Buck Scene

Hello! This week, the Stampendous Design Team is sharing "Holiday Leftovers." Projects that we made for the holidays that we haven't had an opportunity to share yet. My card for today features the stamp called "Buck Scene." I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge. The theme is "Warm Winter Wishes." My complete instructions are below.

Supplies:
Stampendous:
P323: Buck Scene
EP231: Lapis Pearlustre Embossing Powder
Acrylic Handle

Other:
My Colors Cardstock: Ocean Side
Artist's Loft: Watercolor Paper
Imagine: VersaMark Ink
Ranger: Distress Oxide Inks in Wilted Violet, Salty Ocean, Black Soot, Seedless Preserves, and Faded Jeans
Scrapbook Adhesives: EZ Runner
Round Brush
Anti-Static Powder Tool
Water Spritzer Bottle

Directions: 
1. Cut a piece of watercolor paper down to 4" x 5 1/4."

2. Apply all of the Distress Oxide Inks (except Black Soot) to an Acrylic Handle and spritz with water.

3. Using a round brush, apply some water to the watercolor paper, and then begin to apply the wet inks to the paper randomly, concentrating color in the center.

4. Use a heat tool to speed up the drying process.

5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until the desired look is achieved.

6. Apply Black Soot Oxide Ink to the background using your preferred technique.

7. Apply more of the original colors on top, if desired.


8. Once the background is dry, use and anti-static powder tool all over the background to prevent the embossing powder from sticking where it shouldn't.

9. Stamp the Buck Scene in the center of the background with VersaMark Ink.

10. Sprinkle Lapis Pearlustre embossing powder on top of the stamped image, shake off excess, and heat set.

11. Create the card base out of Ocean Side cardstock, cut to 4 1/4" x 11."

12. Adhere the watercolored and stamped layer to the card base.

This is a very quick card to make, as you don't need to spend time coloring anything in. If you are someone that always has some pre-made backgrounds on hand, the Buck Scene stamp may be perfect for easy holiday cards for you. I'll have some more "Holiday Leftovers" throughout the week, so I hope you will visit again. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts.  This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink. And ...

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
