Lucille's Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas friends!

I am on the Stamp AnnieThing blog today with a special card creation for Christmas. 

I used Lucille - What A Deer and coloured her with my Copic markers. I actually coloured her during a Facebook Live on my Stampin' Steve Facebook Page a while back.

I have been spending a lot of time lately trying to learn how to use my Silhouette...so in order to practice, I designed all the elements using my Silhouette. I am pretty happy with the results.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and I will see you real soon!

Stamp AnnieThing September Release - Day One

Hi and welcome to Day #1 of 

Stamp Anniething's September Release!

Tommy will be available in the store Friday along with the other 2 stamps we show you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I had a lot of fun creating this card. I will admit I was a little stumped initially as to what I was going to create with this stamp. However the the wheels turned and I decided to put a Pizza spin on this image.

I started by Colouring Tommy with my Copics using the following colours.  

Copics

Hair - YR23, YR24, E99

Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00, E50, R20

Shirt - 110, T9, T7, T6, T4

Jeans - B99, B97, B95, B93, B91

Pizza Box - R35, R37, R39, G24, G28, G29, E55, E53, E51

Once he was finished, I cut him out with my Brother Scan N Cut and popped him up with foam tape on the card base. 

I created a card layout that was inspired by the themes I imagined would come from old fashioned Pizza parlour. Therefore I went with red plaid pattern paper, warm browns as if from the pizza box itself and then decided to throw in some green as well. I created my own sentiment and used the Silhouette Cameo 3 to cut it out. I then layered everything together, added a heart die cut that I had laying around and finished the card with some black bakers twine. 

Thank you for joining us, we hope you enjoyed our projects for this release! Grazie!!

Card Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone! It's my day to post at Stamp AnnieThing and I have a fun card to share. I used the Julie-Ahoy Matey stamp set for my challenge card. The theme for this challenge is a card sketch.

I decided to create a scene card inspired from the card sketch and man did I have a lot of fun creating this one. I created the ships wheel and the railing on my Silhouette Cameo. I really enjoyed creating these original elements for my card using my Silhouette. I did some ink blending with my Distress Inks on some Tim Holtz woodgrain card stock to create this ships deck. I also ink blended the background to set me scene as if Julie is sailing at dusk.I coloured Julie image with my Copic Markers and popped her up with some foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed my card!

Until next time - Stephen
