Hello friends! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here to share the most recent card that I finished for the IG Crafty Crew July Challenge (I'm a bit early) to make a cheer up or encouragement card using sequins and/or jewels.</div>

To start, I took a piece of watercolor paper (no idea what brand) and began blending several colors of Distress Ink: Festive Berries, Candied Apple, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I sprinkled water droplets over top and then spritzed Perfect Pearls lightly over the paper. After heat setting, I die cut the paper and made a shaker card. That's it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never separated the die set and after playing with them all together, I don't think I will ever cut them apart. haha</div>

Hello, friends! Today I'm here to share a card that I struggled with and ended up loving. Don't you love it when that happens? I used five stamp companies to finish this card but the animals and the sentiment are Mama Elephant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the card:</div>

To start, I began with the cats on stage. The stamp set is <a href="https://mamaelephant.com/products/little-cat-agenda" target="_blank">Little Cat Agenda</a> from <a href="https://mamaelephant.com/" target="_blank">Mama Elephant</a>. First, I die cut the stage out of Neenah Solar White 80 lb with the larger die from the <a href="http://prettypinkposh.com/" target="_blank">Pretty Pink Posh</a> die set, <a href="http://www.shopprettypinkposh.com/Window-Frames-p/dc30.htm" target="_blank">Window Frames</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After stamping the cats with <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp</a> (SSS), <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Simon-Says-Stamp-Premium-Ink-Pad-INTENSE-BLACK-ink065?currency=USD" target="_blank">Intense Black ink</a>, I put a piece of printer paper over the cats and drew a homemade spotlight stencil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After masking the kitties, I taped the stencil onto the stage and began lightly blending Distress Inks over the cats. I used the colors Wilted Violet, Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What happened next is why I was sure my little scene I created was done for. I was going for smokey, it ended up looking dirty and dark.</div>

Instead of giving up on it, I took the advice of a friend and colored in the cats and under their feet. She said that once I finished the coloring it might make more sense to me. I'm glad that for once I didn't pitch a failed idea in the garbage. </div>

To achieve the spotlight of color around their little bodies, I tried to use Copics but it wasn't working. Instead, I fashioned another stencil out of printer paper and lightly blended the same Distress inks on the floor.</div>

As you can see, the background isn't perfect but much improved. I decided after getting to this point that it worked for a moody atmosphere.</div>

Next, I used the straight stitched die from the die set, <a href="http://www.shopprettypinkposh.com/StitchedBorders2-p/dc07.htm" target="_blank">Stitched Borders 2</a> from <a href="http://prettypinkposh.com/" target="_blank">Pretty Pink Posh</a> to add another layer of stitching below the stage with some spare cardstock scraps. I rubbed Nuvo Embellishment Mousse in the color Peony Pink over the cardstock and adhered it to the stage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that, I used the stitched rectangle die from the <a href="https://mamaelephant.com/" target="_blank">Mama Elephant</a> dies, Femme Frames, to die cut a piece of <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Simon-Says-Stamp-Card-Stock-100-DARK-CHOCOLATE-DC7-63565?currency=USD" target="_blank">Dark Chocolate cardstock</a> from SSS. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fireworks are from the die set, Fireworks Bursts, from SSS, which I can no longer find on the website. I did some quick and simple coloring with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I also used one small stamp from the stamp set, <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Simon-Says-Clear-Stamps-BIRTHDAY-BITS-sss101544-sss101544?currency=USD" target="_blank">Birthday Bits</a>, from SSS, to add white and gold dots of color below the fireworks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I had my colored pencils out, I also added a bit more color to the instruments and I moved on.</div>

I ended up taking the easier route for this card and went with die cut grass. There is the tall grass die from <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/" target="_blank">Lawn Fawn</a>, <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/products/grassy-border" target="_blank">Grassy Border</a>, and the shorter grass die cut from <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/" target="_blank">My Favorite Things</a>, <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/die-namics-grassy-hills" target="_blank">Grassy Hills</a>. All I did was lightly blend some of the stage colors onto the cardstock with the addition of Black Soot on the scalloped border of the MFT die cut. Incidentally, that scallop border is another PPP die from the die set, <a href="http://www.shopprettypinkposh.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=stitched+borders+2&Submit=" target="_blank">Stitched Borders 2</a>.</div>

The sentiment and the animals are from the stamp sets, <a href="https://mamaelephant.com/products/woodland-gifts" target="_blank">Woodland Gifts</a> and <a href="https://mamaelephant.com/products/blogging-buddies" target="_blank">Blogging Buddies</a> from Mama Elephant. </div>

