I'm Puzzled!



Welcome to Stampendous Dreamweaver Thursday!  Today’s post also includes my Patty Pop Ons collaboration project.  So, basically, you’re getting Stampendous, Dreamweaver and Patty Pop Ons all in one fun creation!  If you’re not familiar with Patty Pop Ons, you can read more about them here.  Something I really like, a portion of all sales of this product benefits Cornerstone for K•I•D•S, a non-profit charity.  If you’d like to order, you can do that here!

I have several pictures for you today, so please bear with me.  I’m going to share individual photos of each piece, then pieces joined together.  That way, you get a good look at everything.

Radiant Neon® Amplify!™ in White by Tsukineko®
Copic® Markers
Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White Cover Stock
Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives
Scrapbook Adhesives™ 3D Foam Mounting Squares by 3L®

Here’s what I did to create this project:

  1. Stamp images onto white cardstock, color and fussy cut each image
  2. Using light blue ink, apply ink to upper two-thirds of each piece by rubbing pad directly onto puzzle piece.
  3. For the third piece from left, apply an oval of ink using the VersaMarker™ pen, add embossing enamel and heat.
  4. On the same piece, using VersaMarker™ pen, add ink to the remaining open area and add Spoonful mix, heat.
  5. Apply VersaMark™ pad directly to the bottom portion of the other three pieces, add Spoonful mix and heat.
  6. Adhere stamped images to puzzle pieces.
  7. Add Amplify!™ and heat for additional snow and also for smoke from train.
  8. Hold stencil over the top of each puzzle piece, apply paste with palette knife (be sure to clean stencil after each piece), set aside to dry.
  9. Stamp sentiments onto scrap paper, edge with Copic Marker B52 and adhere to puzzle piece with a 3D foam mounting square.
  10. Edge each puzzle piece with Copic Marker B52 to give a more finished appearance.




Of course there are THREE prize packages that include a surprise Stampendous Cling Stamp Set PLUS a full 12-piece set of puzzle pieces with hook fasteners included so you can pop on your puzzle pieces practically anywhere!

Wicked Wednesday with Julia Spiri

It's Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog time and this week our sponsor is Julia Spiri Stamps.  Our theme is Fall Fairies and the image I've used today is Little Fairy.  Julia's fairies are all just so adorable and this one is certainly no exception.  I love her sweet little shy smile!  Originally I was going to color her in more traditional fall colors but I decided to use a softer, sweeter version of oranges by using more apricot tones with some rose tones.  I just feel like fairies should be more pastel in color choices as opposed to darker colors.  I don't really know why I have that mindset, I just do.  It's all a matter of personal preference, like most art!!


Here's what I used to create this ATC:

Julia Spiri© Stamps Little Fairy
Stampendous® Eclectic Charms Perfectly Clear™ Stamps
Copic Markers
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad by Tsukineko
Bundled Sage Distress Ink by Ranger
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cover Stock
My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy 6x6 paper Pad
Zip Dry Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives

Here's what I did to create this ATC:

Print image, color with markers and trim to 2.25"x3.25".
Edge image with green ink.
Stamp sentiment with black ink.
Trim patterned paper to 2.5"x3.5" for ATC base.
Adhere image to ATC base.

That's it for me today!  I appreciate your stopping by to have a look!  Come back and check it out again.  I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  

Thanksgiving Blessings and hugs,
Lea
