Eva Bussom: Ranger

Last week Andrea put out the call for cards for her grandmother who is turning 100... and that is not something you can turn down! So here is my card... it's from the sneak peek on Friday!

here's the sneak peek I shared

I hope you like it... and I hope that Mary likes it as well!

I used my FSJ - Orange Creamsicle ink, along with some Ranger glossy Texture paste.

I the Ranger Large Flower stencil for the image, I love how wonderful it is...
For my die layers, I used my Fancy Frames, Flag Banners, and Wishful Thoughts Dies from Craftin Desert Divas, along with the Number die from MFT Stamps.

Also from Fun Stampers Journey is the amazing Natural Twine, which curls, so I love it even more and the beautiful cardstock for the 100 numbers which I also did in Orange Creamsicle.

My card base is Kraft from MFT Stamps, and the Vellum is from Stampin' Up!
The last item used on my card is the sequins... ah! The lovely Hampton's Ice 6mm sequins from Stamp, Ink, Paper Store... which at this rate, I'm gonna need to order some more and very soon!

Well, that's it for today... If you'd please click the follow button on the right, and start following me today! I promise it will never be boring :) well... lol.. sometimes!

Until next time,

CYCI#122 Sketch Challenge

OKokok............ So I totally love this little submarine!

When I first saw it I thought of the Beatles, lol... cause that's how I think!

So yup, it had to be yellow!!!

I start by coloring my FSJ - An Adventure stamp with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers, in yellows and grays! I did some bubbles on in in white gel pen and added some Ranger Glossy Accents on the portholes! I went through my cardstock and picked out this lovely yellow called Lemon Drop from MFT Stamps. My Pattern paper is from Doodlebugs - Anchors Aweigh (it comes in 6 x6). I jumped over to the matching sentiment "Make it an Adventure", but didn't want a plain look for it, and I had just gotten my Craftin Desert, they just release this set of Flag Banner Dies, which was perfect! For my accents, I added Doodlebug Sprinkles in Yellow and a bit of white twine!

Until next time

Red and Kraft Challenge USC

Okay... so I was thinking tag.... so ta da!!!
My tag is made from a Ranger kraft tag and a Jillibean Soup acetate tag.
I used the KOM from January for my sentiment and stamped image, which is the heart of butterflies!
I layered on Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Gold, and Ranger texture paste mixed with Red ink.
I added a simple piece of thread in a neutral color!
I used my heat tool to dry the color and create waves in the tag.

Up next is my card... cause I had to make a card! It's what I do...

I started with my Craftin Desert Divas Fancy Frames die set, and lots of Heidi Swapp Color Shine Gold, and lots of red ink from a reInker. I used the same butterfly heart stamp from the January KOM from Unity for the image and another sentiment from the kit!!!
I decided to go on an angle for the positioning of the sentiment and ran it back through the big shot with the die.

Until next time

CYCI#85 A Color Challenge

Hey welcome back to another Sunday...
its the last free Sunday before another school year starts,
and we are enjoying the last lazy weekend!

We've got another all new challenge from CanYouCaseIt.com

I went with water coloring for this weeks challenge!

and I really enjoyed it too... here's the dets!

That awesome yellow cardbase is actually a white card base that I washed the edges in a super bright yellow.. pretty cool huh? Just remember you don't always have to have the correct color cardstock (not that I didn't) you can make it yourself, with some patience and a bit of hard work and fun! I used Bazzill White for this card.

Next was the water coloring layer.. I started by coloring the blue circle shape.. Which I used an old glue dots cardboard as a guide... yep... and gave it a quick wash.. being careful to keep the color bright and vivid! My Zig Clean Color real brush watercolor pens can in super handy to get the colors just how I wanted them. Next was the leaf... which I did again on watercolor paper, and washed it in browns and yellows to get the finished look you see. Then I ran it through my big shot with Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves. After it dried I applied a bit (super thin layer) of Ranger Glossy Accents on it, which dried in no time.

I added the sentiment "Thank you" from Simon Says Stamp - Flowers On My Mind in a dark brown.

My final touch was adding some Doodlebug (yep you knew it would be in there somewhere, tehe). Which I cut using SSS die called Medium Dot Line Wafer Die. Then I layered them to really get some dimension from it.

until next time...

CYCI#81 A Color Challenge

Well its sunday and that mean Can You Case It? and this week we have a color challenge, the colors were picked by Billie Moan!

I started with white cardstock, and layered Tim Holtz tissue wrap, and some Ranger Texture Paste in Transparent Gloss... and three reInkers from Stampin' Up! in Blackberry Bliss for my purple, Lost Lagoon for my Blue, and Cucumber Crush for my green.

I mixed drops of the ink with the texture paste, and covered the tissue wrap. After it dried, I added the bricked stencil (with Ranger Texture Paste) and dabbed it to add some extra pizzazz...

I let it dry and then started on my sentiment in the Take Care of You stamp set from Unity Stamp Co. on vellum, in Stazon Black, to finish it off I put some pearls and buttons along with thread shaped like petals from a flower and splattered some Wink of Stella in silver on top. I added a Simon Says Stamp 120 lbs card base.

Here's a close up of the texture.

Pool Party, Island Indigo from SU and Memento Black

Now the back of the tank is done with sponging pool party and island indigo on white cardstock, then I used Ranger Texture on the Garden Bare Branches from Memory Box to give the tank a bit of sea look... the branches are really cool up close!

Butterflies for all you do

todays card is a thank all my friends and followers

The card started with chalkboard cardstock, where I used a stencil on it from Bo Bunny and texture paste from Ranger. To give my butterflies more life, I took a piece of copy paper and laid it over the wet texture paste, gave a light rub to the entire thing, and pulled the paper up. Leaving behind butterflies, with lots of life to them.. I set it aside to dry. Then it was time to add color, so i chose white pigment ink, and gold ink from Stampin' Up! First I covered the whole thing in the white ink... with a sponge dauber and let dry (this card required about 4 hours of drying time in between paste, ink and finish). Then I came back with gold and tapped it to cover most of the details within the butterflies. Lastly I added a simple sentiment from For Being You and my card was finally finished.

I hope you enjoy my labor of love, card making!

skype and a card

Good morning, today I'm all about skype, friends, and making cards in my crafty space (which is a desk) lol.. anyway... so as you can see I have Justin on my blog today! lol.. No, we were skyping while we were working on projects (cards) again, so I thought I'd share one of the pics I snapped while we were chatting...

Anyway on to todays card!
I'm so on my Simon Says Stamp kick...
I got a new order yesterday, and totally loved all my shine items!
I started by using the Tim Holtz Stencil Flourish, with Ranger Texture Paste Transparent Gloss
and then I went back and added some color, using a sponge dauber to add the Island Indigo reInker.

I added a layer of vellum, and heat embossed the Happily Ever After with Ranger Liquid Platinum emboss powder. Finally I added some Stampin' Up! White Satin ribbon on a Neenah Solar White 110# cardstock as my base. I hope you enjoyed my card
I love it, and think it would be perfect for any wedding or anniversary!
