Pocket Card for Birthday Cash

Happy 14th birthday to my grandson, TJ! I used this wonderful stamp by Dove Art Studios, C.C. Designs, called Pocket Background. I used a similar layout that Jenn showed in her class back in February. (Lucky me; I live in the same area where Jenn gives Copic classes!)

I used the traditional "denim" Copic colors of B91-93-95-97. The image is stamped twice and cut out once in order to make a pocket for filling with money or a gift card. Rivets are made with brads.

Bear Friend from PpinkyDolls

The optional Twisted Thursday twist over at The Outlawz, is "transportation"! I'm not sure I would want to travel bear back! (pun intended) However, I got this sweet little image called Bear Friend from our sponsor this month, Ppinkydolls and had fun putting together a, free from Birds Cards, SVG scalloped card using my Scan n Cut. I also used some Gina Marie Designs Dies for the smaller circles. I added some Distress Inks around the edges and a few little flat pearls.

I trimmed of a small portion across the bottom scallop so that it would stand.

PigWit Cold Suds

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #155 offered a sketch and an optional twist to Use a circle. Okay, I was smitten by Birdbrain, but this cute little pig is a close runner up. The image is called PigWit Cold Suds and I think he is just too cute with his mug of beer. This will go to one of my sons who is often seen with one of those green bottles LOL! The circle was cut with Gina Marie Designs die and the papers come from The Paper Studio Eat Cake. The image is edged with Distress Inks and popped up for interest.

Copic Colors Used

 A clear gel pen was added over the glass, bottles, hooves, and foam.

Ice Cream Lineup

The monthly progressive challenge, From the Heart, offers this fun ice cream lineup set. Who couldn't love one (or all) of these yummy looking bowls of ice cream? The sentiment comes with the set. The edge of the white cardstock was edged with the same Copic green as the mint ice cream. The papers are from My Creative Scoop. I added some Wink of Stella and some Glossy Accents and popped the image up on foam tape.

Gran's Chair with Double Stamping

The June Progressive Freebie is now open over at The Outlawz. This month our digi is from Beccy Muir of Beccy's Place. I thought this image, Gran's Chair Set, was so pretty and I wanted to make a pretty background for it as well. I did my first double stamping technique using a set from Hero Arts called Butterfly and Flower Stamp and Cut and kept the coloring very loose with a water color look. I added Distress Inks edge the Gina Marie Designs die cut. The image and one additional flower were popped up. The sentiment is from the same Hero Arts set and is popped up as well.

Fantail Goldfish with Distress Inks

I'm working my way through the Online Classes from Tim Holtz called Creative Chemistry 101 again. All of us that have taken the classes before are doing reviews before the new one, 103 begins in August. I think it is great to redo these lessons and I decided to apply one to a completed card. I started with watercolor paper and did the Distress Inks smooshed onto the craft sheet with added water technique. I added several layers and then stamped the fantail goldfish by Dove Art Studious for C.C. Designs and fussy cut them out. Then, I did a second watercolored version with different blues and edged with a darker blue for the background. The fish are added with dimensional foam, I added some Glossy Accents to the eyes and for some bubbles in the water. I backed it with a piece of Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Collection paper and attached to a A2 card base. Love this technique!

Unicorn Betsy

This week's optional twist over at The Outlawz, Twisted Thursday, is "animal". Our sponsor, Ppinkydolls, has this sweet little girl with her unicorn, called Unicorn Betsy, that I just found irresistible. I was really in the mood for some fun, so I colored the unicorn in magic colors. I used a corner punch on the image, edged it with Distress Inks, and popped it up with foam. The background is a paper sunburst that I made using origami papers. I added burlap butterflies that I sprayed with my Copic air brush. The sentiment, also popped, is from a Tim Holtz Small Talk pad.
