Totally Stampalicious - Movie Theme

Happy Monday everyone... it is time for another Totally Stampalicous challenge. This week we are to be inspired by a Movie or TV show - Title, theme etc., Thanks Stacy (aka Twinshappy) for the challenge.

My card was inspired by the movie "Wild Hogs". A group of middle aged men who have decided to rev up their routine suburan lives with a freewheeling motorcycle trip. Below is the patch used in the movie.

I used the TS "Road Hawg" stamp to make my card. Image was coloured with prismacolour pencil crayons and gamsol. I painted the panel behind the image with Acrylic paints - I tryed to make it look like the Designer Paper. Image was cut out and popped up.

Please make sure to check out what the other talented Totally Stampalicious DT members have come up with to inspire you. I hope you will join us in our challenge.

Happy stamping and creating,

Art of life painting

Just wanted to share this with you. I made this earlier in the week for three challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers. Queen for the Day - honouring Grace (aka scrappigramma2), Ways to use it - paints and Free 4 All - something you collect - but it could not be anything to do with stamping. Here is the card of Grace's that I cased "SC177 Art of Life". I coloured the back of my stamp with Acrylic paints and stamped onto Linen Paper. When image was dry, I punched out the two corners. Matted image with Always artichoke and black card stock, attached the ribbon and sewed edges. Punched out the butterflies, once with red card stock and then from vellum. Glued butterflies together and added white liquid pearls to the body. Made base card panel, assembled card...

A little black magic

Happy Tuesday.... here are two cards I made yesterday for the Splitcoast Stampers Technique Challenge - to use a technique called "Black Magic". Here is an excellent tutorial by Wendy Wixler on how to do the "Black Magic" technique.
I really love how both of these cards turned out. The first card I made is the one with the little picket fence. First I stamped Stampin Up Craft white ink onto black card stock. Next I coloured the flowers with Water colour pencil crayons. I used three different shades of yellows and three different shades of orange. Starting with the lightest colour in the middle and then next darkest and darkest at the outer edges of the flowers. I used two different shades of green on the leaves.
Next I punched out the fence (Martha Stewart - border punch), sponged the top of the pickets with Really rust. Matted the image with a textured rust card stock and black. Did a wandering stitching around the edges - using black thread. Punched out the mini butterflies, sponged wings with really rust. Glued butterflies on card and dotted White liquid pearls to wings. Image panel is popped up. Sponged edges of base card.


For the top card - I coloured the flowers using Prisma colour pencil crayons instead of using water colour pencil. I used two different shades of each colour instead of three. Matted image with Burgundy and black card stock. I used the picket fence punch on the top and bottom of the black c/s - you can just see the top of the picket fence showing. I cut a 2" square of burgundy- cut this in half to make the rectangles underneath the image panel. Assembled image panel and sewed edges. Attached the black brads to burgundy triangle. Base card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 white card stock. For the base panel - I cut a 5 1/4" square of houndstooth and polka dot dp. Cut the square in half (triangle) - then using only one triangle of each dp I cut them in 1/2 again (triangle). Placed the 4 triangles onto black card stock and layered a 5 1/4" square piece of vellum over top. Sewed edges. Made the ribbon and bow embellishment - sewed it to base card. Both panels are popped up.

Hay! How are you?

It's time for another Totally Stampalicious challenge - to make a masculine card or project. I have used this fun "Farmer Hawg" image on my card. I coloured the image with Prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol. I had the sheep dp in my stash that I thought would be perfect on my card, plus the green textured gingham dp. I cut four squares and placed them over the black card stock, next I wrapped string around the middle of the card and stitched edges. I cut out the image and popped it up over the small square panel. Aren't those silver chickens the perfect embellishment for this card!!!

A pretty poppy just for you

Here is a card I made earlier this week. I just love this pretty poppy from the Stampin Up set - In full bloom. The sentiment is from the SU set - Fresh Cuts. I coloured the flower with prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol. Clear embossed the flower, next I stamped over the image with SU's Sanded backgrounder and a Script backgrounder stamp using Close t Cocoa ink. I stamped the So Saffron panel and the Kraft base card with the Sanded and Script BG. Sponged and distressed all edges. Matted the flower panel with Rich Razzleberry and Dusty Durango card stock. Sewed edges of flower panel. Stamped sentiment and punched out the circle. Attached brass hardware and sentiment with white lace ribbon. Attached the mini brads.
I am very pleased with how this turned out. The sketch I used is from Splitcoast Stampers #SC281 and the colours are from challenge #CC271.

FUN IN THE SUN

Happy Sunday everyone. Today over at Splitcoast Stampers - Cathleen Torina (aka ctorina) has the honour of being this weeks featured stamper. I chose THIS cute card of hers to case. I haven't used my house images for awhile and I had the perfect image to use today.
This also works for the House Mouse & Friends challenge #69 - distressing.

The adorable House Mouse image I used is called "Bunny Cruise", I water coloured the image with Stampin Up reinkers. Clear embossed the drink glass and inner tube. Sponged on the clouds - using the edge of a round scalloped circle. I ran a piece of blue card stock through the Cuttlebug using the Divine Swirls folder, tore it into two strips to make the waves. I cut the surf boards from some DCWV dp I had. Added gold liquid pearls to the Palm tree coconuts. Assembled the card, sewed edges. I used a Sun stamp from Studio G - stamped it over the HM and Palm tree panels. Punched out the 1" circle, sponged edges, printed sentiment, added the dots and stickles. Popped up the sun. Curled the torn waves and added stickles to the water...

Two embossed vellum cards

Hello again.... Here are two cards I made today using the technique challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers - we were to emboss vellum - dry or heat embossing.
On the card below - I used the Upsy Daisy stamp - I coloured the back of the stamp with Stampin Up markers and then spritzed water on the stamp - the stamped onto water colour paper. Matted the image with black and a square scalloped Old Olive mat. Used Martha Stewart fence border punch, sponged Really Rust on the top of the pickets. Attached my green ribbon and brad. My base card is 5"x%' white card stock. I ran a square piece of Vellum through the cuttlebug with the Floral Screen embossing folder and a sentiment border "With Love". Matted Vellum with Old Olive card stock. Sponged edges. Sewed edges. Attached butterfly brad and assembled card.
I cased this beautiful card of Cathleen Torina (ctorina) - she had the honor of being chose as Queen for the Day last week.


For the card below - I water coloured the Iris's with Stampin Up reinkers. The flowers are from a retired Stampin Up set "Long Stemmed Flowers". I cut out the image and the scalloped frame using Spellbinders. Pierced the scallops. I ran the orange and white Vellum through the Cuttlebug with the Textiles folder. I layered the white vellum over top of a panel of orange vellum. I cut a smaller piece of embossed orange vellum for the bottom section. Matted the vellum with chocolate chip. Placed the flower panel underneath the brown polka dot ribbon. Sewed the edges of the Vellum Panel and ribbon. Made the bow and attached. I stamped the "Mother" sentiment on white, cut out sentiment with Stampin Up's word window punch, sponged edges. Coloured a wooden tooth pick with Orange marker - attached sentiment with glue dot and attached to card. I thought it looked like a little plant marker.
