My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club - Let's Hang Out

I was out of town this past week unexpectedly and when I got home I had my last order from the May release.   I ordered the new Birdie Brown Let's Hang Out stamp and die set.    With it being Memorial Day, I thought I would go with a color combo of Red, White and Blue.

I colored up the image with my Copic markers.   I texturized the jeans but it is a little hard to see in the photo.   This was done with some old jean material and Copic Blender solution applied after coloring.   She was cut out with the matching die set and popped up on a white rectangle cut out with the MFT Rectangle 2 Stax set. 

Stamps:  MFT Birdie Brown Let's Hang Out, MFT Grid Background

Ink: MFT Hybrid Black Licorice, Versafine Black Onyx 

Paper: PI Kraft, MFT Wild Cherry, MFT Sweet Tooth, MFT Nightshift Blue, Fancy Pants Trend Setter 

Tools:  MFT Blueprints 1 & 13, Fishtail Flag Stax, Circle Stax 2, Pierced Rectangle Stax, Rechtangle Stax 2, Wild Cherry Button

Online Card Class - Watercolor for Card Makers

I have been taking the Online Card Class and had time to do some of the lessons.   I tried all three of day one classes out today.   I will have to wait till this weekend to do more of the lessons.   I pretty much stuck with the technique as it was instructed.    I loved how all three of my cards turned out.   It was a lot of fun!    Watercolor is very relaxing!   It is hard to mess it up!

My first card is using Distress inks and spritzing with water on a acrylic block to create a watercolor background.

Inks: Distress Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers

Tools: Spritzer, Acrylic block, Paper Smooches Thanks die

My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club 174

I tried all day yesterday to finish this card.  I wanted it to be a shaker card but I had two failed attempts and finally I said forget it.   I am again super busy this weekend and just did not have a lot of time to spend stamping this weekend, so here is the final version - less the shaker part.    It did not turn out so bad!   I love the rainbow colors against the black and white.  We have had two back to back weekends of prom/formals.   So…. I paid tribute to the black and white!

The heart were made with strips of colored card stock adhered to light paper.   Then I ran thru my Big Shot with a heart die from MFT Blueprints 4.    I cut 6 out and have three left to make another card.  

The black banner ribbon was cut with the MFT Fishtail Flag Stax.   I put my cutting plate short on the end so that it did not cut the flat end off and then turned the card stock around and put back in the die to extend the flag and flag tail the other end.   The center was cut with my MFT Pierced Square Stax.
