Covered Bridge....by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

I made a card for my project today- enjoy

To start I stamped the covered bridge. Then I used a paper towel to mask the bridge where I stamped the winter woods scene on each side. 

I then used the distress spray stains and a paint brush to water color the card.

I used three different browns for the floor of the bridge. I used lost shadow DSS and Distress oxide spray-Hickory smoke together for the cement coming off the bridge. I like the effect.

I used DSS candy apple and cracklin campfire for the bridge cover.

I wanted more of a spring look So after I painted the sky and dried it,  I used the tip of the paintbrush to dot tiny green leaves all over the trees. the greens I used for the card are twisted citron and cracked pistachio. The sky was done with salvaged patina and shaded lilac. The water was done with stormy sky and salvaged patina.

And for the little cat, I used spiced marmalade. I love orange kitties! only he blended with the bridge floor too much. I tried to fix him but hes just too small.

last thing I did was take a thin brush and go over the tree trunks with scorched timber.

And I did stamp the cat twice and cut one out and popped it up on top with flat tape on his front toes so it doesn't look like he is floating...

I then layered it onto a black card and that's it!

"WELL, IT WASN'T ME...." by Fran Chalmers

 Hello everyone!

I've made a postcard for you.  Must admit, I was giggling to myself while making this! I hope you like it.

To make the background I smooshed together Distress Inks in Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry with water.

I then added a bit of texture in the background with just one stamp, in Versafine Clair Hawthorn Rose.

I then stamped the images on thick paper, coloured them and fussy cut them out (leaving off the antenna!). I then stuck them onto the background.

I stuck on my sentiment and went round the edges with a black fine liner

I put some Stickles onto the fairy wings to make them sparkle.

Items Used:

Stylized sun 2127

Fairy 18694

Girl with wings 19005

Other Items Used:

Distress Inks in Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry

Simple Birthday card by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies

Welcome back here :)

Today, I like to share a very simple Birthday card.

Close-ups:

And that's how I made it:

1.) In the first step I need watercolor paper, a VersaMark ink pad and transparent embossing powder.

2.) I stamped and embossed my image 5 times. Now I'm coloring it purple with my handmade watercolor paint.

3.) After the circles have dried, I cut them out and punch out an equal number of circles from black cardstock using a 1 3/4" circle punch.

4.) Now I put the circles together. To do this I use 3D foam (double-sided adhesive) and a string of colored Scrappers floss. The 3D foam goes behind my stamped image and the string between the small and large circle.

5.) Now I need a background for the card. To do this, I simply take postcard-sized watercolor paper and spray it with pink Dylusions paint spray. I paint around the edges with a black marker. Now I can position my finished "balloons" and stick them on.
Finally, I stick some text onto the card (also with 3D foam). I bundle the loose ends of the strings under the 3D glue. Done!

All stamps, I used:

- Geodesic Dome

- Happy Birthday Dots

other supplies:

- Watercolorpaper

- VersaMark

- Embossing powder

- Dylusions Spray

- handmade watercolors

- Cardstock

- Edding

- Scrappers Floss

- 3D Foam 

- Circle punch

See ya soon *mwah*

Fairy tag by Cathy N

 Good morning, all Cathy here with a fairy tag for you today. 

                                                                            Stamps Used:

                                                                         20157 the moon

                                                                         18942 Christmas trees large

                                                                        14752 angel/fairy

                                                                         2561 grass and flowers

I started out by blending a blue and green distress ink onto a tag. I then stamped angel/fairy at the bottom and I took a water brush and took away some of the distress ink so I could color in with copic markers.

Next, I stamped the Christmas trees large on the side and the grass and flowers on the bottom. 

After that was done, I stamped the moon on a piece of white cardstock and cut out. 

I also added some sparkle sticker paper to the moon.

Together is the best..... by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all~

Today I decided to make another tag - With Valentines day looming, the tag reflects that.

I started by spraying on some spray stains and some oxide spray to get the background. Once dry, I stamped the moon and then sprayed with squeezed lemon and saltwater taffy sprays.

I also swiped the edges of the tag with vintage photo ink pad for a bit of distressed look,

Next I stamped the five hearts with red ink.

For the image of the couple, I stamped and fussy cut them out and then used water color pencils to color them. They layer so nicely.

I used foam tape on the back of them except at the bottom of them, I used double stick tape.

For the verse I used TH Small talk sticker book.. To finish the tag, I used some gold Dresden trims at the top and bottom of the tag.

And that is it- I hope you enjoyed.

Moon    20157

Hugging lovers   17687
