Advice From An Owl

Hello Junkies!

It's Ceal, here to share with you today. I hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday. I so wanted to share another Christmas card but I figured y'all have see enough of those for now. 

This card was made for my daughter to give to her sister in law who just graduated from nursing school.  

To create my card I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel cut down a quarter of an inch smaller. I stamped the greeting in the middle and then randomly stamped the wise owl around the outside. I used Copic markers to color him.

Happy New Year!

Winter's Butterfly

With a few more days left in December, I thought I'd go with a snowflake theme for my card today.  

I used the  Snowflakes Set of 9 set to emboss a blue card stock panel with Winter Wonderland embossing powder.  This powder is basically white with silver glitter in it. 
I embossed the winter's butterfly verse from the set onto a darker blue panel, and added a strip of silver glitter card stock along the bottom, then attached verse to the snowflake panel with foam tape to give it dimension.

I attached a silver glitter panel to a white A2 card front, then added the embossed snowflake panel to it.  A strip of the darker blue carries the color to balance out the verse.

I added some blue Ranger Enamel dots to the snowflaked, and some opal Liquid Pearls, and silver glitter Liquid Pearls dots.

The card has an icy feel to it, and I like the way the embossing powder has a subtle silver sparkle when the light catches it.  

 
I hope you are enjoying your holidays and the wind-down to the new year.

NO DECAF!

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. As you recover from all the holiday happenings, here is a little card to entertain you.

To create the card, I stamped COFFEE KITTY (SD735) on white CS and then masked it off. I stamped one of the wing sets from WHIMSY WINGS, Set of 7 (SS019) over the kitty.  The image was then colored using Tombo markers, and then trimmed down.  I cut down some patterned paper and mounted it with a solid CS, then attached that panel to the A2 kraft card base.  The sentiment from COFFEE QUOTES, Set of 13 (S224) was stamped on cream CS and cut with a die. Foam adhesive was added to the back of the kitty and sentiment and attached to the card. A little shine was added to the wings using NUVO AQUA SHIMMER. Inks used in stamping were from Memento and included Tuxedo Black (cat), Grape Jelly (cup and sentiment), and Lulu Lavender (wings).

Lots of stamps on sale this month. Be sure to check out the clearance sections for UNMOUNTED STAMPS and CLING MOUNTED STAMPS (stamps as low as fifty cents!). And also be sure to add my code at checkout to save 10%!

Hope you enjoyed the project. Have a great rest of your year!

Til next time,
Keepin' it inky!

I Saw Three Ships

Yesterday, Pat shared a beautiful background idea using glitter tape, and she has a few rolls in supply on the Technique Junkies website! Check out her post for details!

Have fun holiday shopping!

Now to my short story... After working together on a carpentry project and dinner together, our family was unwinding in the living room by singing Christmas carols while we each were glued to our electronic devices. What a sight, right? But it was a good memory as my oldest child was leading us through several songs. With all those carols popping up in my head as I began to create I came across this any occasion stamp set, and there I Saw Three Ships, another caroling song, as inspiration for my card!

Enjoy The Ride

I used Enjoy the Ride stamp set for the three sailing ships masking one to stamp for a farther distant ship in the center. Then it was all just layers of watercolors. I could have easily used chalks or markers for quicker coloring, but I liked the free flow of the watercolor style. Use Ken Oliver Color Bursts Brights Set in a palette tray, they are so vibrant used that way!

Do you spot that beautiful envelope flap? I found the Flower Trio stamp to be the perfect size for my square flap envelope! It's stamped in blue to match my card which I think makes the giving even more delightful! 

Flower Trio

I have other ideas for this stamp so stay tuned to my blog in the new year for more ideas! That's all from me today!
