DT announcement

-

Goodmorning all!

 Today is the day I can finally reveal that I am joining 
the design team at AAA Birthday Card Challenges - YAY!
I'm honored to work alongside a group of very talented ladies 
and so super excited to begin this adventure. I'm still happy dancing!
Thank you so much for this opportunity, Jane! 
I couldn't wait to get started, so I created a card for Game #2 - use of watercolors




I used Altenew Wallpaper art stamp set and I used the coordinating stencil set to help mask off the images. Since I was going to watercolor I stamped with Gina K amalgam ink.
I first created a wash with Distress Oxide inks Spun suger, Picked raspberry and Seedless preserves. After drying the panel with my heat tool I added shadows to the images using water a couple of watercolor markers.
The "happy" is from another Altenew set - Painted poppies - and "birthday wishes" is from Simon Says Stamp Tiny words.
This is a very simple card for me, but I didn't want to take away from the subtle beauty of all the pink on those gorgeus flowers.
I hope I have inspired you to get your watercolors out and join us for the June challenge - Use of watercolors




Please stop by the AAA Birthday Blog to see the rest of our design team's creations. We also have 4 amazing guest designers joining us in June, so be sure to check out their gorgeus cards as well.

 Happy crafting and thank you for stopping by!

Copic vedligeholdelse - hvordan & hvorfor

  Hej! Jeg laver ellers ikke blog på dansk, men men tænkte at der måske var nogle som kunne gøre brug af det.  Jeg har længe villet lave en blog post om Copic vedligeholdelse - også kendt som Copic spa day - og nu har jeg endelig fundet tid til det.  Det er en lang post, så hent en kop kaffe og sæt dig til rette.  For god ordens skyld gør jeg opmærksom på, at jeg viser min egen foretrukne metode og at alle holdninger er mine egne. Teksten må ikke kopieres eller gengives uden accept.  Først og fremmest - HVORFOR bør man bruge tid på at rengøre sine tuscher?  Du har endelig købt nogle tuscher, nogle ret dyre tuscher i min optik, og nu vil du bare farvelægge. Har jeg ret?  Rengøring af så mange tuscher tager lidt tid og jeg forstår fuldt ud, hvis nogle synes det er langsommeligt og spild af tid. Men hvad hvis jeg siger, at vedligeholdelse af dine Copic tuscher vil forlænge deres levetid og forbedre brugen af dem? Rengøring er essentielt for alle Copic-brugere, uanset hvor meget eller hvor

Masculine birthday card

Hey everyone, Today I'm sharing a masculine card. It seems to be something a lot of us strugle with, but since I had my oxide inks out (see post from yesterday) I ink blended one more panel using Faded jeans, Broken China and Cracked Pistacio. I just love this combo. I placed the panel in my Misti and prepped it with my antistatic powder tool before stamping the Simon Says Stamp Ornate background stamp. This is one of my all time favorite stamps and I keep going back to it. I often use my Versafine Onyx black and clear embossing powder, but for this I used Stampendous black embossing powder because it has a really gorgeous raised glossy look.  Just look at that shine! The TILLYKKE sentiment simply means congrats and is from Simple and Basic. I die cut it from black cardstock 4 times for dimension, and covered the top layer in WOW! embossing Vintage peacock glitter. TIP: The die does not come with a shadow, but i turned it upside down on a black

Pop-up how-to

  Hi friends, here's a how-to on my pop-up cards. Last summer I decided on finding a card design that was sort of interactive, yet not too dimensional, to make for the Danish Operation write home.  For those who don't know, the Operation write home delivers cards for military personnel to send home to their loved ones while deployed.  ~ My favorite things Mermazing, Elegant rectangle stax, Neat & Tangled Mermazing, Taylored Expressions Sweet scallop stencil The pop-up card design is not my original idea. It's been around for years, and I recall making one a looong time ago, but it was tedious and I didn't like the working process. But I recently saw Jennifer Mcquire make it this way, and I knew I had to give it a try. And once I'd made one they just flowed on out of my crafty quarters. They are really easy to make and add quite the dimension to the card. AND - they fold flat, which is absolutely perfect. ~ Whimsy stamps Whale of a time, Sunny Studios stamps Sea
