The Best of Things....

Welcome OCS fans;

I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend and had a chance to enjoy the Canada Day festivities.

For today's card, I have used several techniques and different mediums.  The stamp I used is called The Best of Things from High Hopes Stamps.  I coloured this with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers.  The main background paper is a piece of sheet from one of Heidi Swapp's paper pads that was foiled using the Minc Machine and Holographic Reactive Foil.  The strip of paper on the left hand paper was created using a Tim Holtz stencil called Trellis.   Lilac Lavendar and Spring Green Nuvo Mousse were used to add colour.  Doing this was trial and error.  The mousse which has a pearlescent effect has a creamy and smooth like butter texture.  I found it went on quite nicely if I used a piece of cut and dry foam instead of a spatula.

Supplies used:

• Stamp:  The Best of Things (High Hopes Stamps)
• Ink:  Archival Jet Black
• Paper:  Strathmore Watercolor Paper
• Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:  047 - May Green, 049 - Green Shadow, 083 - Lilac, 803 - English Lavendar, 220 - Tea Rose, 230 - Pale Rose, 045 - Pale Green, 053 - Yellow Green
• Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Brush Pens:  Soft Jade, Cosmos
• Holographic Reactive Foil (Heidi Swapp) 
• Tim Holtz Stencils: Trellis
• Nuvo Mouse:  Lilac Lavendar, Spring Green
• Nuvo Crystal Drops:  Morning Dew, Pale Periwinkle

There is plenty of time to enter this month's "Anything Goes" challenge for a chance to win 2 unmounted High Hopes Stamps of your choice.

Do make sure you drop by on Saturday, July 15th for High Hopes Stamps newest release.

Until next time, happy crafting.

Happy Thoughts!!!!

Welcome back OCS fans;

As we are having April showers, it definitely looks like spring has arrived.  High Hopes Stamps has a new release called "Think Spring".

Today, I have used the adorable image called "Bunny Blooms".  The butterflies are a stencil called "Butterfly Trail" from Crafters Workshop and I used some new Distress Oxide Inks to add some colour. As these inks are awesome and there is a lot of things that can be done with them. They are reactive with water, but I haven't tried that yet -- that is next.  I cut around the butterflies.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Bunny Blooms, Happy Thoughts (Think Spring Release - High Hopes Stamps)
• Paper:  Watercolour Paper, DP - Watercolor Wishes (Lawn Fawn)
• Ink:  Staz-On Jet Black; Dixtress Oxide Inks - Cracked Pistachio, Wilted Violet, Spiced Marmalade
• Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers:  903 - Natural Gray, 900 - Warm Gray #2, 065 - Mid Brown, 036 - Light Blue, 803 - English Lavender, 220 - Tea Rose, 047 - May Green, 028 - Pale Pink
• Stencil:  Butterfly Trail (Crafters Workshop)
• Miscellaneous:  Emerald Green (Flower Soft) and Rhinestones for the flower centers

For Any Occasion...

Hello OCS Fans;

My card turned out differently than what I had originally envisioned.  A crafting mishap occurred -- I forgot that the window behind me was opened and  a  sudden gust of wind scattered some gilding flakes around and not where I wanted them to go.  Needless to say, my creativity took a different turn.  As I wasn't sure of what sentiment to add, I didn't add any.  This way it can be used for any occasion.

Supplies used:

• Stamp:  Peacock Paisley (Heartfelt Creations)
• Paper:  Strathmore Water Color 
• Ink:  Staz-On Jet Black
• Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers: 041 - Light Green, 053 - Yellow Green, 083 - Lilac, 070- Orange, 051 - Lemon Yellow
• Die:  Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B
• Miscellaneous:  Peel Off Stickers, Prima Flowers, Rhinestones 

There is still plenty of time to enter this month's "Anything Goes" challenge.  I hope you get a chance to play a little in your craft room and try some new techniques and remember to stop by Lora's OCS store for supplies.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day, and until next week

Hugs,
