June Copic Cards

Hi Everyone!
Today I wanted to share with you the two cards we made in my June Copic Cards class at Scrapp'n Savvy. It's a great class to practice your Copic coloring skills, learn new techniques and get instant feedback and help from me while you are coloring. I've been so amazed and impressed by how quickly everyone is improving!.

The first card we worked on used an image from Tiddly Inks. The focus was to work on the hair and work on blending the red and blue on her bathing suite, which can be a challenge because those colors are highly pigmented. She was so much fun to color!

 The second card we did used a free image from Beccysplace. We focused on learning woodgrain and stone texture. We really had to work on long thin flicking strokes to get the texture. I love how it turned out and again everyone did so well!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!!

ECD June Design Team Challenge- Cling Stickers!

Hi Everyone!
Did you know that you can make repositionable cling stickers from Peel-offs and Transfer sheets? Add a little glitter and copics and you have a cling sticker that can be used to decorate any slick surface- windows, laptops, tablets, phones, mirrors- the possibilities are endless!

Today I created a unique gift card- Everything you see on the front that is glittered is a repositionable cling sticker! They are stuck to the card front but will easily peel off to be placed anywhere the recipient would like.  It's a card and the clings are the gift!

You can view a video by Els that explains how to make the repositionable stickers HERE. Basically all you have to do is adhere double sided adhesive to a piece of transfer sheet the same size as your Peel-Off. Cover with Warm or Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter and color as usual with your Copic Markers. Once colored trim out closely and lift it off the transfer sheet release sheet and you have a repositionable sticker great for gifting! I left the backing on my butterfly so that when I attached it to the card front I could fold the wings out a bit. You can see it on the picture below of the stickers added to the back of a Kindle. So fun!

I hope you give it a try- its fun and easy and sure to bring a smile to whomever the lucky recipient is.

Be sure to stop by the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to check out the post with all the other DT members challenge creations. They are all amazing and sure to inspire!

Thanks for stopping by!

ECD May Design Team Challenge - Sparkly Split Negative Card

Hi Everyone!
It's the end of the month and that means it's time to share my card for the Elizabeth Craft Designs May Designer Team Challenge- flat cards. I've created a split negative card using lots of sparkly glitter and the positive and negative pieces of the Flower Labels 1 Peel- offs. I have to apologize- I have been down with the stomach flu and wasn't able to do a photo tutorial for you but I will walk you through the instructions and supplies. Hope you  enjoy the card!

 Instructions:
1. Fold a white 4 1/4 x 11 cardstock in half to form an A2 size card base. Cut a white piece to 4 x 5 1/4. Cover with double sided adhesive. Remove the release sheet and cut it in half with a paper trimmer. Place one half of the release sheet on the tape and sprinkle Basic Black Silk Microfine Glitter. Polish well before removing the release sheet.  Glitter the other side with Antique Silver Silk Microfine Glitter. Brush off excess and polish well to set.
2. Apply double sided adhesive to a piece of white cardstock big enough for the Peel- Off and another big enough for the negative. Apply the Peel-Off to the release sheet sticky side up and place the adhesive covered cardstock over it to transfer the Peel-Off. Glitter with Antique Silver and polish. Trim closely.
3 Glitter the remaining adhesive covered cardstock with Antique Silver. Using a transfer sheet, transfer the negative pieces of the Peel -Off to the glittered piece. Trim out leaving a slight edge.
4. Place both glittered pieces on top of each other, exactly lined up and cut in half with a paper trimmer. Match up one of each side, opposite the color of the base card below-for your focal image. This gives you the split negative look.Adhere to a white base, trimmed closely but leaving a slight edge.
5. Diecut white cardstock using the smallest of the Katie Label accessory dies. Stamp sentiment in black. Add Glitter Border Strips to sentiment and on card front down middle and both sides. Add split negative piece and sentiment on pop dots to complete.

Hello Sunshine

Hello everyone!
Just a quick post today to share this card that I designed for my DistINKtive cards class last month at Scrapp'n Savvy.  I loved using the Pink Paislee Hello Sunshine stamp/diecut set and paper line. It was a fun card to make! One thing my students enjoyed learning was on the big yellow sentiment. We embossed it with white embossing powder and then went back with red ink and sponged it over the middle to make the word "happy" really pop. You then rub any residual ink off the embossing with a wet wipe and it looks fabulous!
