ARTplorations Barley Stencil-Sanna Lippert Designs

Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies

Full of Thanksgiving-Typografia Thankful

I used Sanna's new Barley Stencil for this Fall colored Stencil Monoprint image.

I securely taped down the stencil over Mixed Media paper 

and sponged with Distress Oxides,  spritzing with water.

Colors used: Antique Linen, Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade 

and Ripe Persimmon.

Removed stencil and blotted with paper towel to remove excess puddles.

Loved the results!

Next die cut  the border and placed in MISTI to stamp sentiment 

with Distress Oxide,  Peeled Paint and heat embossed with clear eb powder.

Attached to card base and done!

Wishing you all a Thankful Holiday season.

CAS Watercolour Tree

September CAS Watercolour Tree Challenge hosted by Loll.

Be sure and check out the gorgeous cards by the DT and very

CAS talented GD Ros (Mikey's Mom).

I am sharing 2 Bister pigment inks Stenciled Monoprint Trees card.

They are the same except a little different Bister ink colors.

The 1st card uses Blue and Green Bisters.

The 2nd card uses Yellow and Green Bisters.

I can't chose a favorite.  Can you?  

I used a favorite ARTplorations "Christmas Tree 1" Stencil by Sanna Lippert Designs.

I taped down over Strathmore Mixed Media paper and sprinkled

with Bisters pigment powders: Blue and Green.

Then liberally spritzed with water and carefully removed stencil and

set positive monoprint aside to dry.

Then turned stencil over onto another piece of MM paper and pressed down stencil 

 to move ink around paper.  Removed stencil and set negative image aside for future use.

Yes,  I have a nice stash of negative and positive Stencil monoprint images:-)

Rolled a role of paper towels lightly over image to soak up any puddles.

When image dry I die cut with CUTplorations Die and placed in MISTI.

Next stamped the STAMPlorations Typografia Christmas "Christmas in the Heart" stamp

using Archival Jet Black Ink.  I stamped a couple times for good coverage.

Next attached to SU Whisper White card base.  Added a tiny halogram star to

the top of the stamped sentiment and Done!

The 2nd card was exactly the same except for using Bisters Yellow and Green

pigment powder.  I was so happy with both cards.

Thank you Loll for a fun challenge.  Enjoy and Hugs..

Tomorrow..the 17th is the last day for Loll's tag event showcasing a tag by Loll and her Guest Designer,  but you still have until the 24th to post your tags.

The Guidelines for the challenge are that it must be a mixed media Christmas Tag (any style, any size), which includes stamping, plus at least two mixed media elements (techniques or products.)

Here is my Day 11 Peace, Love & Joy Tag!

I used some favorite Christmas products on this tag and a favorite color combo!

CUTplorations Luggage Tag Die Cut (large), new STAMPlorations Typografia Christmas Stamp.."Peace, Love and Joy" and ARTplorations mini Holly Stencil.

I used a favorite color combo: SU Crumb Cake card stock, Cherry Cobbler EB powder, marker and ribbon (ret) and Gumball Green marker (ret).

I die cut the tag, heat embossed the sentiment and then stenciled the holly.  Next I added the ribbon and twine.  I die cut another tag with Cherry Cobbler CS and attached to the back of front tag.

A really quick and easy tag that went together exactly as I had imagined:-)

Day 1 Twelve Tags of Christmas with Loll and Friends!

I am so excited that Loll is inspiring us all with her 4th Annual Twelve Tags of Christmas with Loll and Friends!

Here is my Day 1 Christmas Tag!

Loll's Annual Tag Event inspires me every year to get my tags done for the trays of Norwegian Krumkakes that I share with friends and special people on my list!  Thank you my friend:-)

Since I used a Brushos background from my stash this tag was quick and easy.  I had used Purple and Ultra Marine Brushos + Indigo Color Burst pigment powders on my craft mat and spritzed liberally with water.  Then smooshed my Strathmore Bristol watercolor paper onto the inks.  Let dry and added to my stash.

I used CUTplorations Luggage Tag Dies (lg size) to cut my tag.  This has become my favorite Tag dies.  I love the shape and the 3 sizes.  Next I splattered diluted acrylic white paint with a flat paint brush.  When dry I used my MISTI  to stamp my new STAMPlorations Typografia Christmas: "Merry Little Christmas" stamp with Archival Jet Black ink.  I have 3 of the Christmas sets and they fit perfectly inside the Large Luggage Tags:-)  So quick and easy:-)  Great for cards too.

Next I sponged the edges of tag with SU Elegant Eggplant ink.  Then sprayed the entire tag with a glittery spray I make using Frost White Tsukineko ink.  So glittery and shiny IRL.  Added my ribbons and done:-)  I loved the results.  One tag done and 11 to go...at least that is my goal!

Be sure and check out Loll and her Guest Designer's Tags that she shares each day of her event..Nov. 6th thru the 17th:-)  I guarantee..you will be Inspired!  They just have to be a Christmas Theme using stamping and at least 2 mixed media products...easy!  Happy Tag creating my friends.  Hugs..

CAS Mix Up November Glitter Challenge

CAS Mix Up November Challenge Glitter Hosted by Bonnie is...Perfect for holiday cards!

Here is my very Glittery 6 3/4" x 3 3/4" Christmas Card!

I was playing with my new My Favorite Things Rectangle Peek-a-Boo Window die.  I had die cut the window using a Brushos background splattered with white acrylic paint that was in my stash.  Next I  die cut a SU Thick Whisper White scrap piece of cardstock and laid aside, but time for bed.

Walked into my room the next morning and "My" light bulb switched on.....!!  I had my new STAMPlorations "Merry Little Christmas" stamp laying next to my project and realized it fit perfectly under the die cut window scrap:-)  Now no longer a scrap that would get trimmed,  but a 6 3/4" x 3 3/4" card format!  Love when that happens.

I die cut my IO Fir Trees Dies out of SU Silver Glimmer Paper and attached to window background.  Next I stamped my sentiment using my MISTI and Versamark.  Heat Embossed using SU Iridescent Ice EB Powder.  Very glittery IRL along with the glittery trees.  I added a hologram silver star from my stash and Done.

With all the glitter...it took almost as long to photograph..lol!  I wish you could see IRL...really pretty!

You have until the 24th to play along in our CAS Mix UP Challenge.  Be sure and check out all the gorgeous cards from our DT and our very talented Guest Designer Robyn (Waterlily Cards).  Have a fun Glittery November.  Hugs..
