Heart & Soul, Too

I found that acrylic paint dries rather quickly. So, you have to work fast. I was glad to get a few brush strokes on paper. What do you think? 

Heart & Soul

Stamps:

   Good Feelings

Paper:

   Tempting Turquoise A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Mixed Media 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Acrylic Paint:

   Bright Yellow

   Turquoise

   Purple

Technique:

   Acrylic Paint

Accessories:

   Brights Enamel Shapes

   Stamparatus/MISTI/Stamp-a-ma-jig

   Adhesive

   Brush

First, I brushed on some Bright Yellow acrylic paint over the top of the card. 

I then brushed some Purple underneath it, leaving the natural white space that was not covered by the paint.

Next, I added a line of Turquoise and then finished the front with a bit more of the Bright Yellow.

I then set my panel inside my Stamparatus and stamped it, using the Good Feelings stamp set and a bit of Tuxedo Black Memento. I decided to use the Stamparatus in case I needed to stamp the words more than once. 

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Tempting Turquoise card front.

Lastly, I added some Brights Enamel Shapes and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Since, I painted two panels at the same time, here is the other card, using another stamp from the set:

Seeing Double

Make two cards by splitting the image in two. You definitely need one large image to make this work, but it is a wonderful way to make use of those large stamps sitting on your shelf. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Medallion

   Good Feelings

Paper:

   Concord Crush A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 8 - Stamp in the center then cut in two, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Concord Crush

Technique:

   Split Image

Accessories:

   Stamp-a-ma-jig/Stamparatus/MISTI

   Concord Crush 1/2" Stitched Polyester Ribbon 8"

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the large medallion in the center of the 5-1/4 x 8 Basic White panel.

I then cut the 8" in half. So, I now had two panels, measuring 5-1/4 x 4, each with half a medallion. This works with any large image that can be split in two.

Next, I stamped a sentiment on the lower part of the panel as shown above.

I then knotted an 8" strip of Concord Crush ribbon in the center and wrapped it around to the back of the panel. Note: I added a couple of glue dots under the ribbon to keep it flat and in place on the card.

I then adhered each of the panels to a Concord Crush card front.

Lastly, I added a few Basic Pearls and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of each card.

Count On It

So many occasions deserve a toast and a celebration, or they deserve both! Which would you choose and why? Here is a card to go with a toast while the lamb dances in celebration. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Counting Sheep

   Good Feelings

Paper:

   Merry Merlot A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:

   Basic Black

   Blush Blossom

   White Chalk 

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Pressed Petals

   Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins

   Pop-Up Stickers

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the lamb in the center of the card.

I colored it, using Blush Blossom for the face, and hooves. I used the White Chalk Marker for the wool.

I then stamped the sentiment with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then adhered the panel to the Merry Merlot card front and added the pressed petals on the bottom left.

Lastly, I added a few pop-up stickers from my stash of products and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Thank You Feelings

Color directly onto your designer series paper and give it a new look. This particular paper has been discontinued, but I wanted to use it for a color challenge. So, I added the two missing colors. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Good Feelings

Paper:

   Magenta Madness A-2

   Night of Navy 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Floral Boutique DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scrap

Ink:

   Magenta Madness

Markers:

   Daffodil Delight

   Magenta Madness

Technique:

   Punching 

   Coloring

Accessories:

   Corner Rounder Punch

   2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I colored in the flowers, using a Magenta Madness marker.

I then colored in the background with a Daffodil Delight marker. I wanted it to have a bit of a messy look. So, you can see the marker marks and a bit of the white still showing through. 

I then adhered it to the Night of Navy matte, and then onto the Magenta Madness card front.

Next, I stamped my sentiment on a scrap of Basic White, using Magenta Madness ink.

I rounded the four corners, using a corner rounder punch.

Lastly, I added an enamel dot, a few rhinestones and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
