CYCI #127

There is a challenge online that I've seen other people playing, and I decided to try it out.  This week's challenge was to use the colors Blue, Turquoise, and Lime.

I've been wanting to play more with my sprays, and I have the Blue Lagoon Color Splash, Electric Lime Splash, and Turbo Teal Splash which fit the challenge perfectly.  

I used some watercolor paper, and after spraying, I let it dry a little, and then blotted off the extra.

Isn't this quote wonderful? Dreams is one of the ATS stamps that you can get for free by hosting a make and take party.

 I thought about letting the quote be all on the page, but decided to add the butterfly chip (retired item).  But the technique I used can be used on any wood chip. 

I painted the wood chip with the Electric Lime Silk, and then stamped using an image from Ornamental Dream, and placed Journey Twine Black Licorice behind it trying to have three different sizes of loops to mimic the butterfly wings, adding a few Journey Sequins Blue Skies to the card with Journey Glaze 2 oz.. The color in these pictures do not do the card justice.  The Electric Lime is so bright!

 

After attaching the card front to a base of Denim Days 8.5 x 11 Cardstock cut in half with Easy Glide Permanent Adhesive Runner, I also used Ornamental Dream to stamp an image on a cardstock on the inside, using the Denim Days True Color Fusion Ink Pad and Electric Lime Ink Pad.

I love the way FSJ modeling paste looks on dark cardstock. It is such a striking contrast. And the Starburst Lines stencil is a perfect frame for bling. 

For the flower and leaf, I stamped and heat embossed onto vellum, cut it out with the matching die, and painted the back with Silks.  The color appears very muted when looking at it from the other side of the vellum.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog. All comments are greatly appreciated. 

Here Kitty kitty

Fun Stampers Journey has a program year 'round where for each $50 you spend, you can get a free ATS stamp set.  Feed Me is one of those free stamp sets. It's quick and fun to color and is great for all those cat ladies you know.  there are actually 3 different sayings that go with it.  The one shown above, "Feed Me!", and "YAY for you..." This was a very quick card. I simply stamped the cat and the sentiment, cut them out, and mounted on the Hazelnut Blend 8.5 x 11 Cardstock.  I wanted a little bit of a distressed look, so I sprinkled it with Silver Silk.  Silks are fun and easy to use.
