Clowning Around!

Hello Crafty Friends!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day! 

Today, I want to share this crazy clown card!  As soon as I saw this clown, I knew I had to have him!  I know a friend of mine is going to be so excited when she gets this card!!! 

Stamps Used: 
Clown
Numbers set
Solid color wheel
Color wheel lines
waybill/invoice
Torn Paper

Other Supplies used:
Distress Ink-Hickory Smoke, Black Soot, Candied Apple (oxide)
Dylusions spray ink- Black Marble
Memento Ink- Tuxedo Black
Markers- Zig clean color, Blick Studio alcohol markers

I started with an A2 card base.  The clown was the 1st thing I stamped.  I then stamped him a second time on scrap paper (to use as mask).  

Once my clown was masked off, I stamped my large circle (solid color wheel) to highlight my clown.  I also added the smaller red circles (color wheel lines), and numbers.  

To add a touch more detail, I used my waybill/invoice stamp to randomly add background.  Next, I flicked some dylusions spray inks in black marble. I also added some distress edging in hickory smoke and black soot.  

While that dried, On a separate piece of paper I stamped the "torn paper" stamp.  Using my heat tool I dried this, and cut it out.  I glued this on the card front to finish everything off. 

I hope you all enjoy this little piece as much as I do! 

Happy Easter and enjoy the rest of your week.

Easy Easter Card

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today, I want to share a super cute and easy Easter card 

with Viva Las VegaStamps. 

(which could easily be adapted for any occasion)

Stamps Used:
Wind-up Bunny
Waybill/Invoice

Other Items:
A2 Card Base- Black, slightly smaller white card stock for card front
Dylusions Paint- cut grass, fresh lime
Tim Holtz products- layering stencil, distress oxide ink (broken china), Chitchat stickers
Memento ink- Tuxedo Black
Brayer
Lace washi tape
various markers

Let's Play

I started by brayering a piece of card stock with my 2 dylusions paints (all colors/products listed above), once dry I used one of my layering stencils to add some background depth.  (I used the same ink to lightly edge my card for a more blended effect). 

Next, I stamped the waybill/invoice stamp to add additional depth and visual interest.  Setting that aside, I stamped my little wind-up bunny on a separate piece of card stock.  I used various markers to color in the cute little details in my bunny, then cut her out (yep, I said her... because, why not).  

Next I began by using my Miracle tape to add my card front to my A2 card base.

I used wet glue to add my bunny, and my Tim Holtz chit chat sticker. (Of course the washi tape was plenty sticky and didn't need anything).

Well crafty friends, as you can see this is super fun and easy! 

 I hope you use this as inspiration for some cards of your own. :)

Thank you for visiting 

and

Happy Easter
