CDD Sneak Peek Day 4 August Release

Hello Crafty Friends!

This week we are showcasing the August Release over at Craftin Desert Divas Facebook Event Page.   Come and join us for the Sneak Peeks and there are prizes to be won also!  

Today is the last day of Sneak Peeks and tomorrow, the 22nd & 23rd, starts the Blog Hop starting here.

Here is my project for the new Your Wish stamp set.  This is stamp set is so very cute, funny and snarky just my style.

I stamped the monkey then masked him to stamp the genie and then masked her to stamp the carpet.  I colored the images with Copic markers, remasked them to use my distress inks with a blending tool to make the background.  I die cut the cloud from The Sky is the Limit Dies to make a template to use for making the background.  Although you can barely see the clouds they are there.  The reason why you can't see them is because I messed up around the girl and tried to use a marker to fix it.  Well, this made it worse so I took clean water and brush and just dabbed water to make more 'clouds' taking away the definitions of my original clouds.  I just went with it and spritzed some water droplets and also spritzed perfect pearls too.  So, the moral of the story is don't give up when you think you have ruined your entire piece!  It's not perfect but I didn't think it should've been thrown out.  :)  I popped dotted the cloud with fun foam.  The frame is cut using the large scallop die from Fancy Frame Dies.  The paper I used is X-press It Blending Card for Copics.  The pink and white cs is Core'denations from Joanns.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today!

New $1.00 sequins....

Here's what I've created for you...

I created this fun card using the Fair Fun stamp set.  I had envisioned this water balloon scene with the lil bears hanging for the prizes.  I stamped the water balloons and bears onto Tim Holtz's watercolor paper and colored them with Zig Real Color Brush Markers.  I used the new Crazy Stitched Frame dies to cut out the watercolor paper and colored in the 'ribbon' from the die.  For the canopy I used Fancy Frame Dies by folding a 1 1/2" piece of patterned cs and diecut just along the edge and sides and gluing fun foam  to the inside to make it 'pop' open.  The sentiment is embossed on a banner from Flag Banner Dies.


For my 2nd project I used the new Greeting Word Dies and Tiny Sentiments...

To make the sun rays I used the straight stitched die from the In Line Stitched Dies using TH's watercolor paper. The circle stitched die is from the Stitched in Circle Dies set.  I then used TH's distress inks with a blending tool to color the sun and rays.  I diecut the 'Blessed' directly on the watercolor paper and then diecut 'Blessed' 5 times using reg cardstock to make it pop up.  The tiny sentiments was stamped in black Versafine ink.

Today starts week 2 of Craftin Desert Diva's Create a Scene Linky Party.  I created a beach scene  using Beach Bound stamp set, Mix It Up Dies and Fancy Frame Dies.

For my card I came across a tutorial on Pinterest showing how to create a beach scene using Copics. So, I course had to try my hand at it.  I still need lots of practice but I had fun trying.  Here is the link to the tutorial, very talented artist!

So without further ado here is my card.....

All of the images are stamped directly on the white stitched panel I cut from Fancy Frame Dies.  I then proceeded coloring my background then colored the images.  I cut the speech bubble and used yellow distress ink to color it then stamped my sentiment and popped it up with fun foam.  I cut the orange pattern paper using the large scallop frame and layered this on top of black cardstock then adhered to an A2 size card.

I hope that this has inspired you to come and play along with us!
