green dragon card

Hello to anyone who's out there. I'm back to post for a challenge and even though I have the worst luck when it comes to drawings I'll keep trying!

So today I wanted to try something different I saw on someone else's blog.  They used images of the markers they used instead of typing everything down! I'm sure a lot of you have seen this already but for my first time seeing this because I myself am not much of a blog hopper I thought this was ingenious especially to someone who's as lazy as I am! the  only thing I will type down are the stamps I used. 

Stamps

Tiddly Inks - A treasured friend
Make it Crafty - Whimsical beanstalk



Markers I used to give  it a sepia feel



Colors I used on the dragons

CAS Birthday card

So today I'm blogging a birthday card I made about a week ago for my mom's birthday which is today =). I needed to make a quick card so I went with CAS.  The Image is from All Dressed Up "cute got cuter". I used Darice "paw print" embossing folder to do the frame on the outside and used a Lawn Fawn rectangle die to cut out the center. I also used scotch grass washi tape for part of the background because I was looking to do this card as quick as possible. I fussy cut my dog out and used scotch foam tape to adhere him into the rectangle giving him dimension.

Copics used:

Dog - E59, E29, E37,E39, YR27, E44, E43, Y28
Bow - B06, B04, B02, opaque white
Background - B01

Its been a crazy month! Last minute mixed media had to make for my husband to give one of his boss that just came back to work this week.  I'm actually surprised that I was able to make the time to post this on here!. I give credit to everyone that keeps up with their blog its a lot of work!  Ok so here we go....

Supplies

5x7 canvas board
Dylusions ink spray in vibrant turquoise, lemon zest, and crushed grape
Liquitex basics acrylic gesso
Decoart dimensional effects paste
Stickles diamond
decoart dazzling metallic in festive red, splendid gold, and shimmering silver
Stampendous frantage embossing powder in shabby white
Mini Cherry Blossoms stencil by thecraftersworkshop.com
paper flowers
Tiddly inks Druscilla

copics used

Skin - E04, E11, E00, E000, R20, BV000

Hair - C9, C7, C5, C5, C3

Dress - BV08, BV04, BV02, V09

Wings - BG000, B01, wink of stella Green and clear

I sprayed my canvas with the dylusions spray which I'm really loving I think its the best so far out of what I've tried which mind you isn't much but I just love the way it lays down and how it pools always giving me a nice effect. I definitely wanna get more colors in this. Once it appeared to be dry I cut out a stencil with my silhouette cameo I believe the cut was called birch trees, sold in the silhouette store. I went over the stencil with a medium thickness gesso to give it some dimension. Once that was dry I sprinkled frantage on it and used a candle lighter to melt it into place. I then used the cherry blossom stencil with dimensional paste, once dry I painted over the flowers and birds with my metallic paint.  As far as the color on the gesso and on the dimensional paste leaves it just kind of absorbed the color that was laid down on the canvas in the beginning. I used foam pop dots to place druscilla down and E6000 to glue down the flowers.


Thanks for stopping bye!

Christmas is almost here!

So its been awhile since I've posted anything. I honestly don't know how people keep up with their blogs.....maybe I'm just lazy?lol Anyway with Christmas just a week away and no recent post from me I thought I'd post a few things I had been working on this holiday season.  Unfortunately I didn't write down the copic combos I used so this isn't going to be a real detailed post!

This hat is from the silhouette store designed by Needles 'n' knowledge it's their mourners hat. I turned into my version of the mad hatters hat for a gift to give a friend for Christmas. The playing cards are also from the silhouette store I sized them to my needs and distressed them. The door knob and key hole are by tim holtz and the other metal embellishments on the hat are from wild orchids.  The display case I have it in is actually meant for a basketball it's the only thing I could find for the size I needed and price I wanted to pay, it worked out perfectly. I used a stencil I cut out on my silhouette from Bird's cards.  On the top I used visible image "grunge flourish" and stamped it with stazon.





Next is a birthday card my mom requested made for the man that takes the pictures of the winning dogs in the dog shows here. I used my copic airbrush to accomplish the clouds. The cake is from Miss Kate Cuttables. The dog attaced to the balloons is from tiddly inks and the other dogs are from my favorite things "you make my tail wag".



Next I made our mailman a Christmas card. The digi stamp is from Make it Crafty "elf delivery system" It was just to much of a perfect title for a card for the mailman I couldn't help but use the name of the stamp on the card. I embossed the title with stampedious embossing powders and did the snow with a snow marker.  Again colored in copics.



Finally I made this draw boxes to hold some mixed media canvases that my husband with give to his supervisors for Christmas. I topped the boxes off with Bow cards from Sandra's Scrapshop. I used digi stamps from Make it Crafty and Tiddly inks.



Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed my crafts as much as I enjoyed making them!
