Luminous Lighthouse

 Hello there! I decided to get a jump start on Father's Day cards, so I pulled out my By The Sea stamp set ad made this card.

 First I stamped the lighthouse on a piece of Pure Luxury white card stock. I used Copics to color, starting with R27.

 Then added R22.

 Added W5.

 Added W3.

 Then filled in with W1.

 For the rock foundation, I used N5.

 Then filled in with N3.

 Added Y17 for the light. After coloring, I cut out the image.

For the background, I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White to 2 1/4 by 4 inches, then sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink in the center.

 Then I sponged Memento Tangelo from the top and bottom, sponging much heavier at the bottom. 

 I masked off a horizon line with a sticky note and sponged Memento Potter's Clay. 

Then I tore an edge along the sticky note and sponged Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I adhered the lighthouse to perch it on the black cliff I had sponged, then stamped the small seagulls. I layered with Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown and used Lipstick Red for the card base (4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches). I stamped the sentiment on Vellum and tore the bottom edge. It was adhered with Pop Dots, which I hid by covering them with the buttons.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you are having a great week so far!

Peachy Hugs

Hello and happy Friday! I'm sponsoring a challenge over at The Play Date Cafe this week and this is the card I made for the challenge. There are three of my stamp sets up for grabs to one lucky winner, Whimsical Spring, Celebrate The Season and Little Critters. The challenge colors are baby blue, orange and basil. I used images from Whimsical Spring for my card.

To start, I stamped the flowery branch on Pure Luxury White card stock and colored with Copics, beginning with YR07.

Added YR04.

Filled in with YR000. I got careless about staying in the lines, but I planned to cut out the flowers, so I just went with it.

I colored in the leaves with YG03.

Then added a bit of shading with YG25.

I cut an oval from white card stock, using Spellbinders Classic Ovals die templates, then sponged with Memento Summer Sky ink, while still in the die.

Sponged very lightly with Memento Danube Blue.

Then sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves.

I stamped the brand on my background and colored in the limb with E57.

I cut out the flowers and leaves from my colored image and adhered them to the background using Pop Dots. 

Stamped a silhouette branch on Pure Luxury Creme De Menthe card stock, using Memento New Sprout. 

I layered with Pure Luxury Sweet Mango and used a Pure Luxury White card base. The pattern paper is called Winter Wonderland from Gina K Designs. I stamped the sentiment on white and cut it out with Spellbinders Petite Oval Nestabilities die template, and added self adhesive pearls to the flower centers.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Bear In The Woods

Hello. What a beautiful spring like day we are having here in Northern California. I'm planning to get out and enjoy it. Today I have a card using images from Mountain Wilderness.

I stamped the bear on Pure Luxury White card stock and colored with Copics, starting with E29 in the shadows.

Added E37.

Then added E35.

And filled in with E55. After coloring, I cut out the image.

I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White to 4 1/4 by 3 1/2 for my background. I cut a 1/2 inch circle in a sticky note to use as a mask for the moon.  Then I sponged Memeneto Summer Sky ink.

Sponged Memento Lulu Lavender.

Sponged very lightly with Memento Grape Jelly.

Next, I used torn sticky notes to mask off the sky and sponged more Memento Summer Sky.

I moved the mask lower and sponged again with Memento Summer Sky.

Then I sponged very lightly with Memento Grape Jelly.

I tore another sticky note to mask for a hill and sponged Memento Paris Dusk.

Then used torn sticky notes again and sponged Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I removed the mask and stamped some trees with Memento Tuxedo Black.

Then stamped a few larger trees on the other side.

The sentiment is from Follow Your Dreams and stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx. The border is Pure Luxury Baby Boy Blue and cut using Spellbinders Classic Postage Edgeabilities die template. I used my Scor-Buddy to add some score lines to the Kraft card base and added a jute twine bow. The card base is 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!
