OCC Clear & Sheer 2.1 Bday Penguin

Wednesday's challenge was to create a card with vellum and a technique.

I chose to do a couple, I embossed the tree and Copic colored on the backside of the vellum.  Then die cut, colored and mounted two images and a banner on foam tape to the front of the vellum.  This was then mounted over a background with a printed pattern (small yellow flowers).  All the foam tape was hidden when mounted onto the background paper, and I used Multi Medium Matte to attach the vellum to the background behind the foam and the palm tree.

I'm also adding this to:

   TimeOut #55 - Celebrate, with a twist of die cutting!

Supplies:

   Neenah CS 80#, 100#

   Stamps - My Favorite Things Penguins In Paradise (NBUS); Altenew Birthday Greetings (NBUS)

   Dies - My Favorite Things Wonky Stitches (NBUS); Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangles (NBUS); My        Craft Spot (closed)    - Banners Straight

   Copics, Simon Says Stamp White ep, Paperbilities patterned paper

Stay tuned, two more days of class!  Thanks for taking your time to visit!

OCC Clear & Sheer 1.1 -- Love You Forever

Greetings, Friends!  I wanted to share with you my first card from the new Online Card Class: Clear & Sheer.  Today (or yesterday actually) was about attaching vellum.  So I made this card and attached my vellum by hiding Kool Tak behind the embossed words and under a couple hearts.

So while I was successful with attaching and hiding my tape, somehow in the pic the sentiment looks like it's warped which it isn't IRL, so clearly I must practice keeping my vellum taute while securing!  I'm also enclosing a close-up so you can enjoy the shimmer from the Inka Gold, as I do  :o)

And just in case you can't tell, this one is for the Hubbs because he's so awesome in letting me play!

Supplies:  

  CS: Neenah 80#, Strathmore 140#, TPS blue vellum

  Inka Gold -- steelblue, jade green and silver; HA silver EP and VersaMark

  Dies:  SSS Stacked Hearts and Big U (both NBUS)

I'm also posting this to:

  SSS Monday:  Show us your metal (Inka Gold and silver embossing powder)

Here's to hoping Hump Day treats you well, and we're all sliding towards the weekend now!  Later!

OCC Holiday Style Day 7.1

This card is one that I have some critiquing about, some "wishing I woulda"s, but here it is cuz I'm still learning right?

..

Well, I think I would've stuck to silver and gold on the sentiments OR just blue maybe but not all three.  Live and learn...

OCC Holiday Style Day 5

Here is my little scene created from Day 5 of class, Cute & Whimsical Cards.  I loved making this one; probably my favorite, replicating Laura Bassen's whimsy!

This card was not only my first attempt at masking, but also at embossing paste AND copic coloring something that was actually an entire scene not just a small image.  However, I just noticed that I forgot to draw in the rope from the sled to the elf!!!  Oops!

OCC Holiday Style Day 3.2

Here is my Two-Tone Elegance card from our class.  This was TOTALLY inspired by Debby Hughes in all her wonderful talent!  Sorry, I copied it almost every inch, and what I didn't, I totally would change something about "my stamp" on it!

OCC Holiday Style Day 3.1

This card is taken from Day 3 of our class, Kristina Werner's video.  I didn't have a similar stamp, so I used one that I thought would work well for the Classic Style she was going for.

This stamp is from an older set from Close to My Heart.

OCC Holiday Style Day 1.3

This card is taken from Day 1, Laurie Willison's video for Shapes and Masking with Markers.

If I had to critique this one, and trust me I have, I would use a little bigger image or a smaller card base.  However, I really wanted to use this image from PTI and I didn't think of reducing the card until, well you know -- too late!

Maiden Post - OCC Holiday Style Day 1.1

Well, here it is in all its glory - lol.  My guts are churning just to do this, I'm not one to put myself out there but this has been a long time coming and a lot of emotions.  This card is for the Online Card Class, Holiday Style.  This card is from Day 1, Simple Scenes from Julie Ebersole's video.

Ok, I did it, I posted something on the big bad scary internet!
