AEIU Challenge #28

Hi Everyone! I'm so excited to be on the AE Challenge team!!!! This team is packed full of talent and I'm honored to be creating with such an amazing team! This month's challenge was so fun! Enjoy the inspiration and then join in! Details HERE . Today my kids go back to school. It's a bittersweet day. I like to spoil their teachers so I thought a fun card would start the year off right. :) My card base is my favorite non-white color....Silver Fox! The card base can be found in THIS note card collection. I started the card by painting directly on the card with white acrylic paint. Next I cut stripes of patterned paper from the  Jewel  and   Brights  6x6 collections. I stamped the sentiment from Little Minds  and created layers behind is using Signature Elements  and  Wonky Stitches . I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge!

Paper Smooches: Sugar Rush

Summer stamping is so fun! I mixed together a few sets for this fun card.  I started by stamping and die cutting the cat from Nine Lives  and colored him with Copics. The popsicle was stamped and die cut from Sugar Rush . To create the two toned color I masked the edges and the angle with post it tape and then blended in ink. The background was a also blended with a few masks and ink to create the beach scene. The hill was die cut with  Stitched Dies  and adds more dimension and fun to the card. I finished it with a few embellishments, a sentiment and paper from Crate Paper's Poolside collection.

Mama Elephant: Chance of Rain

Hi Everyone! Today I'm sharing the new stamp set Chance of Rain . This set is super adorable with fun images and sentiments that perfectly match! I created a scene with the child sheltering her little teddy bear. I colored the boots in bright colors and kept the raincoats neutral so that the boots would pop. The umbrella was also colored a fun bright color.  I wanted to add a background to the card but kept it soft so the child and bear wouldn't be lost. To do this I lightly inked the cloud using a mask I created with  Landscape Trio . Raindrops from Chance of Rain  where added using the same ink color. I added the ground using the same technique but with a different die from Landscape Trio . The final step was to add some glossy accents to the boots and add a little bit of coordinating patterned paper. Thanks for stopping by!