For the sentiment, all I did was stamp the sentiment inside the laptop screen and fussy cut the screen to make it look like a fan sign. All that was left was to put the card together, brush on a lot of Wink of Stella over the fireworks and I was done!</div>

Hello friends! I'm here to share a card I made using two stamp sets from <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/" target="_blank">My Favorite Things</a>, <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/bb-cool-cat" target="_blank">Cool Cat</a> and <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/bb-i-knead-you" target="_blank">I Knead You</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the card:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I made this card for my friend, Michelle (@michii00 on IG) that includes both of our cats. These stamp sets are adorable!<br />
<br />
This card was spur of the moment. I wasn't sure how I was going to make this card with all four cats so I decided to wing it.<br />
<br />
The ink I used to stamp the images is <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp</a>, <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Simon-Says-Stamp-Premium-Ink-Pad-INTENSE-BLACK-ink065?currency=USD" target="_blank">Intense Black</a> ink because, Copics.<br />
<br />
To start, I cut a piece of 80 lb Neenah Solar White in half the long way and worked from left to right. The only masking involved is the cat on the far left so I could have her sitting on the cushion and the cat with the yarn so I could tuck the yarn under his paw. Unusual for me to have so little masking on a card. haha<br />
<br />
I finally decided to give each cat their own little section so I would have more room to color our individual cats. Using a 0.5 Copic Multiliner, I drew a line to separate the first cat and began working on the next section. Using the MISTI stamping tool, I stamped the cat in the box and the sentiment at the same time, drew a line and moved on.<br />
<br />
After I finished the Copic coloring, I covered different sections and lightly blended Tumbled Glass or Abandoned Coral Distress Ink into the corners. After brushing a bit of clear Wink of Stella on the fish and the bows on the cats, I was finished.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've had some questions about which Copics I used so I will leave that information here:<br />
<br />
Copic colors used:<br />
<br />
E55, E35, E37, E57 - Cardboard Box<br />
<br />
R21, R22, R14, R27, N0, N2, - Cat bed<br />
<br />
R20, E50, YR20, E53 - Cat on the left (Emma)<br />
<br />
R00, R20, W1 - Fish<br />
<br />
B00, B0000 - Thought Bubble<br />
<br />
N0, N2, N4, R20 - Cat in the Box (Mini)<br />
<br />
E30, YR20, E53, R20 - Cat top right (Julius)<br />
<br />
N4, N6, N8 - Cat bottom right (Bentley)<br />
<br />
C00, C2, C4 or W1, W3, W5 - Floor under cats<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some additional photos of the finished card:<br />

Hello everyone! I'm here today to share a card I made with the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/bb-polynesian-paradise" target="_blank">Polynesian Paradise</a> stamp set from <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/" target="_blank">My Favorite Things</a>. This card is masking and Copic intensive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the card:</div>

To begin, I took an A2 size piece of Neenah Solar White 80 lb. and stamped the girl in the center of the paper. Then I began stamping the flowers, masking as I went along.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a photo I found online of a beach scene that I used for inspiration:</div>

After I started coloring the girl, I learned a valuable lesson that I had forgotten over the years.. Practicing coloring the image before coloring on the final piece! My coloring skills are a bit rusty. I was going for a nice suntan but she ended up looking like she had a bad sunburn so I colored her multiple times until I was finally happy with the skin tone.<br />

<br />
After finishing the Copic coloring, I die cut a piece of Neenah Desert Storm from the larger frame from the Femme Frames set from Mama Elephant and glued it to the card base before adhering the Copic panel.<br />
<br />
The final step was fussy cutting and adhering a few of the flowers and adding some sparkle to the pollen and the waist of her skirt with a few of the Wink of Stella colored glitter pens.<br />

Hello, friends!<br />
<br />
It took me roughly two weeks to remember the email I used to log into my blog. Good grief, after two years of not making a card I almost forgot how to create a blog post. haha<br />
<br />
I'm here today to share a card I made for a dear friend, Maggie (@rahzicrafts on IG) on June 1, 2018.<br />
<br />
I will be catching up and posting the cards I made recently on my blog over the next several days.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the card:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga3aLWV7JFjby2Ga6z5RP2blpO5LtmpGdUIwgd0daZ483FuYFBtjjm9iYWy8mpw5rWOZfskHfF6n7CGpCwzb76VfcPwQNiR1_4Eii8fq_aj2afL-Pf5fCcpUsKZiQ8hJ9iPDvRendhv93e/s1600/3913F172-9E7A-45EC-AA41-BCEB8E149AAE.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1257" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga3aLWV7JFjby2Ga6z5RP2blpO5LtmpGdUIwgd0daZ483FuYFBtjjm9iYWy8mpw5rWOZfskHfF6n7CGpCwzb76VfcPwQNiR1_4Eii8fq_aj2afL-Pf5fCcpUsKZiQ8hJ9iPDvRendhv93e/s640/3913F172-9E7A-45EC-AA41-BCEB8E149AAE.png" width="500" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
To start, I cut an A2 size panel out of Neenah Solar White 80 lb card stock and began stamping some images from the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/" target="_blank">My Favorite Things</a> stamp set, <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/bb-you-gnome-me" target="_blank">You Gnome Me</a>, using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black ink.<br />
<br />
I thought it would be fun to use large flowers to make the gnomes appear smaller so I picked the <a href="https://altenew.com/" target="_blank">Altenew</a> set, <a href="https://altenew.com/products/peony-bouquet" target="_blank">Peony Bouquet</a>. I masked the gnomes and the boot and began stamping the peonies and leaves using Altenew's Jet Black ink. For the top right flower, I used the mini Altenew inks in the colors: Frosty Pink, Coral Berry, and Ruby Red, and for the other two I used Coral Berry, Ruby Red and Grapevine.<br />
<br />
For the yellow flowers, I used Altenew ink colors: Warm Sunshine, Caramel Toffee and Paper Bag.<br />
<br />
For the leaves, I used Altenew ink colors: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades and Evergreen.<br />
<br />
The sentiment is from the My Favorite Things stamp set, Amazing. I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black and heat embossed it with Hero Arts Ultra Fine clear embossing powder.<br />
<br />
After sketching out a path for the gnomes and laying down a base for the grass, this is where I stood with the card:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3yAmLebuO9GcSfvtCwxLiK8MypSuuXpBdAskaSjaeBPpRxItAM6-_dLp0f0QbKljnuKw9bLOOTXd1Mw0IMTpKtyOCfc_MnzLMVdN1an5bzyjuh1bJECSyptPMOK4zig6xsZBaPBAxvREw/s1600/Maggie1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3yAmLebuO9GcSfvtCwxLiK8MypSuuXpBdAskaSjaeBPpRxItAM6-_dLp0f0QbKljnuKw9bLOOTXd1Mw0IMTpKtyOCfc_MnzLMVdN1an5bzyjuh1bJECSyptPMOK4zig6xsZBaPBAxvREw/s640/Maggie1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
As you can see from this photo, all the gnomes originally had blue hats but seeing as I rarely leave well enough alone, that changes as the card progresses. haha<br />
<br />
Next, I finished coloring the road, grass and boot with Copic markers. I didn't want to stamp even more flowers (I was all masked out) so I used my Copics to fill in the blank spaces above the flowers. I also used my Copics to add more depth to the leaves.<br />

I can't tell you how many images of gnomes and their clothing colors I saw before I settled on red, green and blue. While I was coloring, I started thinking about what it would be like if this is how people dressed. What a visual. I should probably start distracting myself with music while coloring. haha<br />
<br />
To finish, I colored the gnomes and like the pro I am, I neglected to finish shading their clothing in my haste to finish the card. Nonetheless, I am pleased with how it turned out. :)<br />

To begin, I took a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock and taped it to a hard board with painter's tape. Using two colors from the Sakura Koi Watercolors travel set, I saturated the paper with water and dropped on the paint, allowing the colors to blend together. Then I used my heat tool to dry the paper before layering on more color. </div>

When I was happy with the background, I used the largest scallop die from the Fancy Frame Dies set to die cut the panel. After that, I worked on the images. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Solar White and colored them with various Copic markers. I fussy cut the cats and die cut the umbrella with its coordinating die.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I used a die from the Pocket Pieces Hello Dies to give the cats a place to sit. I borrowed this idea from CDD DT member <a href="http://www.itsallcutanddie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Laurie</a>. I loved how she used the die a few months back and thought it wouldn't take too much away from the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I adhered the dies and the cats with foam tape, added the sequins using Multi Medium Matte and worked on the sentiment.</div>

The sentiment also came from the Lovies stamp set. I stamped it with Hero Arts Unicorn White but it didn't stand out enough so I went over the text with a white gel pen. The result is not my favorite but I didn't want to make it worse so it stayed. haha</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm here to share a card using the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/busy-bees/" target="_blank">Busy Bees</a> stamp set and two CDD die sets; <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/fancy-frame-dies/" target="_blank">Fancy Frame Dies</a> and <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/pocket-pieces-hello-dies/" target="_blank">Pocket Pieces Hello Dies</a>.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To start, I die cut the splattered Distress Ink panel using the three largest dies from the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/fancy-frame-dies/" target="_blank">Fancy Frame Dies</a> set. Then I did the same thing with black cardstock. I replaced the middle section of the splattered panel with black cardstock, inlayed the die cuts together and glued them to the black card base.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next, I stamped the bee and flowers from the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/busy-bees/" target="_blank">Busy Bees</a> stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black, fussy cut them out and colored them with various Copic markers. I adhered them to the panel with low profile foam squares.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I die cut the word, Hello, from the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/pocket-pieces-hello-dies/" target="_blank">Pocket Pieces Hello Dies Set</a> with the same black cardstock. To make the Hello die cut the same height as the flowers and the bee, I cut the same foam squares in smaller pieces and used Multi Medium Matte to the spots that would lay over the flowers to hold it in place. For a final touch, I brushed Clear Wink of Stella on the flower centers and the bee's wings and I was done. </span></div>

I couldn't resist making a card with this cute little skunk and using the Love die from the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/heart-of-heart-dies/" target="_blank">Heart of Heart Dies</a> set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To start, I took a panel of Neenah Solar White and started flicking different colors of Distress Inks onto the paper. I used: Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon. I keep using them together and I keep loving it! I wanted the colors to have a bit of shimmer to them so I added some Perfect Pearls to the Mermaid Lagoon and flicked it on the panel a bit more. I probably went overboard but I admit it, I was having fun!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to use the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/fancy-frame-dies/" target="_blank">Fancy Frame Dies</a> in a way I hadn't used them before so I used the two scalloped dies in the set and die cut them together to save time. To assemble the card, I simply adhered the outside of the die cut panel directly to the card base. To make the middle of the die cut panel higher, I adhered it with one strip of foam tape. For the center of the die cut panel, I adhered it using two strips of foam tape together so it was higher than the rest. The photo above shows the dimension much better than my final photo and you can see the sparkle from the Perfect Pearls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The theme of this Linky is Hearts so I decided to pull out my extra hearts from the few times I've die cut the large heart from the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/heart-of-heart-dies/" target="_blank">Heart of Heart Dies</a>. Going along with the colors on the background, I colored the hearts to match using Copic Markers and set them aside. I have to add, having extra hearts laying around has been very convenient! Another reason to love the new die set!</div>

This little skunk is so cute. After second generation stamping him on Neenah Solar White, I colored him with various Copic Markers and filled in his eyes and smile with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. I wanted him to have a place to stand on the card without free floating so I decided to have him stand on the Love arrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I die cut the Love arrow out of sparkly blue-green cardstock and then several times from black cardstock so I could layer the paper and give it some dimension as well. After fussy cutting the skunk, I adhered him with foam tape to stand atop the Love arrow.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>For my first project, I made a tag with the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/stitched-in-circle-dies/" target="_blank">Stitched in Circle Dies</a> and the hedgehogs from the new Lovies stamp set. </b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br></b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Using the three largest dies, I began die cutting circles out of Neenah Solar White and adhered the two pieces together on the back so they stayed as one piece. So there wasn't too much white around the shaker, I used Copic Y02 around part of the die cut to add a pop of color.</b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br></b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>To make the shaker, I sacrificed a stamp envelope and die cut it with the largest die from the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/stitched-in-circle-dies/" target="_blank">Stiched in Circle Dies</a>. After receiving the heart sequins, I had an idea to make a shaker with the blue for the sky and the green for the grass. I easily achieved this by using my Fuse tool to make the divide to keep the two colors separate, sealed it and set it aside.</b></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 19.32px;">Next, I wanted to try no line coloring on the hedgehogs so I second generation stamped them with Antique Linen Distress Ink and colored them with various Copic markers. For the sentiment, I stamped, "Hedge over heels for you," on a scrap of Neenah Solar White in Versafine Onyx Black. I cut the scrap piece of paper down, cut a quick banner and adhered it to the shaker.</b></div>

