Challenge mash-up

-

Hi there,

So, I've been MIA for a while and I wanted to join in some challenges. So, I did what I really love doing - combining challenges.

I had a couple of themes to pair:
Purple (+2 neutrals /black/white)
One-layer
Simon Says Stamp product
MFT sketch #448
WOW! pearl embossing powder


This is what I came up with!

I first stamped the My favorite things Adorable elephant and sentiment using my Misti. I then covered the elephant and sentiment with a piece of paper that I tore. I wasn't too careful with it. Then I placed the Simon says stamp Kaleidoscope background stamp over it and stamped with WOW! embossing ink. I then covered with WOW! white pearl embossing powder and heat set it.



To fit it to the My favorite things sketch #448 I dug out some washi in 3 widths and used the grid on my Tonic glass plate to place them. I made sure they weren't too sticky to prevent any tearing of the cardstock.


 I then ink blended Shaded lilac, Wilted violet and Chipped sapphire Oxide inks. Once done I removed the washi and buffed off the excess ink with a dry cloth. I probably should have left the washi til after I buffed, but I wiped along the stripes and it was OK.
In hindsight I should have tilted the stripes, that would have given a more harmonized look. My intention was to ink blend the background in the same angle as the washi, but I just got caught up in the emboss-resist ink blending. Oh, well, what's a girl to do...


I then colored the elephant with my copics. If you think he looks sort of BV-ish, you're right! I initially colored with BV's because I felt the Shaded lilac resembles that more. But I didn't like it with the Wilted violet, so I used V's over it. And I like how it turned out.
I used my white Gelly roll pen for highlights and the nails/toes.


To finish off the card I added a couple of Nuvo Pale periwinkle jewel drops.
There, all done, full of mistakes and all. But I still like how it turned out.

Copics used:
V09, V17, V15, V12
(and before that BV17, BV13, BV02, BV01)

Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!

    I've wanted an elephant for years! It can roam in my backyard right next to the mermaid pool where my Beluga whale plays and where and manatee floats. I told my hubs that the elephant now needs to be purple. It can be lavender or eggplant purple. I'm not picky. He laughed so hard he couldn't breathe.

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
