Art Impressions Challenge #194 The Perfect Pair

Hello,

I hope everyone is doing good!! I'm late with Art Impressions post because last night I thought today was Wednsday! So after class and before work I am getting this post together because it is in fact Thursday!! LOL  The weekend can not get here fast enough!!

It's the second week of the Art Impressions Challenge #194 - Perfect Pair. AI has three great new Perfect Pair stamp sets that are now available! Warm Wishes is available at Michael's, Snow Much Fun and Fright Night available at AC Moore.

My card today features the Fright Night set! I started by die cutting three times the die in the set from water color cardstock. Then I stamped the three images and then colored them with my Distress Markers. I used Fossilized Amber, Riper Persimmon, Mowed Lawn, Gathered Twigs, Vintage Photo, Dusty Concord, Black Soot, Carved Pumpkin.

Next, I mixed up some Ranger Texture Paste and Black Soot Distress Paint. I placed a Tim Holtz Halloween word stencil over a white card base and then applied the paste.

When the paste was dry I used a couple of my Distress Markers and water to flick spots all over the card base. I cut a strip of white cardstock and stamped the Happy Fright Night sentiment. Then I added it to the card and last added the colored images. The Frankenstein was added with foam tape!

Thanks for stopping by!!

The Great Outdoors

Hello!!

I'm stopping real quick to share a card I made this morning for Papertrey Ink's Stamp A Faire 2016. I wasn't sure I would be playing along this year, its been super hot and humid and we don't have air conditioning because it usually doesn't stay this hot this long. This morning some rain came in and cooled it off for a little bit (its now really humid!!) and I was able to make two card for two different challenges.

This card is for the Starry Night challenge. I started with a panel of water color and I used Black Soot and Spun Sugar Distress Paint to make my Starry Night background.

While it was drying I stamped the tent, fire and three pine trees from PTI's Summer Camp stamp set. I used a few Spectrum Noir markers to color the tent and fire, CR2, EB6, OR2, OR3, PP1. With Ripe Avocado ink I stamped the pine trees three times. Then I fussy cut them all out.

When my background was dry I added a strip of Kraft card stock along the bottom and stamped The Great Outdoors sentiment to the right. I added the trees, fire and tent with foam tape. Last I used my Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen to add starry dots, but unfortunately I couldn't get a good photo, so you can't see the nice sparkle the background has!!

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back in a few with my second card for the Stamp A Faire!

Fairy Kisses

Hello!!

I'm popping in real quick with a card that features one of the new June release sets from The Alley Way Stamps, Twinkle Toes! This is an adorable set!!

I started by doing a background first! I did it just like i have done my galaxy backgrounds, only i used different colors. You can see how i did the background in this video, just change the colors!!

Next i stamped the fairy in brown ink on watercolor paper. I colored her with distress markers, matching the distress colors that i used in the background. Then i fussy cut her out.

Then i die cut a banner from some black chalk board pattern paper. I adhered the fairy to the banner, then added the banner to my now dried background.

Last, i stamped the sentiment in the bottom right corner.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Blast Off

Hello!!

This is my second card today!! If you are looking for my Art Impression post click here!! Today i'm also showcasing the new Blast Off set in a video! I've had a few requests for a video on how i do my space backgrounds!

This is also the first time i've have not made a card before doing the video. I have to do the video on my kitchen table, so that means i have to move the supplies i need, but i decided not to do it this time. I had an idea of how i wanted to do my card. Also i CASEd fellow TAWS DT member Francine, you can see her card here.

Enjoy!!
