I so love my Rubbermoon stamps and these 4 cards were such fun to make. All of the images were coloured with Prismacolour pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. I find that Prismacolour pencils really are the best pencils crayons for this technique.
Have a super day!
I was definitely on a roll when I did these cards. I followed the same process for each of them; painting the rubber stamp with H2Os, slightly misting with a mini mister and then stamping on to white cardstock. My Cuttlebug definitely got a workout too. LOL
I think I like the last one the best. How about you? Do you have a favourite?
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Here’s another scenic card. I’ve used various scenic stamps for this one. The image is coloured with a combination of Adirondack dye inks and Distress inks.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a great weekend!
This card was done on an alcohol ink background and once again I’ve used the new Stampscapes stamps my sister gave me. I just love these stamps and am having a great time playing with them.
This is a new set of Stampscapes stamps that my sister Susan gave me for my birthday. I absolutely love them and couldn’t wait until my birthday next week to use them.
The image is stamped on matte cardstock, coloured with Adirondack dye inks and highlighted with Prismacolour pencil crayons.
Technique: Direct to Paper
Inks: Distress & Vivid
Stamps: Inkadinkadoo
No matter the season I love to make cards featuring flowers and butterflies. This image, from The Stamp Barn, has been stamped twice, heat embossed with gold embossing powder and coloured in with Tombow markers. The butterflies have been cut out and glued with silicone to produce a 3D effect. I distressed the edges using Tim Holtz’s distressing tool and added a little Chocolate Tombow marker.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
I’m not sure who makes this stamp as I don’t own it. My friend gave me a few stamped and embossed images to practice my watercolouring and I’m having SO much fun playing with the various types of watercolours that are available. This image was painted using tube paints and I added some Stardust Stickles just because I love lots of sparkle.
Thanks for stopping by!
This is the second card from the make and take at our Sunday stamp club get together.
I don’t use glitter very often as it is SO messy, but this one was “controllable” as I used double sided tape and a paintbrush to apply the glitter.
I’ll have to stop by the local stamp store and see if they have any of these yummy decorations by Harmonie.
Have a good day and thanks for stopping by.
Harmonie came to visit our stamp club on Sunday and we were able to make 2 cards. I actually took my fixins home with me and put the cards together at my leisure.
The image was coloured with Tombow markers and I just happened to have a Friendship Peel-Off (Magenta). I’m quite pleased with the way it turned out, considering I haven’t had a lot of practice using Tombows.
I’m also trying out a new photo editing program (Google’s Picasa) and this is my first attempt. Not too bad, eh? What do you think?
I’ll show you the second card tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by!
Today I was inspired by Michelle Zindorf to play with a technique I hadn’t done in ages.
Here are a couple of cards I made. 
I used both sponge daubers and household sponges
When I saw this stamp from Rubbermoon I just had to have it! If you are like me, you hate panty hose and I would rather stay home than put those “beasts” on. Thank goodness I can go to work in jeans! I can also relate to the lady eating those chocolates (also Rubbermoon). Yummy!!!!
The image was colored with Prismacolor pencil crayons and Taltine (OMS) and mounted to layers of c/s cut with Spellbinders dies. The small scallop punch at the top and bottom is from EK Success. The background paper is from Magenta.
I can’t believe that summer is almost over. This is the first autumn card I’ve made. The chipboard tree is colored with Distress ink and I’ve added some Flower Soft to resemble autumn leaves.
I absolutely love this image from Magenta. They really do make the most awesome stamps captivating so much detail. There really isn’t a lot one has to do to have their images ready for a card. I sponged on a little Distress ink and that was it. Matched with the perfect papers, and voila an instant card. (I didn’t choose the papers or image. This was from my last Bar au Cartes class at the local ss).
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
Here’s another Stampingbella stamp and once again colored with Prismacolor and Taltine. I’m not sure who makes the background paper, but it sure is loverly, eh?
Have a super day and thanks for popping in!
Are you seeing a pattern here? LOL. Another purple fairy card. I love this Stampingbella stamp She’s just too cute! I’ve used Prismacolor pencil crayons and Taltine (OMS) once again. Really, I will try something else soon, but this just works so darn well for me. The punch for the border is from Martha Stewart and the corner punch is by EK Success. I’ve also added a small Magenta stamp to the background .
Please stop by again. And of course, your comments are always much appreciated.
Creative hugs,
Dianne
I’m not sure why, but I seem to be buying/borrowing a lot of fairy stamps lately. Maybe it’s because I’m a grandma now and am loving the “cute” LOL.
This Stampingbella stamp is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Taltine (OMS).
Hope this has inspired some of you to do some stamping today!
Basic Grey has the most awesome papers and I spotted this sheet at my local ss and JUST HAD TO HAVE IT!
I took another sheet of brown background paper and added some Distress Soot Black and distressed the edges a bit. I then added some Peel Offs that I colored here and there with an olive green Touch marker. I painted the boat with some US Artquest Mica Magic watercolor paints. A real quick card but it does have some punch to it and would make a perfect guy card, don’t you think?
Have a super day!
I just love Estelle’s stamps. You should really take a look at all the wonderful stamps offered at Stampsmith.
I stamped Serena on glossy cardstock using Ancient Page ink and added just a hint of color with my Tombow markers.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.
