Two ATC's for Today's MIX12 Mixed Media Challenge at SplitCoast Stampers

Tweet

Hello!

I created a couple of ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) for today's fun challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers. 

It is our Mix-Ability challenge that happens every Friday. This week, it's my friend Dina Kowal's turn to hostess. She asked us to use cool colors with a "pop" of warm or visa versa in her "POP! Goes You Color Wheel" challenge.

I will show my cards here, but you will have to head over to MY GALLERY at SplitCoast Stampers for all of the details of what I used and how I did it. ;)

Thanks for dropping by!

Join Us in Inky Antic's Easter Blog Hop!!!!

Hello Everyone and welcome to another Inky Antics blog hop!

If you've come here from sweet Debbie's blog, you're in the right place!
If you just happened on here, head on back to the Inky blog where it all starts!

Today the girls are sharing some darling new Easter sets with you.

I am using #11091MC "Bunny Parade" clear set, illustrated by the very talented Tammy DeYoung.

Last week I made several projects with this same set (SEE THEM HERE) but they were all very pastel pallets. I wanted to show what the set could look like done in brights today. Talk about two totally different looks from the same stamps!!!  ;)

I guess you could call this a multi-medium card because I used Copics on the sky and grass and Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol on the image. I kind of like the look.  :)

I also stamped and colored several images then fussy cut portions and popped them up with Helmar ZapDots for a 3D effect.

Notice the fun dots on the image background? I kind of CASEd that from my friend Lori Boyd.  I LOVE her coloring! :)

I used a white gel pen to add some extra highlights. The colors bled in and changed the ink from white to pink on the basket but it still works. ;)

The designer paper is from K&Company's - Abrianna stack, and the cardstocks are Discount Card Stock's - Brilliant White, Turquoise, and Violet.

The bright and pretty Orange Swirls ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used some #dd-135 Summer dew drops from The Robin's Nest to carry out the dots I have going on the image.

By the way....thank you Robin's Nest for all of the beautiful goodies you sent me to play with!

Make sure and leave a comment on all of the girl's blogs so you can get a chance at one of the two awesome Inky Antics prizes that will be given away. Only one entry per blog and the hop ends at midnight Central time on Sunday, March 25. The winners will be announced next Monday on the Inky blog, so make sure and check back to see if you are one of the winners!

Your next stop on the hop is my sweet friend Tex'x blog. I am sure he has something adorable to share with you! :)

Thanks so much for hopping by!

My Card Positioning System Card

Hi Everyone!

I created a card to represent Really Reasonable Ribbon because they are sponsoring Card Positioning Systems this week.

Here's my card...

The cardstock is Brilliant White and  Terrestrial Teal from Discount Card Stock.

The beautiful ribbon is Teal Shimmer Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used K&Company's Abrianna collection, The Robin's Nest's - Lullaby Teardrops and Chuckles Dewdrops, and a Prima - Gwendolyn's Woodpecker flower.

Here is the sketch we were to use for inspiration... 

Hope you will head on over to CPS and join in on the fun!

Art Glitter Design Team 2012 Audition card

Tweet

Hello Everyone!  

I created the card above for my design team audition for Art Glitter.

As always, I used elements from several of my other design teams to so this is really a multi DT card! :)

I used the "Large Trailing Butterflies" stamp that The Rubber Cafe sent me to play with. 

THANK YOU RUBBER CAFE!  :)

I stamped the image on to acetate with black StazOn, then used a clear gloss medium to adhere the gorgeous Art Institute glitters. I used their Ultra Fine Transparent's in Pretty Pink, Hibiscus, Mystery, Fresh Green, and Berren. After allowing some dry time, I went over the glitter and glaze with some gesso to make the butterflies opaque. 

I cut a frame from The Robin's Nest's - Terrific Teal chipboard and attached it to the acetate piece with Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. I used Helmar ZapDots to lift it up from the card front.  I then added some pretty pretty bling with the Pink Rhinestones and Nestabling Labels One Pink Rhinestones from Want2Scrap.

The cardstocks used are Brilliant White and Starburst Metallic from Discount Card Stock.

The beautiful Satin Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Wish me luck!  :)
