched 3 different distress inks on a plastic sheet and the smooched it on the cardstock. I dried between colors so they wouldn't blend together. 

 I then stamped whimsical elephant with black ink in the middle of the card. I then added writing background in the same 3 distress colors I used on the background in the same color area. After that I stamped doodle triangle in black ink randomly on the background. Lasty, I added washi tape for the elephant to stand on and add it to the black die cut piece. 

Am I cute by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi lovelies

2.) Now I want to add a pattern to my ATC. To do this, I'll draw 3cm from the bottom.

3.) I now divide these lower 3cm into 1x1cm segments.

4.) Before I continue drawing my pattern, I first color the existing pattern.

5.) After that I can finish it and add shading.

6.) At the end, I color the kitten, the rest of the background, add a saying, and a few splashes of color.

All stamps I used:

- Cat paws

- Am I cute or what

other supplies:
