Imagine Dragons

Welcome to another Wednesday and my card for One Crazy Stamper.  The design team divas are showcasing the wonderful new release "A Magical Day" from High Hopes Stamps, and when I first saw these cute dragons I just couldn't wait to color them!!

This is "Dragon Pals" have I stamped with Cement Grey Memento Ink on to Copic Xpress it cardstock and then colored with Copics.  The dots on the large dragon were done with a green gel pen, and I used a clear Wink of Stella brush on the wings of all three characters.  The sentiment is also from High Hopes Stamps and is available here.  I inked the sky with Tumbled Glass distress ink, the hills were done with Bundled Sage, and the castle was inked with Hickory Smoke distress ink.  The stencils were from My Favorite Things and Tim Holtz ( the stone work on the castle ), and the castle is a die from My Favorite Things.

Card Recipe - BG11, BG13, BG15, BV01, BV02, BV04, RV52, RV55, B02, B05

Beach Try-fold card

Hello stampers!  I'm kicking off the month of May with a bright & fun Try-fold card using Art Impressions Beach TF Set:

 When I saw these Doodlebug papers in the One Crazy Stamper store - I knew immediately which stamp set I'd use!  The card base is just a flat rectangle of patterned paper, and when the ribbon is untied, this is how it opens:

I tried to colour the signs as though they were weathered with fading paint!

 The stamp set includes all three beachy images, plus the sentiment: "may your life be filled with blessings as countless as the grains of sand" - and includes complete stamping/cutting instructions.  After colouring, I glued some patterned paper to the back of the two side panels to cover up where the markers bled through.  There are several Try-fold stamp sets in the OCS store - so you'll want to check those out!

Skippy and Bobbin

I am sharing the sweet Whimsy image, Skippy and Bobbin, designed by Elizabeth Bell today!  It's about -20 outside right now, with a wicked windchill, so it was lovely to pull out some bright & summery colours to chase away the nasty weather...

I tried something a little different with this image, I stamped it in London Fog Memento ink (a medium grey) instead of my usual black, and it made for a much softer image overall.  And since she's gazing away from us, I made the light source coming straight at her from the distance (clear as mud?)  Here's a close-up:

I've popped her up on pop dots, and added some pearls and a little twine. 

 

 Here's what you can find in the OCS store:

Skippy & Bobbin, Whimsy stamps

London Fog, Memento Ink

Suga Pop 6x6 paper pad, Kaiser Craft

Pink Pearls

Copic Markers:

Sand, hair & puppy: E51, E53, E55, E57

Hat & sandals: Y21, Y23, Y26, Y28
