You're Darling Card with Cindy Bristow

You're Darling Card
with Cindy Bristow
 
Howdy!
 
Today's share is a fun elegant card I created using a fun saying from the Heidi Swap Hawthorne Ephemera pack.  This ephemera pack is chocked full of fun tags and cute what nots to include on cards and scrapbooks.  Make sure you check back to see what else I use out of the set!
 
 
Once again in my quest to use some of my patterned paper stash, I pulled a sheet of the Gel Press prints I told you about yesterday.  Today I used my Flower Tangle stamp with Clear Pigment ink and heat embossed it with Rose Gold Embossing Powder.  This was my first time using the Rose Gold, and all I can say is wow!!! These pictures do not do it justice!
 
 
The card front was stunning just like that, but I wanted to kick it up a bit so I grabbed some black velvet ribbon from my stash and wrapped it around the card front.  I layered a Corrugated Stock circle punch with a Black Licorice Circle punch and topped it off with a pink rose from the Love Buds pack.  For my saying I opened the Heidi Swap Hawthorn ephemera pack and chose the You're Darling die cut.
I layered the card front onto a Black Licorice mat, and then onto a Bubble Gum card base.

Dahlia Collage Card with Cindy Bristow

Dahlia Collage Card
with Cindy Bristow
 
Howdy!
 
 
Today I would like to share a collage style card I created using a FSJ stamp called Dahlia Burst.  It is one of my favorites, and even though it is a few years old, I still consider it one of my go to flower stamps.
 
 
For the past few weeks I have been showing you different ways to use the patterned papers we all have in our stashes.  This card front is no different, it started as a piece of Halloween paper.  Instead of using gesso, I decided to grab my Gel Press  and acrylic paints. 
 
The acrylic paints did not cover as well as gesso, but it still made an interesting background to work with.  I will be doing this again!  You can see part of the haunted house in the top right hand corner of the picture below.  By adding more layers, it turned into a background pattern and looks great.

 
After my paint was dry, I stamped the Deco Wall background stamp in Whip Cream ink for my background stamping.  Then I layered the Dahlia Burst stamp using a masking technique.  I colored the images using Color Burst Pencils.  The white highlights are done with acrylic paint. 
 
To finish the card front, I stamped the Deco Wall stamp randomly using Black Licorice ink.  Next I stamped one side with Clear Embossing ink and the Vintage Notes stamp, covered it with gold embossing powder and heat set it.  I sprinkled it with Black Licorice Silk and decided that it needed just a bit more black, so I added 3 enamel dots from the Magical Candy pack.
The card front is mounted onto Black Licorice cardstock and then layered onto a Rich Coral card base.

Friendship Card with Cindy Bristow

Friendship Card
with Cindy Bristow
 
Howdy!
 
Today's share is a card made using the Jane Davenport stamp set called Friendship.
 
 
I love that all three of these girls are separate stamps so that you can use them together or individually. 

 
My card front is one of the patterned papers from my stash that I have applied gesso onto.  The images are stamped with Black Licorice ink-permanent and waterproof.
I used FSJ Color Burst Watercolor Pencils to color the entire card front.  I took a break from the bright colors for this one and used a muted color pallet.
The card front is matted on Black Licorice cardstock and then layered onto a Cool Pool card base.

 
Thanks for stopping by,
Cindy

Hey Gorgeous Poppy Girl card with Cindy Bristow

Hey Gorgeous Poppy Girl card
with Cindy Bristow
 
Howdy!
 
Today's share is another beautiful watercolor card done with FSJ's Color Splash liquid inks.  I have to tell you guys that I am totally enjoying using these inks to paint with!
 
 
Today I paired it with a Jane Davenport stamp, Poppy Girl and the Pink Fresh die, Hey Gorgeous. 

 
Once again, I started with a piece of patterned scrapbook paper, and covered it with gesso.  Once the gesso dried, I stamped the girl and flowers with Black Licorice ink.  I zapped it with my heat gun to make sure it was dry (when you stamp on gesso, it takes a minute or two for your ink to dry and I am pretty impatient sometimes).  Then I colored the girls skin using my Color Splash pencils.  After that I got out my Color Splash liquid inks.  I will post links below on the colors I used.
 
After the image and background where dry, I added some white bubbles (dots) using Whip Cream paint.  A few splatters of Black Licorice  and Citrus Cooler Silks completed the look.  Once all of my liquid mediums where dried, I adhered the Hey Gorgeous die down.
 
I matted the front onto Black Licorice cardstock and then onto a Bubblegum Pink card base using White Liner tape.

 
Thanks for stopping by,
Cindy
