Freestyle panel/Floral Bday card

Hi guys! Kelly here. For this card Im using Altenews "Beauty Within" Stamp & Die set. I have the coordinating stencil but I didn't use it or need it for this card. 

To start off I stamped my Images onto 80lb Neenah cardstock from Cutcardstock. I used Copics to "flick" color onto them. I used:

RV10,RV21,RV23 & RV25

V20,BV20,BV01,BV02 & BV13

BG10,BG23,BG45, & BG13

YG11,YG03,YG25 & YG17

the centers I used YR24 & YR27

Then I die cut everything out. 

Once I laid out how I wanted them to appear I used Press n Seal and press it onto my layout, flipped it over and added glue and foam tape so its 1 large arrangement. 

Now comes the FREESTYLE....I took another 80lb panel of Neenah and I used the CHISEL side of my black Copic and from the outside edge I swiped in like a brushstroke. I repeated that down the left side of my panel. 

I grabbed 3 copics from the flower colors and added dots to the panel. 

I then die cut this above panel with a rectangle embossed edge die from Kat Scrappiness. 

Then I glued it to my 110lb Neenah cardbase from Cutcardstock. I removed the liner from the foam tape and adhered it to my panel on my cardbase. I added a bit of shimmer pen and black glaze pen to the dotted centers.

Then I added my label sticker Sentiment. Done.

I was  going to add some gems but decided this card had enough going on. Thanks so much for stopping by!❤

Simple Coloring

Kelly Fusco here.... thesunshinecrafter here & thanks for stopping by.

I enjoy and appreciate color but I struggle with coloring, like many people. 

So for this card Im using the "flick" method. 

I used Gina K "Caring Flowers" stamp set & Waffle Flowers Deckled frames dies for this card. 

To start I stamped my image with Memento Tuxedo Black onto 110lb Neenah. I used copics:

BG11,BG32,BG34 & BG15 BV01,BV02 

RV21,RV23,RV25 

& a wee bit of YG13 for the leaves. 

Here you can see the flick coloring and for the stamen which got drowned out from the markers I added White Gelly Roll pen. When you color using flicks you leave some white space and you don't have to be perfect or worry about blending. Whoo hoo. Thats for me!

After I finished my coloring I used Versafine Onyx (pigment ink) for my sentiment and I added Hero Arts Clear Embossing powder on top, heated n melted it. 

I die cut my panel with the smaller deckle frame die and I used the full size for my black panel. Then I decided it was kind of plain. So I added white ink splatter. It cracked some when I die cut it but I like the look it gave to it. I also used a Black Glaze pen for some specific splatter.  

I mounted my main panel up on foam tape and I added a few clear Nuvo drops (Morning Dew). At the very end I added a bit of shimmer pen(Wink Of Stella)to the flower petals (hard to see in pics but in person its shimmery)

 Thats it. So easy!

I hope you like this card. I love these colors together and Im a sucker for a floral stamp. Thanks so much for stopping by & check out the shop for all these goodies and much more!

Hugs,

Cutest Chubby Snowmen Ever!

 Art Impressions Chubby Snowmen is one of my favorite snowman stamp sets! I'm excited to show you this card.

To start off I took a strip of masking tape and sectioned off the bottom half of my panel which is 110lb Neenah cardstock.  I cut a freestyle mask for the ground as well. I used distress oxide inks in colors Chipped Sapphire & Blueprint sketch for the bottom. I splattered a bit of water for interest.

The top half of my panel I masked off in the middle vertically and I used faded jeans on the left and hickory smoke on the right. I added water splatter to these sections as well then I cut a thin piece of Holographic cardstock and glued it down on the trimmed borders. 

While that dried I stamped the images onto 110lb Neenah and colored them with copics.

I stamped my Sentiment with versamark and added white super fine Embossing  powder and heated it. 

I propped my images up on foam for dimension and adhered them to my panel.

I added white gel accents to my images and white "stars"  to the background with the gelly roll pen.

I also added some clear gelly roll pen for some extra shine. And some sparkle pen for the lights on the tree.

I had alot of fun creating this card & I hope you like it.
