There's just something so smug looking about this cat that I had to go extra girly!  I hope you'll play along with us, especially since the theme is such an easy and fun one.  In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs,

Lea

Write sentiment with black pen, add a slight shadow with silver glitter pen and underline "hello" with the red glitter pen.

Add two pieces of Washi Tape as shown.

Trim ATC base from turquoise patterned paper.

Adhere image to base.

Add some random dots of glue, sprinkle on fragments, allow glue to dry and shake off excess to return to jar.

I love to paint and I love to stamp, so, when I get to combine my two favorite things, I'm in Heaven!  This was certainly a treat to create and share with you today.  All of the lovely "Faces of Stampendous" are perfect for cardmaking and mixed media/journaling projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look at "The Look."  I'll see you again soon with more Stampendous goodness.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Dreaming of You

So, how are you enjoying the many faces of Stampendous?  Pretty darn awesome, aren't they?  For my card today, I've used Beautiful Braid rubber stamp combined with Stampendous Dreamweaver Stencil DWLG762 Fairy.  From the first time I saw this stamp, I saw butterfly and fairy wings on her back.  You will definitely see this stamp again combined with butterfly wings!

Another thing I love to do is mix the various Stampendous Essentials to get my own mix.  I love having the ability to mix the various fragments, glitters, micas and embossing powders to match my papers and colored image.  If you don't have color fragments, you need them!!  I love those delicious little flakes of color.

Here's what I used to create this card:

Stampendous® Beautiful Braid Rubber Stamp

Stampendous® Dreamweaver Stencil DWLG762 Fairy

Stampendous® Dreamweaver Regular Embossing Paste

Stampendous® Mixed Media White Paper

Stampendous® Vintage Lilac Embossing Tinsel

Stampendous® Vintage Blue Embossing Tinsel

Stampendous® Ice Blue Micro Glitter

Stampendous® Amethyst Color Fragments

Stampendous® Purple Color Fragments

Stampendous® Mint Color Fragments

Stampendous® Hot Lime Color Fragments

Stampendous® Powder Blue Color Fragments

Stampendous® Fresh Green Crushed Glass Glitter

VersaMarker™ Watermark Ink Pen by Tsukineko®

Copic® Markers

Blue Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®

Memory Box® Viola 6x6 Paper Collection

Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon

Glue Dots® - Small 

Here's what I did to create this card:

Stamp image with black ink and color with markers.

Paste emboss fairy wings onto back of girl.

Add lilac powder to wings and heat with heat gun for molten magic technique.

Using VersaMarker™, extend wing size with marker, sprinkle on blue embossing powder, heat.

Trim image closely.

Mix fragments, mica and glitters in a separate container and set aside.

Create 6x6 card base from blue cardstock.

Trim background papers as shown and adhere to card base.

Take image and edge with VersaMark™ pad, sprinkle on ice blue embossing enamel, tap off excess.

Sprinkle on essentials mix and heat powder, this will embed the mix into the powder.

Adhere image to card front.

Using glue, adhere additional mix as shown, set aside for glue to dry, tap off loose mix and return to container.

This card might look like it was complicated to create, however, it really wasn't.  It was actually quite easy to put together and I'm so pleased with the final result.

Wicked Wednesday with PolkaDoodles

It's Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog time and today our sponsor is PolkaDoodles.   Our theme this week is "Baby, It's Cold Outside."  I've used two images, Frosty Penguins Octavia and Igloo.   I loved the combined image so much, I decided to keep this one very simple and let the images shine.  I did write a little, "Brr..." with a glitter pen, though!

Here's what I used to create this ATC:

PolkaDoodles© Frosty Penguins Octavia

PolkaDoodles© Igloo

Copic© Markers

atyouSpica™ Glitter Pens in Clear and Baby Blue

Neenah© Classic Crest™ Solar White Cover Stock

Light Blue Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper©

Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon

Here'a what I did to create this ATC:

Combine images, print and color.

Trim image slightly smaller than ATC size, approximately 1/8" smaller on each side.

Write sentiment with glitter pen.

Trim ATC base from blue cardstock.

Adhere layers together.

So, what's the weather like in your part of the world?  It's been cold here in North Carolina and we even had snow on the ground yesterday.   Now it's supposed to be warm for several days and then more snow next week!  Yeah, it's bi-polar weather around here!  So, no matter the weather in your area, pretend it's cold and show us your best chilly ATC linked here.  I look forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you again real soon!

Hugs,

Lea
