Stained Glass Jester

Hello.  Welcome.  It's the 15th of the month so that's a new challenge starting at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and the theme is Hip To Be Square.  The team are showcasing a particular range of really cool stamps from Carmen's Veranda which are called Squares, cos they are!!!  You can enter any stamped Square creations, or stamped creations using square elements, but do hop over and check out the inspiration from the team cos these stamps are really cool.  I used the Jester square and made a faux stained glass CAS card. 

I love this!!  I'm allowed to say that cos it's true!!  I love the stamp, I love the fact that the alcohol markers on the acetate give such a beautiful bright creation and I love that it was quick!!  No really!  Very quick.   If you ignore the time wasted while I tried to emboss the image on acetate that was not heat resistant!!  So, after I chucked that away I stamped the Jester on acetate using black Staz On.  I left it to dry and cut my gold mirror card frame using square stitch dies from Gummiapan.  Then I flipped my acetate over and used Chili Red, Sunflower, Bright Orange and Blossom Pink Promarkers to colour my image.  Scribble, scribble, scribble!!  Forgot to colour the bells!!  Oh well.  Cut the acetate, add the frame and stick it on a square white base card.  Stamp the first part of Carmen's Veranda Have a Cookie sentiment with black archival.

Then stamp the rest of the sentiment inside the card.  I saved even more time by cutting my sentiment apart!!   No need for masking and the danger of inky smudges cos I didn't mask it right, and cos it's a clear stamp it just sticks to the block as one piece or two and no one will ever know!!  Except I told you!  But that's OK, cos I know you understand.  ROFL.   

Link up your square stamped things or things with squares for a chance to win Lost Coast dollars!!  See you there.......

Some Bunny Otter Love You

Hello.  Welcome.  Happy Valentines Day every one.  Hope you all got a little extra love today.  I decided to jump on the band wagon and make a little love giving card.  Here's Poppystamps Cupcake Party Bunny giving his heart to the otter from Christmas Friends.  Is so cute!!!!!

Keeping it black and white and red and heart full.  The die is Poppystamps Heartland Oval Frame.  I made a shaker and filled it with red sparkly bits from Doodles Paper Playground Garnet and Crown Jewels Sparkle Blends.  OK, I admit, I tipped out the blends and selected just the red sequins!!!  It's a labour of love........  I cut the white panel with Stamplorations Double Stitch rectangle die and mounted on a red and white stripey base card.

Isn't that image just adorbs!   I used the CC Designs sketch, coloured my image with Promarkers and blinged up the snowman with glitter glue.  I cut the panel with Stamplorations double stitch rectangle die and added some snowflake stickers and a sentiment from The Cat's Pyjamas Polar Holiday set.

Herd From a Friend

Hello.  Welcome.  It's been a bit quiet here in my little corner of blogland.  I got hit by the dreaded flu.  By hit I mean totally slammed dunked!!  Did you get the number of that elephant??  My goodness!!  If you've had it, my commiserations.  If you haven't, DON'T GO THERE!!!!   Uuufff.  Anyway, while I was incapacitated another fabulous reveal of the Card Chain challenge occurred.  Here's the card I sent to Jo in the UK based on the sketch and the option of friendship.  

I cut the card base with Stamplorations double stitch rectangle die and then stamped the circle from Rubber Dance Grunge Stuff, the stars from Christmas Cow and the sentiment from Beautiful Words using blue dye ink.  I stamped Cute Cow and coloured it and the circle with a blue brusho wash.  I fussy cut the cow, added some googly eyes and sent him on his way.......

You can check out all the cards that winged their way around the planet last month in the January Reveal.

If you would like to join the fun the February sign up is open until the 6th February, and the March one starts on the 7th.