<b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 19.32px;">After adhering everything together, I liked the shaker so much that I didn't want to put it on a card base. I ended up making it a tag. I had never made a tag until now so although it's probably a bit large, I'm happy with the end result! :)</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 19.32px;">I started by masking off the edges of the card base about an inch in on all sides. I wanted to try using the Distress Ink color, Wilted Violet for the sky and I blended Shabby Shutters and Twisted Citron into the ground. To soften the harsh line I had created with the mask, I brought out several colors of green Copics and began flicking them randomly over the Distress Ink.</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To start, I took a piece of watercolor paper and blended Blueprint Sketch and Salty Ocean Distress Inks into the background. After sprinkling drops of water on the ink, I patted the water off with a paper towel. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, I used the largest die from <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/fancy-frame-dies/" target="_blank">Fancy Frame Dies</a> to die cut the panel. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When the ink was dry, I heat embossed the sentiment, Wishing you the merriest holiday season, from the stamp set, </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/tis-the-season/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Tis The Season</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, using Hero Arts Embossing Powder in White. When I brushed off the anti-static powder from the panel, I used a white gel pen to draw snow on the background.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the snow, I decided I would use two of the Stitched Scallop Dies because let's face it, die cut looks better than hand cut with scissors. :) One of my friends brought it to my attention that these dies have double piercing between the stitched lines. I love the look of it! And I can't believe I didn't see it before.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The critter I decided to use for this card comes from one of my favorite CDD stamp sets, <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/chilly/" target="_blank">Chilly</a>. Isn't this bunny just darling? I stamped the bunny on Neenah Solar White 80 lb and lightly colored with various Copic markers. I colored a shadow and bunny prints with Copics and adhered the bunny to the Stitched Scalloped watercolor cardstock, finishing the bunny by adding white gel pen dots to him as well.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To finish off the card, I taped the two pieces of stitched scallops together, positioned the scalloped frame die over them and die cut them together. When they came out, they matched the scalloped panel. After I adhered everything to the card, I was finished! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is a simple card because I wanted the sentiment, Very Merry Christmas, to stand out. It's big and bold so why not show it off?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I heat embossed the sentiment using WOW Gold Rich Pale embossing powder on a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper. I wanted to add a snowflake so I chose the snowflake with a heart in the center from the stamp set, <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/chilly/" target="_blank">Chilly</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used four Distress Inks: Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, and Chipped Sapphire. I also used some gold shimmer and white shimmer from my Gansai Tambi watercolors.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For this card, I used, </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/tis-the-season/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Tis The Season</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/elf-made/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Elf Made</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, along with two die sets, </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/fancy-frame-dies/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Fancy Frame Dies</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/stitched-scallop-dies/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Stitched Scallop Dies</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Using one of the dies from the Stitched Scallop set, I die cut the panel at an angle, taped the two pieces of paper together again and die cut the panel again using the largest scallop frame from the Fancy Frame set. Then I separated the two panels and blended Twisted Citron Distress Ink into the lower panel. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the background, I used three snowflakes from the </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/chilly/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Chilly</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> stamp set and two Hero Arts Shadow Inks, Green Hills and Soft Green.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hello and Happy Sunday!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Today I am showcasing the new mini stamp set,</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/tons/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Tons</a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">, and two die sets, </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/stitched-in-circle-dies/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Stitched in Circles Dies</a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/stitched-scallop-dies/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Stitched Scallop Dies</a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">. When I saw this little elephant, I thought it would be fun to make it look like he (or she) was leaning out of the circle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">This stamp reminds me of a pink stuffed animal that I had when I was little so of course I had to color the elephant pink! haha </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To start, I colored the images with various copic markers and stamped the tiny hearts from the stamp set several times. I ended up using three small hearts above the elephant's trunk. I die cut the circles with the </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/stitched-in-circle-dies/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Stitched in Circles Dies</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and Die cut the hearts panel with one of the </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/stitched-scallop-dies/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Stitched Scallop Dies</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I created the background blending Picked Raspberry Distress Ink out from behind the circles into the top of the card and lightly blending Picked Raspberry behind the hearts panel. The larger hearts are from the </span><a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/chilly/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Chilly</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> stamp set, stamped with Ultra Pink and Soft Pink inks from Hero Arts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used the stamp sets, <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/chilly/" target="_blank">Chilly</a> and <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/tis-the-season/" target="_blank">'Tis The Season</a> and the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/fancy-frame-dies/" target="_blank">Fancy Frame Dies</a> for this card. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Originally, I had planned to make this card a shaker but couldn't bring myself to cover it all up with acetate. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To start, I stamped the sentiment, Hope your holiday sparkles, with Versamark Ink. I sprinkled Liquid Platinum embossing powder from Ranger, tapped off the excess and melted it with my heat tool. