Layers of Color Glad Tidings Winner

A quick card to share using Gifts of Love and Vintage Medallion from Layers of Color.  I kept the colors to black, ivory and shades of green.   I sponged the art stencil using Memento Bamboo Leaves and Pear Tart.

Sorry to be so late on announcing my Glad Tidings winner.....my husband had some minor surgery on Monday and haven't had time to get to the blog to post my winner.  So without further ado the random winner is.....

CPS233

I made this for the CPS233 sketch this week.  Clearsnap is sponsoring this week and I used Smooch Spritz in Holly Berries and Gingerale.  It is a beautiful spritz ink that gives nice coverage.  I used some stamps from Layers of Color Flutterescent and Merci Bouquet, as well as the stencil Vintage Medallion.  The bling is from Want2Scrap.

Just a heads up...Layers of Color is having a Fall Release coming very soon... Monday, September 19th to be exact!

   Can't wait to share with you some projects I have been creating as well as seeing what the rest of the LOC DT has made!!

LOC: Birthday Wishes

A simple 5x5 card to share today that uses Vintage Medallion art stencil and Happy Wishes clear art stamp set from Layers of Color.  I sponged over the die using Memento ink in a circular fashion and stamped the sentiment using Memento Black Tuxedo.   Added a little bling and d-o-n-e. :o) 

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

Layers of Color

I have another Layers of Color card to share with you today.  This one uses the Clear Art Stamp set Flowering Gems and the Vintage Medallion Art Stencil.  I haven't created a brown and red card in quite some time and thought the brown would *pop* if stenciled on red cardstock.  The flowers were stamped, cut out and layered with dimensionals.  I also used a Tim Holtz embossing folder, wrapped some ribbon and added a Faith sentiment. You can't quite see it (on the red part), but I spritzed the red cardstock and die-cut Spellbinders die with some Pinecone Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.  This stuff is addictive and I managed to pick up two more bottles for Christmas cards (red/green)...  Still need to get the hang of it though, lol!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Layers of Color: Flowering Gems

Today I have a card to share using the stamp set Flowering Gems from Layers of Color. These beautiful floral stamps just called my name and I couldn't wait to get them inky.  I am not real adept at coloring with Copics so did a bit of sponging on this creation.  First, I stamped the florals on Sweet Corn cardstock.  Then I cut around the petals towards the center of the flower and sponged the edges of each with Memento Rhubarb.  Each floral layer was then popped up on dimensional dots and finished with a pearl in the center.  I did similar with the leaves and stamped them onto Green Apple cardstock. To create the white and yellow background, I used the Vintage Medallion Art Stencil.  I love how easy the Art Stencils are to use and they clean up easy...  I just run water over mine and set it aside to dry (easy-peasy).

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

CAS Layers of Color

:I wanted to make some CAS designs using the Vintage Medallion Art Stencil and the thank you sentiment from Merci Bouquet. For both of these, I also used some Webster's Pages patterned paper and on the first card some Green Ruffle Trim.

Things have been busy around here so not much stamping time, but that is okay. :o) Our older two children leave next week for the The Wilds, a Christian camp in the mountains, and are very excited. Our sweet daughter starts counting down the days when she comes back until she can return, lol! So around here right now there is a lot of gathering/packing, as well as praying for the Lord to work in their hearts and lives through the messages from His Word that they will be hearing.

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

Blessings,

Layers of Color ~ Merci

Just a quick CAS card to share today that I made with the stamp set Merci Bouquet from Layers of Color. There is very little stamping on this card (in fact, just what is in the circle... yep, that's it!). The large medallion you see is an art stencil called Vintage Medallion that I laid over my Soft Sky cardstock and sponged with Desert Sand Memento ink. The art stencil really makes it so easy.

Hope you had a great weekend! Our oldest son had his baseball tournament Friday night and they won the championship (woo-hoo!!!)...quite exciting for him and on his birthday which was way cool for a new 11 year old ;oP Now it is on to All Stars which starts later this week. I have been stamping when I can find the time, but nothing I can share quite yet. Hope to post a RAK card or two tomorrow ...:o) I just need to take pics and my camera chip is filled with baseball photos so hard to come by empty chip space!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Layers of Color ~ Merci Bouquet

I recently ordered some stamps from Layers of Color...(special thanks to Nina for pulling me in). They recently released Art Stencils and couldn't stand it any longer, just had to give them a try and also ordered the stamp set Merci Bouquet. The quality of the clear stamps is amazing and the stencils...oh my goodness are these fun! I have two cards to share today... For this first one, I used the Color Challenge from SCS this week which is Soft Suede, Almost Amethyst, Apricot Appeal and White. I sponged over the oval with Apricot Appeal ink and paper pieced the flowers that were stamped on Almost Amethyst, it just makes them pop so nicely.

Now to the Art Stencils....
Isn't this stencil so COOL!!! Oh my goodness... I made a CAS design using the Vintage Medallion Art Stencil. It creates a wow effect without a lot of layering, bumpiness (you know what I mean) and weight... I just laid the stencil over my cardstock and sponged over it to reveal this really cool looking medallion.

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to stop back in tomorrow when Limelight Papercrafts is having another Sketch Challenge...it is a great sketch and can't wait to share my card. :o)

Blessings,
