Holiday Card Series 2018 – Day 2

Hey peeps.  I’m back with Day 2 of my Holiday Card Series 2018.  I’m super excited to be sharing some coloring with you today.  I decided to pull out my Copic markers and work with the awesome stamp called Deck The Palms.  I was so excited to get my hands on this stamp set as I live in Florida and I mean this stamp set is PERFECT for our hot holiday climate.

This stamp is so much fun to play with to create a cute little beach seen.  I’ll I need is a fruity cocktail and a beach chair and I’m all set for the holidays.

 

Pulling out my Copic markers was a no-brainer for this image.  I mean how cute are those palm trees.

Concord & 9th Crafty Turnabout Bundle

Hey peeps.  Its my last day guest designing for Concord & 9th.  It has been sure a pleasure working with Angie and the crew.  For today’s card I used the new Crafty Turnabout stamp set and coordinating dies.  OMG can I tell you how much I love this stamp set?  It is so super fun to play with and I have a ton of color combos I want to make with it.

For my first card I used shades of green, pink, yellow and orange to keep my card bright and cheerful.

 

 

For my second card I chose to go a little cooler with my colors and use gray, orange and two shades of blue.  This stamp set is so easy to use and as you can see it makes amazing cards.
Thanks again to Angie and the gang for giving me the opportunity to join them for a month.  Make sure to head on over to the Concord and 9th blog so you can see what the other guest designers have for you.  Have a great weekend everyone.

Technique Tuesday November Release

For today’s card I’m sharing with you the adorable Dani Deer stamp set and coordinating crafty dies.  This image was so much fun to color and design with.  The sentiments and images in this stamp set can used year around. I colored this adorable little deer with my Copic markers and used the coordinating crafty dies to cut her out.  Next I pulled out some designer paper and made a cute little circle scene for her to stand next too.  This gave me the perfect place to add my sentiment on the snow drifts.

 

This was such a fun and easy card to put together.  You can totally mass product this style of card in no time.  I mean how darn cute is this deer?

Technique Tuesday Sneak Peek Day 2

Hey peeps.  It’s Technique Tuesday sneak peek day 2.  If you missed yesterday’s sneak peek day 1 you can click and see what I made.  We are just one day away from release day.  Today I’m sharing the beautiful Poinsettia stamp set. OH MY WORD I can’t begin to tell you how much I loved creating this card.   This image is the perfect size to make beautiful watercolor card panels.

I started this card off by stamping the image randomly onto a piece of watercolor paper.  Next I carefully colored each image in bright pink watercolor.  I used an image I found on the internet to get the perfect color combo for this card.  I used two different watercolors on my card using the Dr. Ph Martin hydrus ink as well as my Daniel Smith watercolors.  After each flower was colored I created an ultra dark background to really make them pop.

 

I decided to add some white splatters using white gouache and a paint brush.  I just tapped on the end of my paint brush to make the splatters.  Just make sure if you do this is gouache is watered down well.  Then I set it aside to try.  Next I created a sentiment strip using vellum as I didn’t want to stamp the sentiment directly on the card panel and wrapped it around my watercolored piece.  I adhered this to a white card base and all that was left was to add a few embellishments.

 

 

I have to say I am really loving this card.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Make sure to swing by the other design team members blogs to see what they have in store.  See you back here tomorrow for release day.
