EYES OF ADVENTURE AND FABLES

GO HERE FOR THE SWEET STOP SKETCH

Hello Everyone!!! If this is your first stop of the day, you will want to head back to the beginning which is Danni's Blog to see all of the FABULOUS new images - otherwise, if you came from Kim's Blog, you are in the RIGHT PLACE! It is time for another exciting SCACD Stamp Release!!! SCACD is thrilled to bring you the follow up to the super sweet Eyes of Beauty and Dreams Collection with Newest Eyes of Adventure and Fables Collection. We definitely think the Eyes have it!!! These eyes just capture your heart and even better each stamp comes with an accessory image!!! Today I get to introduce Bon Jour Eyes and  Oceanic Eyes...

I thought I would try a little whimsical painting with this image. I stamped the Oceanic Eyes Beauty in Black Staz On Ink and grabbed my Tim Holtz Water Brush and stippled and painted with 3-D Stamp Paint in Lime Green, Rose and Gold. I used the Craft Concept Silver Fern embossing folder on white cardstock and sponged it with pink ink. I mounted the Take Note Collection patterned paper on Chocolate card stock and paper pierced with my piercing tool. Using the Ornate Hinge Dies by SCACD I added an embellishment along the side and created a little sea plants. Using the Viva Pearl Paint Brown, I added some detailing in the corners.

 Isn't the little sea creature CUTE????

Now for a  REGAL LADY called Bon Jour Eyes ...  As soon as I saw her, I envisioned her in RED! I tried something a bit different for her hair color using a new color combo for me. I used Copic Markers in E49, E44, E43 then added E39. Susana has the Shinhan Art Markers too - check them out!

 

I used the Teresa Collins Christmas Cottage Designer Paper  as the background and colored the  Bon Jour Eyes and cut her out using paper snips to create a look of a formal ball room. Using the beautiful Dies by SCACD I used the Alice's Clock Statement Corner to create a ballroom clock and the Vintage Fountain Die.  I used the Susana Loves Stamp Mixed Media stamp called The Authentic Words colored it and cut it out and mounted it on Sticky Thumb Dimensionals. To finish off the project I used

Quixotic Paperie will be carrying these so all of our International friends can get yours HERE!  Have a blast being inspired by these beauties, as our Design Team shares their GORGEOUS creations!  Now - let's CRACK THAT WHIP!!! From here you will head on over to Alex's Blog and see what she has in store for you!

 Have fun Hopping! Have a wonderful day!

Happy Saturday sketch lovin' friends!!! It is SWEET STOP SKETCH SATURDAY!!!

Now are you ready for some details on my project? SCACD has a brand new release and it is ALL about the Eyes of Adventure and Fables Collection. On my project, I used the Steampunk Eyes! I LOVE this image! So fun and funky! I colored her in using COPIC MARKERS and cut the image out using my Craft Scissors.  The FANTASTIC paper is called Country Boutique by Fancy pants and I stamped the heart with wings from Her Majesty's Eyes  and stamped it with Gold Ink.

I took the Kaiser Craft Wooden Flourish Clock and  painted it with Creative Inspiration Paint Onyx and the Viva Pearl 3-D Paint Gold using the  Tim Holtz Water Brush . I then used the Viva Pearl Pen in Black for the center of the clock. I used a Scallop edged punch and added some decals with the Viva Pearl Pen in Black

 Here is our sketch for this week....

SHIMMERY SHELL

HELLO Everyone!!! It's Saturday and that means it is SWEET STOP SKETCH DAY!!! Today, we have a fabulous sketch for you and I had LOTS of fun playing today!!!

 

On todays project, I painted the Blank Canvas Shells stamps with  Creative Inspirations Paint: Antique Copper, Burnt Clay and the Tim Holtz Water Brush. I layered the Vintage Finds Patterned Paper by Teresa Collins on Dark brown card stock. Once all of the layers were adhered, I painted a coat of the Stewart Gill Galactica Mixed Media Fabric Paint 

over the entire card. I stamped the solid Blank Canvas Shells and used the Perfect Pearls Metallics and finished the card with a ribbon and the Viva Pearl Pen Brown  around the focal image.

I would LOVE it if you joined us in the Sweet Stop Sketch this week! Please take some time to check out what the rest of the Talented Sugar Baby Team has put together for your inspiration.

A Little Vintaj Fun!

Hello Everyone - Today I am going to share a project using the fabulous Vintaj Natural Brass Hardware and Patinas.   I have a short tutorial HERE.

Susana has a bunch of fabulous folders with several designs for you to choose from Vintaj Sizzix Embossing Folders -I used the Vintaj Sizzix Embossing Folders - Acorn Hollow 

 Use the Vintaj Relief Sanding Block to create more contrast and shine to the raised embossed areas.  Using the Tim Holtz Water Brush  and the Patinas in the colors you choose ( I used the Weathered Copper Patinas) stipple the opaque ink on the surface. Using a paper towel, blot off the excess color. Allow to dry for a few minutes. Clean the brush on scrap paper. Use the Vintaj Relief Sanding Block to finish and polish your embellishment.

 Stamps: Sampler #6, Peaceful Hat
Paper: Bazzil, the Country Boutique Fancy Pants Designs Patterned Paper
Accessories and Tools:Confection Perfect Pearls, Creative Inspirations Paints - Emerald, Green Olive, Red, Tan, Viva Pearl Pen Red , Gold and Dark Brown, Vintaj Sizzix Embossing Folders - Acorn Hollow , Tim Holtz Water Brush,  Weathered Copper Patinas, Big Shot, Vintaj Relief Sanding Block, Vintaj Natural Brass Hardware and Patinas.


Another idea is to stipple the color directly to the brass Vintaj. Blot with Paper Towel and add a second third color. Blot and if desired, add third color.

 Use the Vintaj Relief Sanding Block to finish and polish your embellishment. Then CREATE!

Here are the details for this project:
Stamps: The Storybook Collection
Cardstock: Not Quite Navy, Craft, Eggplant
Accessories: Smooch ColorSpray Navy and Grapeburst, Crafters Workshop Treescape, 
Copic markers, , Viva Pearl Pen Gold, Vintaj Hardware Wildflowers,  Tim Holtz Water Brush,  Weathered Copper Patinas,

If you have time, Marti has taken some time to make an awesome video here too!
I hope you enjoyed my project today! Have a wonderful week!
