Spring Card Camp 2 - Day 3 Homework

I have watched Day 3 - 6 of the Spring Card Camp but only had time to do Day 3's homework.

Day 3- Dry embossing with Stencils.
This is a technique which I really like.

I took a Penny Black stencil and using my Cuttlebug sandwich to emboss.  It turned out really good.  I then took a Distress Oxide  - Worn Lipstick and blended all over the the card.  I added some gold Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to dots on the flowers. I added the panel to some gold paper to mat it.   I used a Sizzix stamp and die set to make the Hello sentiment.  I added a sentiment stamped with the Distress Oxide using a little Altenew stamp. 

I am entering this into the monochromatic challenge at The Flower Challenge.

 

Jingle Bells

Hi there.... Christmas is sneaking up quickly.   I sold some of my Christmas cards to people at work, so I've been making a few more.

I used a Mini stamp from Couture Creations - bells and stamped it numerous times onto white card and used my Scan'N'Cut to cut them out so a ready supply of stamps for colouring and making into cards.

This first one I used Copic markers to colour my bells and then used an embossing folder to make my background.  My sentiment is from a Kaisercraft set.

Second card used Prismacolor pencils to colour the bell

I added some Opal Dust gel to add some glitter to the image.  I added some washi tape to the top and bottom of my panel and then ran through the Cuttlebug with an Altenew stencils and my rubber mat to give some subtle texture to the card.  The little doily die is from Catherine Pooler Designs. I didn't add a sentiment to the front of this one, added one inside.

and a third card using the bells

 I used some vintage music that I found on Pintrest and printed to fit my card.  I used my Prismacolor pencils again and added a little sentiment onto the bottom of the music panel.  I am entering this one into the Traditional Christmas challenge at Simon Says Stamp.

I've actually done another three or so bell card but will share over the next little while.   Have to say I had lots of fun doing different designs with the bells... hit on one design I've used a number of times which uses up some of my ENORMOUS supply of patterned papers.

thanks for stopping by.  I'm having a very quiet weekend at the beach - with no supplies just relaxing.  Have a great weekend all.

Thanks to CAS-ual Fridays...

Over at Die Cut Divas this month, CAS-ual Fridays has been our sponsor.  Our theme is "Anything Goes" with an

I have a few CAS-ual Friday's stamps and dies. Here is my card for the final day of the month.

I used a piece of card stock I had previously embossed with an Altenew Stencil.  I love the subtle texture this technique gives. I used the stamps from CAS-ual Fridays' Pretty Posies set.  I white embossed them and then used Altenew Watercolour Paints - Coral Berry and Purple Wine.  My leaves were die cut with Casual Vine die (no longer available) from some of the Gelli plate inked backgrounds I made in the last weekend.  A few Nuvo drops and the white embossed sentiment finished my card.

Thanks CAS-ual Fridays for sponsoring our challenge.
