Card to share

I've had this idea in my head for such a long time. I was obsessed with it when I saw all these stamps and cricut cartridge. Saved my pennies and I was able to get all the supplies together to make this one card. Yes one card!! I had to make this one card!

Here is the inside of it: I had to color in the image and then figure out the dimensions of the card based on the final size of the image. Honestly I don't even remember what the final dimension of the card is. I though I had it all figured out and then I had to start over cause I was an inch off.  A whole inch.  Math has never been my strong subject.

Breakdown and supplies:
Fist I stamped C.C.Designs Sweet November Lilliane stamp with Memento Dew Drop Tuxedo Black ink. Covered her with a stamped mask made out of Inkadinkado's stamping mask paper.  Used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to help me line up Magnolia's Castle background stamp.  Colored the whole scenery with my Copics and highlighted certain areas with my atyou spica pens all of that done on Cryogen white cardstock. I distressed the edges with Pumice Stone and Vintage Paper distress ink. Cut panels out of Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante 8x8 paper pad to cover the flaps on both sides.  On each panel I took the biggest rose and covered it with Rock Candy Distress Stickles.

Here is the front:

Breakdown and supplies:
I cut two panels out of the B side of the same patterned paper I used for the inside of the card. Used my Cricut Expression and the Ornamental Iron cartridge to cut the two gates out of  DCWV The Metallic Stack.  I used May Arts 1 1/2 inch silk ribbon which I cut in half and then colored with my Copics to match. I attached the ribbon with 1/4 inch Scor tape to the card base all the way around so the ribbon would not fall off when opened.  On the corner I die cut two small gears using Tim Holtz's Sizzix Bigz die Gadget Gears with black mat board and some left overs of the patterned paper, sprayed with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer mist. Some Recollection's Mini Roses that were toned with Copics to match and sprayed with Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Mist, two white Prima leaves sprayed with Olive Vine Glimmer Mist and some Recollections bling finish off the card.

Stamping Bella Card

Hello,
It's snowing it's butt of here in Cinci.  We're supposed to get like 8 inches or something so schools got canceled.  Husband is home playing and watching the children so I'm enjoying some peace and quiet in my room making the Thank You cards for Christmas. I'm almost done. I needed a little break so why not update the blog. I think I got my mojo back. It's been a while since I've been able to just sit down and create so I'm enjoying this very much.  I created this card a few days ago.  Stamping Bella had a fantastic sale for Cyber Monday and I've been itching to play. I got some refills for my copics so I can start playing around with them some more.

The breakdown and supplies:
I stamped Stamping Bella's gidyupabella with Dew Drop Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Colored in with Copics and atyou spika pens. I'll post the colors bellow. After everything was colored in I used  inkadinkado Stamping mask paper to cover the bella.  Then I stamped the barn from Pink Cat studio Background Plate #5-Farm as the background with Colorbox Scarlet pigment ink and grass from Flopsy I'm pulling from you MFT Stamp set(that's the best link I could find, It's an old stamp set) stamped with some green ink I've had in my stash. It doesn't have a name on it and I have not idea where I got it from. I used my Copic multi liner olive 0.05  to add a few extra streaks of grass. After everything was stamped I cut it out with Nestabilities Large Octagon. While the paper was still in the die, I used the die as a stencil. Used my Copic Airbrush systems to add some blue for the sky with my Copics. Removed the die and there is a white border around the whole image now. Added some pop dots and cut Nestabilities Large Scalloped Octagon to add another layer underneath.  Used Recollections Kraft cardstock as the card based embossed using my Provo Craft Cuttlebug and Sizzix's embossing folder Argyle #2.  Then I inked over the raised area with SU!'s Crumb Cake Classic ink. I stamped Stamping bella yeeeehawwww! sentiment and cut it out with  Shapeabilities Ribbon Tags Trio and edged it with Colorbox Scarlet Pigment ink. I took some scrap ribbon layered it thought the hole of the tag. To make it pop out is simply just tied the ribbon too tight. It was an accident at first but I liked the way it looked so I left it like that. If I wanted it to lay down all I had to do was just loosen the ribbon some.

Copics colors used:
Bv 23, Bv 25, Bv 29
