Reverse Confetti December SFYTT

There is a new Sketch Challenge at Reverse Confetti!   I decided to take a break from the Christmas cards and tags to make a fun birthday card.    I used the new Cheerful & Kind paper pad along with the Unicorn Wishes stamp set for a bright and happy card!

 I trimmed down several of the papers from the Cheerful & Kind paper pad based upon the sketch and glued them on top of an A2 Cloud White card base.    I then used the Fa La La Circle Confetti Cut and used some glitter paper from my stash.    I also cut a circle from the Premier Polar White cardstock to layer my stamped images upon.

I stamped and colored my images with my Copic markers.  I added some glitter detail with my Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle pen.    I then used the banner from Flowers for Mom Confetti Cut and die cut from Rose cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Unicorn Wishes and white heat embossed it.

I hope that you get a chance to play along with this month's sketch and be sure to link up for a chance to win a gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti Store!    All the details can be found on the SFYTT link on the Reverse Confetti blog!

These koala bears are just so adorable.    I made a really simple card with the Lacy Scallop Circle and Sunburst cover plate dies from Reverse Confetti.   The sentiment is from the Reverse Confetti Bitty Banners and Bitty Banners Confetti cuts.   The Bear Hugs image was colored with Copic markers.  

The paper is from My Favorite Things: Steel Grey and Grout Gray.   The white is Neenah 90 lb.   The sentiment was stamped in Lawn Fawn Plastic Flamingo ink the main stamped image was stamped in MFT Hybrid Black Licorice ink which is Copic friendly.

Concord & 9th - Hello Lovely

Hello there!   Happy Friday to you.    I am sharing some cards that I watercolored recently using the Concord & 9th Hello Lovely stamp set.    The first card the image was stamped and heat embossed with clear embossing powder and watercolored with my Zig Clean Color Markers.   

The second card was just stamped with black ink and water colored with my Peerless watercolors.   

Both watercolored panels were then cut down with the Stitched and Scalloped Basic border edges and placed on a colored card stock bases.   I white heat embossed a sentiment from another Concord & 9th stamp set called Butterfly Beauty and stitched to the main panel with my sewing machine.

My Favorite Things - Space Explorer and Galaxy Backgrounds

Here is another card that I made with the super cute stamp set from MFT Stamps and Birdie Brown, Space Explorer.   This background was made with Distress inks: Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot.   The panel was then splattered with water and then with Copic Opaque White.   

The images were colored with Copic markers and then clear Pico Embellisher was added to the faces.   The moon was created with the Lots of Dots Background stamp with Grout Gray ink on Grout Gray card stock.   It was die cut with the Stitched Valley dies from MFT.

My Favorite Things - Birdie Brown Space Explorer

I have had such fun with this new set from My Favorite Things and Birdie Brown.    It is so darn cute!   The other fun part is making galaxy backgrounds with my Distress Inks.    Here is one that I made that I just love, made from Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire and a tiny little bit of Black Soot on the top edge.   What is really cool, is the green that you get when you mix the Peacock Feathers with the Mustard Seed.     It's a beautiful color.    I splattered it with some Mister Huey's white misting spray.  

The images were colored in with Copic Markers on Neenah Solar White.   I white heat embossed the sentiment on a black moon shaped panel.   Clear Spectrum Noir was colored over the balloons.   Isn't he adorable!   I made several cards this weekend with this set.   I will share some more over the next couple of weeks.

Reverse Confetti - Paw Prints

I need to replenish my birthday card stash.   This was a quick card to make.   I made my own background with watercolor and used an image from Paw Prints from Reverse Confetti that I had previously colored up.   FYI.... his party hat is supposed to be a sign for the doghouse in the set, but I made it into a party hat. :-)   I used the Reverse Confetti Linked Garland for party streamers.       

The circle die is from My Favorite Things.

My Favorite Things Otterly love you

I seriously have depleted my birthday card stash!   My mother recently asked me to provide her with some birthday cards because she was all out!   So I used the Otterly

My Favorite Things - Otterly Love You

This past weeks MFT Card Challenge sketch challenge drew my eye this week.   It has been ages since I had done one!    I loved the simple layout and created a card with my new Birdie Brown set.   I started out  doing some emboss resist with white heat embossing  and the Balloon String background stamp set.   The panel was then ink blended with and several Distress inks: Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Broken China.   I stamped and colored the Otters from the Birdie Brown Otterly Love you stamp set and then cut them out.   Several sequins were added to highlights on the blue ocean background!    Some Clear Wink of Stella was add to the red heart.

Beary Special Birthday - 3 cards

This is such a sweet stamp set.   I made three cards with the cute little bear images.   First up a sweet birthday card using the Distressed Patterns along with Birthday Wishes and Balloons.   I colored my bear image form the Beary Special Birthday.   The panel was stamped with the stripe with Cotton Candy and stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Wishes set in Black Licorice ink.    I topped it off with some Ballerina Pink sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. 

For the next card, I used a Circle Burst Stencil to create a background for my image.   I colored the bear with Copics and stamped my sentiment in Chocolate Brown ink.  I colored the cake with clear Wink of Stella and placed it on Insulation Pink card stock.  

The last card, I used some pattern paper and created a backdrop for my card and image. Blueprints 25 was used for the base and the Rounded Stitched Rectangles were used to create the card.   Most of the products used were from My Favorite Things.

My Favorite Things Cool Cats - Sketch Challenge

Happy Sunday!   Hope your day is as beautiful as mine!   The temperature is 76 degrees and beautiful sunny weather! I am sharing a card that I made for the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge using the Birdie Brown stamp set, Cool Cats.

The panel was inked in one corner with Distress inks: Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon.   Then the panel was spritzed with a Broken China Distress Ink Pen.   The panel was cut with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle stax.     I die cut MFT Patterned paper from the Fresh Gingham paper pack with Stitched Basic Edges and attached to the bottom of the panel.   The cats were colored with Copic markers on Copic Xpress it card stock and then cut out with my Brother Scan and Cut 2.  I also die cut some Puffy Clouds and Radiant Sun and adhere to the panel with foam tape to add dimension.  The sentiment was stamped in MFT Hybrid Black Licorice Ink with the Lisa Johnson Designs Birthday Greetings on the panel.   That completed the card!

Mama Elephant Unicorns and Rainbows

Pretty simple card!   I did not own any unicorn sets and saw several out recently but Mama Elephant was my favorite!   When your images are mostly white and the card is mostly white, you tend to get done quickly!    The only things that really took anytime for me was figuring out what color topics to use.    The stamp set is Rainbows and Unicorns by Mama Elephant.  The rainbow die is an older My Favorite Things die.  Can't get any easier!   I am saving this card for my grand niece and her birthday.   She will be two.    I think she will love it.

Mama Elephant Charmed again!

Hey There!   Hope you are having a great start to your Spring!  The weather where I live is wonderful!  Nice sunny day and beautiful evenings!   I love that we have more day light in the evening!

On to the card, here is another card that I created with the same stamp set that I used yesterday.   Mama Elephant Charmed is such an adorable set.     I used the fox this time and a birthday sentiment. I kept the card really soft and made a strong contrast with the coloring of the fox.   Red foxes are so pretty.