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next, I stamped snowflakes from the Chilly stamp set with Versamark Ink and sprinkled white embossing powder from Ranger. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After I was happy with the arrangement of snowflakes around the sentiment, I decided to stamp the bear with second generation stamping using Rich Cocoa Memento Ink. I covered the bear with a 2mm Molotow masking pen and when that was dry, began working on my background.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used the colors Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio to blend into the background, using a light hand in the center around the masked bear. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After I gently removed the masking fluid, I didn't want the bear to look like he was floating so I decided to mask him again with a post it note. I used Unicorn White Ink from Hero Arts and a sponge dauber to make a snowy hill on which the bear could stand. There wasn't enough dimension for me so I took my Copic Opaque White and built it up around the bears feet as well.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next, I colored the bear with various Copic markers. I wasn't entirely happy with the bear's head so I decided to stamp the hat that comes in the Chilly stamp set with the same Rich Cocoa second generation stamping. I also colored the hat with Copics and fussy cut it out, using Tombo Mono Multi glue to adhere it onto the bear. I did not use Tombo Mono on the strings for the hat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To make this a snowy scene, I used a Uniball Signo Broad White gel pen to make it look like snow was falling, including over the bear and the hat. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the heat embossed snowflakes, I used a Sakura Stardust Glitter Pen to make dots of sparkle around the snowflakes and in the center. To accentuate the sparkle, I used high, small dots of Glossy Accents. I also used tiny dots of Glossy Accents on the bears eyes and nose.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Using the Fancy Frame Dies, I die cut some silver glitter cardstock with the largest die in the set and adhered the two panels together with Tombo Extreme Adhesive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the card base, I used Smoke cardstock and wrapped some pretty ribbon around it before I adhered my panel with Scotch Foam tape. Or as Sandy Allnock calls it, The Precious. haha</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Going along with the theme of, Make it Sparkle, I brushed Clear Wink of Stella over the snow where the bear is standing and over the sentiment. I would not suggest using the Wink of Stella over the white gel pen or Copic Opaque White. I learned that the Wink of Stella will start to pick up and move around the white, making lovely clumps of sparkle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To show the dimension of the Glossy Accents and the snow, I took a picture underneath my lamp that I use to color. I have decided that I need to put things down at night and look at them again in the morning. I was convinced that I ruined my card with the Glossy Accents but it turned nicely in the daylight.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used the stamp sets, <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/the-great-outdoors/" target="_blank">The Great Outdoors</a> and <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/deer-friends/" target="_blank">Deer Friends</a> to create this scene.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To start, I used the largest die in the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/fancy-frame-dies/" target="_blank">Fancy Frame Dies</a> set to cut a panel out of Neenah Solar White 80 lb.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, I stamped</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> the bear, fire and bunny with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and masked them off so I could work on the background with Distress Inks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I heat embossed the sentiment by stamping in Versamark Ink, sprinkling with Gold Fine Detail Embossing Powder from Ranger and melting it with my heat tool.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After scribbling some trees in the background and adding stars with a white gel pen, I was finished with the panel and ready to add it to a card base. Since the sentiment says s'mores, I decided to have fun with it and layer the papers in s'mores fashion. Desert Storm, Solar White, Dark Chocolate and a Desert Storm card base.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For my second card using the Chilly stamp set, I decided to make a shaker using the hat and snowflakes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love to knit so I was excited to see this hat! I used a smaller die from the Fancy Frame Dies set to cut out a piece of Neenah Solar White and stamped the hat with Memento Tuxedo Black. The hat was colored with various Copic markers. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I brushed Clear Wink of Stella over the red areas on the hat.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> To add a small border, I used a Sakura Stardust Glitter Pen. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> For the background of the shaker, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I pulled out some papers from Pink Fresh Studio and stamped several of the snowflakes from the stamp set on the paper using Hero Arts Unicorn White. I wanted to use the sentiment, Warmest Wishes, and a snowflake on the acetate so I used Stazon Opaque White so it would stay put.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Hello and Happy Thursday!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I'm sharing a Halloween card using <a href="http://mftstamps.com/bb-witch-way-is-the-candy" target="_blank">Witch Way is the Candy?</a> from My Favorite Things. This is a stamp set I received last year and all I did was color the images. I thought since it's that time again I would make an actual card! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To start, I wanted to create a background using the oh-so fun ink smooshing technique. Using my Gansai Tambi watercolors, I used a paintbrush to pick up the color and made a small watercolor puddle on my craft sheet. Next, I used a stamp envelope to pick up the color and place and smoosh it onto the watercolor cardstock. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I repeated this until I liked my background.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This sheet of cardstock was 5x7 so I cut it down to a quarter inch smaller than an A2 size. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To prepare a shaker window, I used two Simon Says Stamp <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=313635" target="_blank">Stitched Rectangle dies</a>. I used <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=297103" target="_blank">Tombo Extreme Adhesive</a> to adhere the acetate to the window and adhere the watercolor panel to the card base. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the sequins, I used Jack-o'-Lantern and Trick or Treat from Little Things from Lucy's Cards. I also added a couple of black cat sequins from the Spellbound sequin pack. These sequin packs have so much included that I wanted to dump the whole bag into the shaker area! haha</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I chose the sentiment, A Halloween Hello. I die cut a banner and cut it down so it was small enough to fit in the corner. Then I heat embossed the sentiment using Versamark ink and Hero Arts White embossing powder. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I die cut a few spiders out of black cardstock using the Scary Spiders from Memorybox. I am absolutely terrified of spiders so why I have this die in my possession is a mystery. I kept checking to make sure I had the paper spiders and I wasn't accidentally picking up a real spider! Oh, the joys of living in Colorado. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The only thing left was to add the images I colored last year.

