The Constant Scrapper

If I'm not scrapbooking I'm thinking about scrapbooking!

Sending hugs folk garden card

The story

I created this card as part of the Celebrate World Card Making Day with Pinkfresh Studio “Anything Goes” challenge. My intention was to use autumnal colors with non-seasonal stamps to create a fall-adjacent card!

Product/technique notes

I stamped and die cut the Pinkfresh Studio “Folk Garden 2” stamps and used Copic markers to color all the images. Then I used the Hexagon Tiles coverplate die to decorate the purple background cardstock and adhered the images to it. I stared at it for a good long time, trying to decide whether to add more to the design, and finally decided to ink blend a scalloped frame cut with the Stitched Scalloped Rectangles die set. I finished the design with a sentiment from the Taylored Expressions “Daisy Dreams” stamp set.

Have a wonderful day card

The story

I’m entering this card in MFT color challenge 169 and will send it to a friend.

Product/technique notes

I blended salvaged patina Distress Oxide Ink with a stencil to create the cloud background. The subtle water image is a layer of peacock feathers Distress Oxide Ink topped with a Hero Arts waves stamp using more salvaged patina ink. The stamped images are from My Favorite Things, and I colored them with Copic markers.

Sending you owl my love card

Sending owl my love card by Janice Daquila-Pardo

The story

I created this card for my hubby for our 23rd anniversary. I chose the owl theme because this summer we had the joy of being visited repeatedly by a family of six owls in our back yard. They were gorgeous and just so fun to watch and photograph.

Product/technique notes

I blended Distress Inks in five colors (aged mahogany, spiced marmalade, fossilized amber, peeled paint, and speckled egg) on the background and then laid down a second layer of each ink through the Hero Arts rain dance pattern stencil to create the look of leaves. The owls are from My Favorite Things, and I stamped and colored them with Copic markers. I’m entering this in the clean & simple challenge at A Blog Named Hero.
