In The Meadow

I created the template free hand on thick cardstock to make a template for the coffee cup, lid and coffee collar. Then I used the templates to cut each piece of colour coordinated cardstock from my stash. The cardstock I chose for the coffee collar is a very finely corrugated paper that I felt best resembles those one gets from a coffee shop. I punched snowflakes from coordinating cardstock and put a wee tiny red jingle bell in the centre. The sentiment is from Gina K "Sparkling Christmas" Stamp TV Kit.

Happy Holidays

Mod Squad Challenge "Trees and Snow"

The sentiment and the snowflake dies are from Gina K Designs.

To create a "shadow" for depth on the snowflakes, I also cut them out in black and placed them just a tad over from the gold ones on top and then popped them up with dimensionals.

The base of the card is gold with tiny white snowflakes. Then a layer of black cardstock, then a layer of white velum with gold snowflakes and finally, another piece of velum that had a pine tree print in black. 

I heat embossed the sentiment on black then framed it in gold sparkle paper. These papers are all from my stash.

Spooky Halloween

I had lots of fun with the design of this card. The stamp is comprised of all different themed sections, and therefore, when focusing on one particular area, I had to keep in mind colour coordination to keep it flowing together. 

The medium I used was Twinkling H2O's watercolours.

This type of watercolour has a shimmer/glitter mixed into it and, after adding water to the H2O's, you apply with a watercolour brush. 

Very time consuming method, but the end result is a project well with the effort.

Winter Cardinal

The medium used to colour the cardinal was Twinkling H 2O's. Highlights were added with a Sakura Clear Star Pen and Ranger glitter.
