Bellariffic Friday Challenge - Vintage

Happy Friday Friends! I have another card creation to share with you today. This time its for the Bellariffic Friday challenge happening over on the Stamping Bella blog. This weeks challenge is "Vintage" and the design team was challenged to use any stamp set not from the recent release.

I pulled out the Cacti stamp set and the accompanying Cut It Out dies. 

I coloured the images with my Copic markers and added gold details to the pots using a gold gel pen. To carry through with the gold, I masked off  square area on my card  base and used some gold Nuvo Mousse to create a backdrop for my freshly coloured and die cut images.

I hope you like my card creation for this weeks Bellariffic challenge. Be sure to stop by the Bella blog to see what the rest if the design team created.

Until next time - Stephen 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - January Previews Day 4

Hi Friends! Welcome to the final day of previews for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps 

Today I get to share a beautiful new sentiment stamp set that is a must have for any stamp collection. This was designed by artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen.

This is a rarity for me...can you believe I created a card with no colouring on it!? I know...but it was so fun to be able to break out of my comfort zone and do something so different for me. I created some vary quick and simple cards that anyone can whip up, if you so happen to need an encouragement card last minute. I used pattern papers with a watercolour look to them and die cut them out using stitched rectangle dies. I heat embossed the sentiments from the stamp set using white embossing powder overtop of kraft card stock then die cut them as well, but this time with a circle stitched die. To embellish the cards, I simple used various die cuts from my collection as well as some ribbons, gel pen accents and some gold floss. Quick, easy and simple.
