Challenge 181 - Add a Brad

Art Impression Challenge 181 - Add a Brad.   I love Art Impression stamps, and this new stamp I found at Michael's is no exception.  I added flowers and brads to two of the girls hats to make they really big and stand out.  Here's my card for the challenge:
 

 

The image comes from the stamp set  New Hampton ART IMPRESSIONS RUBBER STAMP clear cling set GOT STYLE.  The saying for the card was from anther AI set - Dare to be Fabulous.  I thought how perfect with the BIG accessorized hats.  :)

 

I made the background by following a post  - Caught In Crystal  by PartiCraft. 

 

First you squeeze 3D Crystal Lacquer acetate. 

 

 

Then you drop alcohol inks.

 

 

Then lightly sprinkle some perfect pearls that blend with your colors.

 

 

Lastly you crinkle up  a piece of tissue paper and then lay it on top & pat down - I used my brayer.

 

 

The let it dry.

I couldn't get a picture without a glare - but this is the end result.  My tissue paper was too big - but my first try I made it too small! So I figured it was easier to cut off the excess after it dried!    I made this with a 8.5 x 11 piece of acetate so I could cut it into several backgrounds. 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

As always I love to read all comments!

April's Showers & Flowers

This week's theme at April's blog is flowers and showers.  Today I made my flower card for April.  
 

The images are from Lawn Fawn - Our Friendship Grows and its corresponding dies. 

 

I colored this card with Copics - YG25, YG03, E35, E15, E18, E23, Y18, YR15.

I used Lea'bilitie die - Flower frame for the frame around the flowers and for a little extra on the inside. 

Here's the inside. 

 

I also used pop dots to give dimension to the card. I added a little white gel pen on the flowers also.  Here's a view from the side. 

That's it for today.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by. If you have a chance leave a comment and say hi!

Hugs!!

Get Well

A couple people asked about the card that was on my desk on WOYWW. I had made it a couple days ago for a friend at work.  Here's a better picture of it:

If you can't read the sentiment it says 'That's why the call it I.C.U'.   It's a new Art Impression stamp found at Micheal's. I just loved it!  I colored it with my Copics.  I added a little extra swirl using my new die from Lea'bilitie - Frame elegant.

Thanks for stopping by. If you get a chance leave a comment I love reading them all!

Have a great day!
