Season of Change

Today I have a fun autumn card I made using Season of Change from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Pitt artist Big Brush pens (no ink pads, shock and awe I know!).  I colored directly on the stamp using Dark Chrome Yellow and flicked on top of it with Orange Glaze prior to stamping on white card stock.  I love the two-toned look on the leaves...  To add some filler to the white space I inked the Friendship Script Background with the Light Yellow Glaze Big Brush pen.  The sentiment was inked with Caput Mortuum and and some flecks by coloring with the same marker on my craft mat, spritzing with water and then flicking over my panel using a water color brush...uber cool technique, and a favorite!

Here is a closer look at the flecking:

Wildflowers

Hello!  I managed to make a quick card last night using Wildflowers from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and coloring direct to stamp using PITT artist Big Brush pens (in Ochre, May Green, Green Olive and Caput Mortuum).  I stamped over the image Friendship Script Background with Old Paper distress ink and distressed the edges.  Very easy peasy.... :)

My Heart Blooms

 I wanted to share a card I made late last night (the results of of a Venti Skinny Vanilla Latte with an extra shot of expresso at 5 pm...so not wise!!).  I used the True Love Stamp TV Kit and created my background with the berry and leaves stamp which I stamped in Memento Black Tuxedo.  Then colored in the leaves and berries with Faber-Castell artist big pen big brush markers (Permanent Green Olive, May Green, Pink Madder Lake and Pale Geranium Lake) on White Luxury cardstock.  The colors move so beautifully when applied one after the other.  The label and sentiment from the same kit were stamped using Memento Rose Bud and Bamboo Leaves ink.  I added a button (due to a smudge, lol!) and some pink pearl bling from Want2Scrap.  Super easy and fun to make create!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

STV Kit and Gelatos

I have another card to share that I made with the Springtime Silhouettes Stamp TV Kit. This time I used some of the new Gelatos from Faber-Castell.  You can find some wonderful tutorials on their blog: Design Memory Craft.  

For the background, I used the damask image in the kit and heat embossed a piece of White cardstock with Clear Embossing powder.  After it had cooled, I used this cool Gelato (think chapstick, but don't use it as chapstick, lol!) and rubbed it over the cardstock and the embossing.  Then I simply used my finger to blend it in and buffed with a tissue.  Uber cool!!!   The butterfly was stamped/embossed on Red Hot cardstock with Black Embossing Powder, adhered to the card, and had to add a bit of pearl bling.
