The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge – Let’s Color

February 5, 2019

Hey peeps. I’m sharing a card I colored for the Daily Marker 30 Day Color Challenge. The challenge is hosted by the incredible Kathy Racoosin the owner of The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. During this challenge you allow yourself a little bit of time each day to color. We never “judge” how you color but support you in how you gave yourself the time to color even if it’s just for 10 minutes a day. Coloring allows me to refocus my energy into creating something I love.

For today’s card I used Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers 2 along with the Altenew Sincere Greetings stamp set. I think the gorgeous flowers and dainty sentiment work well together. I used my Faber Castell Polychromo pencils to color this image. Here are the colors I used:

Flowers I used 130, 131, 132, 185 and 101.
Leaves I used 165, 172, 278 and 101.
Background 271 and 272.

Adding white little dots with my gelly roll pen to add some interest to the background as well. This helped to keep my card clean and simple without any additional bulk.

To finish off my card I pulled out some older Stampin Up paper in hunter green to layer this panel on and adhered it to a white card base. I used the same card stock to stamp out the greeting in versamark and heat set it with arctic white embossing powder for Ink On 3. That will wrap up my card for today. Make sure to join in on the challenge over on Instgram or on The Daily Marker Facebook page. I’ll see you back here Thursday with another card.

Grab yourself a funky holiday tree and a simple sentiment and you can assemble your trees and sentiments while watching the Sunday football games. (Just sayin’ for all my football fans this is multi tasking at it’s finest 😉) I’m using the Simon Says Stamp Deco Tree and sentiment dies for my card today.

Holiday Card Series 2018 – Day 3

November 9, 2018

Hey peeps. Happy Friday. Today is Day 3 of my Holiday Card Series for 2018. I’m super excited to share this card with you today as I love everything that is sparklie and embossed. So let’s see what’s in store for you today.

I’m playing with some Nuvo glitter paste and Comic Shimmer Metallic Gilding Polish. Using these two products together helps to create beautiful cards. You can use any stencil of your liking with these products just make sure to clean your stencil off immediately after use as well as your palette knife.

I mean look at this sparkle!! Using this stencil really allowed me to keep this card simple but achieve a dramatic look all at once. Keeping the sentiment simple with the Scripty Xmas stamp set from Mama Elephant is the way to go with this kind of design.
