Creative Crew - Month 2

Here are some of the projects I made for my design team work for the Creative Crew challenge on Splitcoast this month.

Two Secret Garden for Queen

 

I made two variations of this card for our Queen this week.  We had a fun Queen for the Day Challenge this week and I hope you come play along.

 

I inked an acrylic block with 3 colors, spritzed with water, then pressed onto the white paper.  I then stamped twice with images trying to use the same colors of ink as the background.  I used the new die cuts with the new Saleabration paper.  Also the blue ribbon is new too!

 

I pierced on the blue leaf one and tore the paper on this rich razzleberry one.

I really like how they turned out.  A very clean/simple look.  I left off a sentiment so I can add one as I need to.  I think this shows off this new set "Secret Garden" and matching dies in a few neat ways to use it.

New Queen... QFTD137

 

I made this card for our Queen this week - AudreyAnn.

I hope you come check out the Queen for the Day Challenge on Splitcoast that I host.

 

I used my biggest clear block and markered it all with green and pressed it onto the paper, this is what showed up!  I stamped the tree and sentiment in green.  I stamped another tree overtop and embossed with iridescent ice.  You can catch the shimmer much better in person.  I wish it stood out a bit more though.

Acrylic Block Collage

A very cool technique on Splitcoast Monday.  Acrylic Block Collage.  Here are the instructions.

 

I colored on my block with 2 blues, kraft and suede, misted with water and pressed onto the paper.  Then I masked the area and stamped some trees and snowflakes.  Then I removed the mask and stamped my tree using stamp a ma jig.  Added some piercing and rhinestones.

 

The colors are from Dynamic Duos.  Soft Suede and Pool Party.

 

This one with the bike my mom and I made.  She colored the block with 3 colors - olive, cajun and navy.  We stamped the bike image a few times to try to get it dark, but ended up using black and gray marker to darken it up by hand. 

Clear Block - Summer Afternoon

 

A very simple card using a layout from Sketch Frenzy Friday.

 

I inked a clear acrylic block with green and pressed onto the white paper, then stamped the line image from "Summer Afternoon" overtop.  It's quite hard to see from the photo.  It's a subtle effect but is a nice and easy way to add color to this image.

 

I added a zig zag from "Tasteful Trim" die and a little twine bow.

The colors are Wild Wasabi and Certainly Celery with Chocolate Chip and white.

New Queen.. QFTD122

Here are the 2 cards I made for this week's Queen for the Day.

Please come join in with the Queen for the Day Challenge.

I inked my clear block with yellow maker and pressed it onto the white paper.  Then I stamped and added brads.  Really simple card, took about a minute or two to make.

For this card I used my new set "Evergreen".  I stamped the tree with white ink on the green paper, then I inked the words with green and stamped overtop.  I added some fun decorative accents and embellishments.

Simple leaf for dad

I need a few more Father's Day cards by request.  This idea popped into my head.

I inked an acrylic block and "stamped" it, then stamped the leaf overtop.  Added some ripping and brads.

A very simple card to make.
