Double slider card

This is a double slider card.  I searched Pinterest for a double slider and was able to find the directions.  To make the slider a piece of plastic bag is used.  The card begin with a 6 inch x 12 inch paper that is scored at 3 3/4, 7 3/4 and 11 /3/4.  The card front 4 x 6 was stamped with an Altnew stamp set using Altnew Red Cosmos ink.  A Sassy Sweet sentiment was used on the inside.  The gold tape on the edge was created with score tape and gold heat emboss.  An idea I saw on the Heat Wave Online Card Class/   Hope you enjoy.

Passionate

Three colors of Memento Ink were used-Two pink and a green.  The stamp was inked and then applied to the paper. The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Black.  The stamped image was cut 4 x 5.25 and mounted on a 4.25 x 5.5 card base.  Hope you enjoy

With Sympathy

Everyone needs a sympathy card or a card to send to someone in need.  This was created with a Wplus9 bird stamp and the Hero Arts prayer stamp/die set.  Copic markers were used to color the image.  The card is an A2 in size.  The paper used was Copic Solar White cut to 4.25 x 5.25 and mounted on black.  Hope you enjoy

Bootsie Bestie

This card was made for a special little girls 4th Birthday using the My Besties Stamp set "Bootsie Bestie".  A variety of Earth tone copic markers were used for the hair, clothing and boots.  A light blue violet and light blue were used for the shirt and boe.  The sentiment was created on the computer and colored with an earth tone copic marker.  A fun card to color.  Hope you enjoy.

Wolf in Birches

Wolf in Birches is a stamp by Creative Vision.  This was colored using the neutral tone Distress Crayons on watercolor paper. The crad is an A2 with the watercolor cut 4 x 5.25 and mounted on a black base.  The sentiment is from Altenew and white heat embossed.  Hope you enjoy.

Framed Poppy Gems

Poppy Gems by Penny Black that were water colored and fussy cut and then framed.

Flower Gala

This card was inspired by Jennifer McGuire in the Online Card Class "Clear and Sheer".  The top layer of the card is vellum which has been colored with red, yellow, orange, green and blue inks that are rubbed on and then heat set. (The picture was taken on a black mat)  The flower is from Penny Black "Flower gala" and white embossed.  The sentiment strip is cut with an Avery Elle die and the sentiment stamped in Versafine Black.  Pearl gems by Kaiser were added to finish off the front.  The vellum was a 4.25 by 8.5 piece scored at 5.5 creating a top fold card.  The 3 inch flap left was sandwiched between two pieces of white card stock to finish off the card.  Hope you enjoy.

Happy Mother's Day

I made this card following an example on the new Online Card Class "Clear and Sheer".  It highlights how to use vellum.  My background was water colored and then a leaf die from my stash was used to cut out the image.  The die cut image was then adhered to the card base.  I stamped the sentiment on heavy vellum with Versafine black, then clear embossed and attached it on the back of the card panel.  Hope you enjoy.

Spring Flowers

This card was inspired by Kristina Werner.  The stamp set is from Simon Says "Spring Flowers" and the sentiment is from Penny Black.  The background was created with Kurtake pan watercolor and the stamped images white embossed.  The same background colors were used to color the flowers and leaves.  Sequence finished off the card.  Hope you enjoy.

HINT:  When doing watercolor you can add water to an area and then add your color. 

HINT:  When coloring paint one area and then go to another so not working next to a wet area.

HINT:  Use two jars of water-one for clean and one for dirty so you are not mixing colors,

Cut the flower painted on the scrap by hand and using 3M dimension tape place over the same flower on the card.

Paint the leaves using the Bundled Sage and Peeled Paint.  Add the Walnut Stain to the flower center.  Add Matte Medium to the center followed by the Distress Glitter

Paint the background area using the Tumbled Glass.  If you wet an area and follow with the distress ink you can move the color around.
