Anything Goes with a Splach: Glitter and a Ribbon

May is over and it is now June 1st, which means it is time for a brand new challenge here at One Crazy Stamper.  The challenge for this month is “Anything Goes with a Splash: Glitter and a Ribbon.  For my card today, I used the Smooch Embossing Folder from Couture Creations.  I used a combination of Copic Markers, Atyous Spica Glitter Pens, and Faber Castell Gelatos to colour the image.  I also added a wobble to the bird.

Bella’s Birthday

Hi Everyone;

Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend, it was certainly nice to have an extra day off work.  It was a good weekend to accomplish some gardening, cleaning and play.   For today’s post for OCS, I have used this adorable stamp from Wild Rose Studio called Bella’s Birthday. I paper pieced the balloon and added a couple of more.

Enjoy the Little Things!!!

Hi Everyone;

It is Wacky Wednesday and it looks like Spring has finally come.  Trees are beginning to show their leaves, flowers are starting to bloom and birds are making their nests including the one on top of the light by my front door.

Today’s post for OCS is using this adorable stamp called Flower Girl from the Time for Tea Designs Collection by Whimsy Stamps.  I also played with some Taffeta Vertigo Film from Imagine Crafts, the Hardy Geranium a Sizzix die from the Susan’s Garden collection and Pan Pastels.  It took a few attempts to get the effect that I wanted for the flower.  I soaked the cut pieces in some hot water for a few minutes and this helped to soften the film to make it a bit more flexible.   I had to be careful with the Pan Pastels, as the glue would take a bit of it off.  I will be trying other mediums to add colour to the Vertigo Film.

Best Wishes!!!

Hi Everyone;

It has been quite a while since I have been able to use any other mediums then Copic Markers, so I thought for today’s post for One Crazy Stamper, I would try the Inktense pencils.  I also went out of my comfort zone a bit.  I used this same image on the 1st of the month, completely different layout and Copic Markers were used at that time.

I touched a wet paint brush to the tip of the Inktense pencil and transferred this to a craft sheet.  This was done a few times, so that there was a small pool of colour on the sheet.  I used a stem stitch and Hot Pink Sulky thread around the die cuts.

There are still a few days left to enter this month’s “Anything Goes” challenge. Please DO NOT use a Digital Image.  In the meantime, check out Lora’s store One Crazy Stamper for some amazing deals.

So Precious!!

Hi Everyone;

It is another Wacky Wednesday and mother nature seems out of synch with the weather.  Sunday was a beautiful Spring Day and yesterday it snowed; it seems winter came back.  Wish Spring and Summer would hurry up and come — I certainly hope that summer will not be as extreme as winter has been.

For today’s post for One Crazy Stamper, I have used this adorable image from Wild Rose Studio called Bella Sleeping; a perfect image to welcome a new addition to a family.

There is still plenty of time to play along at OCS‘s “Anything Goes Challenge” this month; please do not use a digital image for a change to win a YNS prize pack.  Also check out Lora’s store OCS for some amazing products and prices.

Until next time, keep crafting!