Now to mail this out as soon as possible!</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Hello and Happy Tuesday! </b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday was Day 2 of the sneak peeks for the October stamp release at <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/" target="_blank">Craftin Desert Divas!</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have 4 new stamp sets for this release and 2 new die sets designed by our own design team member, Leah! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am showcasing the stamp set, Chilly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have created a card using the walrus, ice and the new Mini Banner Die.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdpX8px6weSkIGRzGabB_QdSeTK0-bcKaidXIInmsETK6k4_6T-RC74m6cvTSlY_ChAcaEiQ4wOOjMXoS0yCLHH7_1lQ872LiITW1pEOZTr0YqSXR37yOq8pcxHQx57KBERUkhKce8qxUU/s1600/You+Melt+My+Heart+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdpX8px6weSkIGRzGabB_QdSeTK0-bcKaidXIInmsETK6k4_6T-RC74m6cvTSlY_ChAcaEiQ4wOOjMXoS0yCLHH7_1lQ872LiITW1pEOZTr0YqSXR37yOq8pcxHQx57KBERUkhKce8qxUU/s400/You+Melt+My+Heart+2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To begin, I stamped the walrus on Neenah Solar White and masked it before I stamped the ice to make it look like the walrus is sitting on top. Next, I fussy cut the walrus and the ice and colored them with various Copic markers. To give the walrus some texture, I added colorless blender to a rag and pounced the rag on the walrus a few times. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To make the layers for the card, I used several dies from the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/fancy-frame-dies/" target="_blank">Fancy Frame Dies</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used the sentiment, You melt my heart. I cut a strip of vellum and heat embossed the sentiment using Versamark ink and Hero Arts white embossing powder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the water, I blended Mermaid Lagoon and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink into the background. After that, I adhered the walrus and ice with foam tape and adhered the vellum on the back of the panel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the upper half of the panel, I stamped several of the snowflakes with Sea Glass ink. I stamped the heart with Raspberry Jam shadow ink and colored it in with Copics, adding Clear Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents over the top. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I die cut a piece of patterned paper with the new Mini Banner Die and adhered it to the panel. It's such a fun die! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After that, I added <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/snow-palace-sequins/" target="_blank">Snow Palace sequins</a>, adhered the panels and I was finished! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used the stamp sets, <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/boo/" target="_blank">Boo</a>, and <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/hallo-scream/" target="_blank">Hallo-scream</a>, from the release the beginning of October.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To begin, I stamped the big Boo from the stamp set and masked it off so I could stamp the pumpkins behind the Boo. Then I used my Molotow pens in 2mm and 4mm sizes to protect the images from the watercolor on the background. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the background, I tried to match the colors in the photo with my Distress Inks and ended up using Scattered Straw, Ripe Persimmon, Barn Door, Aged Mahogany and Walnut Stain. I dried the background with my heat gun in between adding more color until I achieved the color saturation I was after. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I added drops and splatters of water and picked up the water with a paper towel. Some of the drops I left on longer than others to pick up more color. I also added individual, smaller drops of water to specific areas that I felt needed more interest. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After rubbing off the Molotow, I began coloring the images. I am not very comfortable with coloring images with watercolor, mostly because I don't enjoy watching paint dry. haha Having said that, I am learning to paint one area and while that is drying, move on to another image to color. It seems to work out much better this way. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To color the pumpkins, I used two Distress Inks: Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I'm sharing a card I made with the stamp set, <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/owl-idays/" target="_blank">Owl-idays</a> from <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/" target="_blank">Craftin Desert Divas.</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These little owls are adorable! I decided to make a sweet scene using three of the owls and a stack of presents. