Somebunny I Love

Inspiration time for today’s Random Acts of Cardness prompt: STENCILS!

 

 

This little guy is probably my very favourite bunny stamp – I have a little figurine that looks just like him that my grandmother gave me when I was very young. <3ย  To start the card, I blended shaded lilac, blueprint sketch and chipped sapphire distress inks using a My Favorite Things watercolour wash stencil. With the stencil still in place, I applied a layer of Nebula glitter gel over the inks. While that dried, I stamped and coloured my bunny with Copics before die cutting him and the crescent moon. I also stamped and embossed the sentiment, and coloured the strip with the leftover ink on my purple brush. Once the background (finally) dried, it was an easy task to put everything together.

 

 

I hope you’ll consider joining February’s challenge! Have a great week.

I’m Dreaming of a Red Christmas Gnome…

Hello and happy Friday! It’s my turn today to pick a Random Acts of Cardness challenge prompt, and I chose RED – which just happens to be my favourite colour. ๐Ÿ™‚ย  For me, red is good all year round, but definitely comes into its own for Christmas cards – and since it’s mid-October (what?) I am all about cranking out the Christmas cards:

 

 

I even managed to incorporate a gnome! (Have you visited and commented on our Gnome for the Holidays blog hop yet? Don’t forget, one lucky commenter wins a $50 gc to the store!) I’m using the same Spellbinders Holiday Gnomes stamps that I used for my hop card, combining it with die cuts from Concord & 9th’s Cozy Christmas die set. And wait, is that the world’s oldest embossing folder in the background? Why yes, it is! I think anyone who owned a Cuttlebug back in the day has this folder, but Scrap ‘n Stamp has a fun variety of much newer folders to choose from. ๐Ÿ˜‰

 

 

If you add some RED to your next card, I hope you’ll add it to the challenge page on Facebook! And if the upcoming festive cardmaking frenzy has you needing a few new supplies, you are welcome to use my design team code, 10Lindsey, for 10% off your order. ๐Ÿ™‚

Stretching My Leaf Stamps for Fall

Can you believe it? It’s the final days of September! We are well into fall where I live in Ontario, and so my prompt today for this month’s Random Acts of Cardness Challenge is LEAVES. Of course they don’t have to be autumn leaves, but to me, it seemed appropriate. Normally I would grab a maple leaf stamp or die, but I decided to challenge myself a bit and use leaves that are perhaps not designed to be used on their own:

For this card, I am using two leaf stamps from a Concord & 9th set called Filled In Florals. Using the rock ‘n roll technique, I randomly stamped my leaves down the left side of the panel, using yellow and orange Memento inks. I don’t have a deckle trimmer (psst, Santa!), so I carefully used a deckle frame die to add interest to the right edge of my panel. The sentiment is embossed with glitter embossing powder, and I added a trio of enamel dots from my stash to finish everything off.

For my second card, I decided to experiment with some alcohol lift ink!

Okay, I was actually planning to play with alcohol inks, but I’m still a total beginner with them, so my inked panel was… not pretty. I grabbed the larger of my two leaf stamps, tapped it on the alcohol lift pad, stamped it on my inked panel, and finally stamped it onto regular cardstock. My garish panel made for subtly coloured images! I like how it gives a completely different look to the leaves. Again, being a relative newbie, I now know that the process will stain your clear stamps. Word to the wise if you like to keep your stamps pristine. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I kept the rest of my card simple, with a few scored lines and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Thanks a Latte.

If you decide to make a card with leaves on it, I hope you’ll add it to the Scrap ‘n Stamp challenge page on Facebook! Thanks for checking in today.
