Head in the Clouds

Our sponsor this month is All Dressed Up. This week over, at Twisted Thursday, the optional twist is Double Embossing!

This adorable giraffe is called Head in the Clouds, and I just had to have him!

Zig Clean Color Real Brushes were used to color the giraffe. The embossed background is a Darice folder that was swiped with Powderpuff Chalk Inks for my first embossed element. For the second, the edges (cut with Penny Black's Antique Frames), I ran some of the chalk inks around the edges and then covered and heat embossed using clear embossing powder then popped the matted image. Some enamel dots (Large, Bella Blvd. and small, Whimsy), Nuvo red and black Crystal drops for the eyes and tongue, and a tiny glossed red bird from Memory Box finished up the card.



Thanks for dropping by. I always appreciate any comments that you leave.

Happy Birthday Cat Easel Card

This week, the optional twist for Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz, is "animals." I got this cute little kitty from Bugaboo, who is our sponsor this month. It is called Critter Sign It Cat. I used Clean Color Real Brush markers from Zig. I love how bright and bold they are. The flowers, for this easel card, were made with the Garden Favorites Quilling Dies from Quilled Creations and sprayed with Copics.

Latch Card

I saw a tutorial today by Dina Kowal for Splitcoast Stampers on how to make a latch card today. I love her tutorials. I used my new Zig Clean Color brush pens on watercolor paper with a waterbrush for blending. I love the watercolor "sloppiness" that you can get with these. I wish I could afford all the colors! The latch is popped up on foam and creases are added to the back piece allowing for bending the card to open it easily.

I stamped the inside with the same image but in light Tattered Rose Distress Inks so that I could write my message over it.
This is also my coloring for day three of The Daily Marker 30 day coloring challenge. My other pieces so far can be viewed on Instagram. I am jeanchaneyaz over there.