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To start, I stamped and masked the presents before stamping the owls over them so it looked like the owls were standing on the presents, behind the bows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used my Copics to color the images and paper piecing for the presents using a paper pack called Altitude from Bo Bunny. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I repeatedly stamped the present on the patterned paper and on Neenah Solar White so I could do a bit of copic coloring on the ribbon. There was quite a bit of fussy cutting involved on this card but I feel it was well worth the effort.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I chose the sentiment, A Jolly Hello, from the stamp set because I thought the script worked perfectly for this card. I stamped the sentiment using a Hero Arts Mid-Tone Shadow Ink in the color, Grape Juice.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/hallo-scream/" target="_blank">Hallo-scream</a> Stamp set from the new CDD release to create this card. The bats and moon is such a fun stamp and I decided it would be perfect for this Linky Party Theme! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To begin, I cut a piece of orange distressed patterned paper from the paper pack, Grand Bazaar from Basic Grey, to a standard A2 size. I thought it would be fun to try and create a spooky background so I tried something new to me. I took my Versamark ink pad and randomly swiped it along the outside edge of the patterned paper. I didn't bother with using my anti static tool because a spooky Halloween card doesn't need to be clean. After that, I sprinkled Super Fine Detail Black Embossing Powder from Ranger over the inked areas and melted it with my heat tool. Such a fun effect! To further distress the background, I lightly blended Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges as well and moved on to the stamping.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The background has a lot of deep black shine thanks to the embossing powder. When I stamped the moon, the black ink I used looked dull and flat next to the embossed areas so I decided to re-stamp the moon with Versamark and the black embossing powder. Keeping in the realm of deep black and shiny, I decided to use Versamark ink and a Versamarker with the same black embossing powder throughout the rest of the card. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, because this is a Things With Wings theme, I stamped extra moons and fussy cut all of the bats. After I cut them out, I colored the bats with a black Zig Clean Color Real Brush pen and used clear foam tape to adhere them to the background. I also colored the moon with two colors over the patterned paper. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With the Versamarker, I drew shaky lines and heat embossed the lines black. The bottom right corner seemed empty so I quickly drew a haunted house over vellum and cut it out with my craft knife. I had other ideas that weren't panning out so I simply colored the vellum front and back with the black Zig Clean Color Pen and used Tombo Mono Multi Glue to adhere it to the panel. I used an orange Zig to color in the windows and when the Tombo Mono dried, I sprinkled Martha Stewart Crafts crystal fine glitter over the house and rubbed it in with my finger. The base of the vellum clashed with the black embossing so I pulled out some black enamel accents and used the tip to smear it in an upwards motion. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For my second sneak peek, I used the Bride of Frankenstein from the Hallo-scream stamp set. I colored her using Copic markers and Wink of Stella. I'm almost positive this is the first time I haven't used an actual skin color on an image of a person. Fun!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been on a watercolor kick lately for backgrounds. This time I decided to use Neenah 80 lb cardstock and blend three colors into the cardstock. I used Mowed Lawn, Dusty Concord and Black Soot. I tried not to blend them too much in the center because I didn't want to make mud! I lightly blended Black Soot around the outside of the two colors. Next, I dripped big water droplets onto the blended distress ink and quickly dabbed it up with a paper towel. After that, I pulled out my Gansai Tambi Watercolors and splattered a tiny bit of Gold (No. 91) and Silver (No. 95) across the background. Finally, I stamped the two star stamps that come in this stamp set with Versamark Ink and sprinkled the stars with Ranger Gold embossing powder, melting them with my heat gun. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the sequins, I used two new mixes, Hocus Pocus and Witches Brew. In the Hocus Pocus mix, there are these tiny, adorable stars that are just darling. Aren't they sweet? For the bats, I stamped the moon and the bats several times, fussy cut them out and colored them a deep grey with my Copics. I decided to adhere them in place instead of having them float around in the shaker. I did so with Multi Medium Matte. After I put the card together, I used my gold gel pen to draw dash lines all around the circle in the panel and I was finished!</span></div>
