Diver Dan!

Happy Tuesday!

Hi everyone! I just got back yesterday from a warm and relaxing vacation in Aruba! I was inspired from my trip and our snorkeling excursion to make a card with the High Hopes Stamps image called "Diver Dan".

I thought "Diver Dan" would look adorable as a Shaker card as he would look like he was under water! I tried a new product this time. It's called Masking Fluid. I stamped my image onto my Copic paper then using the fluid, filled the image in and let it totally dry. Then using some Distress paint in Picket Fence and a Heidi Swapp Color Shine spray on my craft mat I dragged the image through the wet paints. This made the white space behind my image take on a water look. Once the paint was dry you just use your fingers and peel off the dry masking fluid. Your image is left nice and white and then you are able to use your markers to colour it!

I put some Glossy Accents on Dan's mask and the little air bubble. I filled the shaker with Doodlebug sequins, some tiny clear seed beads and white glitter.

On the inside I used a word sticker from Heidi Swapp's No Limits Buzz Word collection.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, R11

Hair: E43, E44, E47

Tank, Hose & Flippers: T3, T5, T7

Watch: Y38

Mask: R24, R29

Happy New Year!

Crazy Bird Series #1

Hi OCS peeps and a big Happy New Year to you! Today is a new month and you know what that means..... It's the start of a New Challenge over at One Crazy Stamper on their Blog. The Theme this month is "Anything Goes". I got the Tim Holtz Bird Crazy stamps and Tim Holtz Crazy Things (accessories) stamps before Christmas and figured I would pull them out and play around. I decided to make a Happy New Year Card using the Crazy Bird #3, Top Hat and Bow for this week's card.

A while back I purchased Copic Sketch fluorescent markers and decided to was time to give them a try as well. They are nice and bright and fun to figure out! On this card I dug out some paper from my stash and have no idea what line it's from. I used a MFT Zig Zag stitched circle die to cut out my bird. The bird and the paper are so bright that I decided to only add a ribbon for my embellishment this time. I made the sentiment on the computer.

On the inside I also used my computer to make a sentiment as I don't have any New Years sentiment stamps. (note to self.....purchase some for next year LOL)

Copics Used:

Bird Body: FRV1, RV14, RV17, RV19

Beak: FY1, YR04

Hat & Bow: T3, T4, T5, T7

Ground: T0, T1, T3, T5

outline: B000

I had so much fun with this bird stamp that I've decided to do a series for the month. So stay tuned and each Wednesday I'll show you a card with a new bird!

Don't forget to make something and link it up over on the BLOG for this month's "Anything Goes" Challenge! You've got lots of time and I'll be looking to see what you make! Good Luck, who knows you could be our next monthly winner!

Happy Crafting

Who wants to go fishing?

Howdy!

So who wouldn't want to go fishing with this adorable penguin? This super cute stamp from High Hopes is called "Ice Fishing Penguin". I just love his little warm outfit and frozen fish on his pole!

I decided to use paper from the Echo Park "Hello Winter" collection. Mr. Penguin's scarf is paper pieced for a fun element. I added the Frostyville Border from Memory Box along the top and a silver wooden snowflake on the bottom. The High Hopes stamp called "Have An Ice Day" is the perfect sentiment for this stamp.
