Mad Hatter Girl Card - Santoro Gorjuss Stamps

This is my favorite of my Santoro Gorjuss Stamps, this one is called "The Hatter". I stamped her onto white cardstock, and colored her and the background in with Dick Blick Markers. The Dick Blick Markers are alcohol based, and some say as good as Copics, but at a much cheaper price. The only Copics I own are some skin color copics, so I couldn't really say if they are as good. I can say that I myself do like them very much, as does my pocket book. :-) I used decorative scissors to cut around the edge of the stamp and the yellow card stock behind it. I attached the stamp design to the yellow cardstock with double sided tape, then attached them to the beautiful scrapbooking paper (the green flowered background paper) It was in a set from Michaels. I love the bright colors, and thought it went well with how I colored my stamp. I'm one of those who does the stamps backwards. I've read that most people pick out the papers that they are going to use for their cards, then color their stamp according to the colors in their papers. I on the other hand color my stamp however I feel, then hope I can find some coordinating papers. LOL The butterfly stickers at the top are the only part of the card I'm not very fond of. I think it would have looked nicer with die cut butterflies, but at the time I didn't own a butterfly die set. I have sense corrected that. :-)

Happy Crafting All...

Gorjuss Just For You Card

This card I made for a friend for her birthday. The beautiful image is one of my Gorjuss stamps, this one is Gorjuss Tweed Rubber Stamp - Waiting, and you can find it here http://www.markerpop.com/catalog/gorjuss-tweed-rubber-stamp-waiting.html . I stamped her on white cardstock, and cut it to size. I then attached it to tan cardstock, and cut it a little bigger than the white. I colored the Gorjuss image with colored pencils. I used a white gel pen to add some light to her dark hair. The paper was from my scrap pile. The flower I cut using a flower design I found on the Silhouette store, and cut it with my Silhouette cameo. I secured the flower together with glue. The rest of the card I used double sided tape. The center of the flower is a decorative pearl and below that is a butterfly. I purchased them both from Michaels. The wide white ribbon I purchased a long time ago from Walmart. The "just for you sentiment" is from an old stamp I had, but don...

Mad Hatter Spray Paint Art

This piece of art I created to enter into a contest. The contest rules was you had to create something using Oramask 813 Stencil Film purchased from https://expressionsvinyl.com/ . I didn't win the contest :'-( but had fun making this piece anyway. What I used was a piece of semi smooth wood approximately 24"x18". I purchased the wood at Home Depot. The silhouette of the Mad Hatter (The Johnny Depp version) I found online. I transferred the silhouette into my Silhouette program, traced it in the program, and cut it with my Cameo. The Wording at the bottom is one of the scripts that came with my Silhouette program. I also cut it out with my Cameo. I then weeded the whole thing....it took a lot of time, but I think was worth it. I weeded it backwards, so there would be no film in the areas that I wanted the design to show. The only stencil I left was the stencil in the negative areas. Reason being this was to be applied to the wood and spray painted. First I add...

Ice Cream Birthday Card

Isn't this little girl just adorable!? I made this card last night. I still haven't added the "Happy Birthday to it yet, as I'm not sure if I want to do it on the outside, or the inside of the card. This one will just join the pile of cards I have completed, to have (just in case) I need one. So it wasn't made for a specific person. This time though I knew I was going to add it to my blog, so I made sure to document what I used. The paper is from Paper Pad - Happy Day (From Michaels), isn't it cute? I love the ice cream cones. :-) I had cut the banner strips. The circles I used Cute Oval Circle Set Cutting Dies from Amazon. I used double sided tape to secure everything together. The super cute image is from Overstock.com - Stamping Bella 'Lacie Has An Ice Cream' Unmounted Rubber Stamp. Her skin was colored with Copic's E000, E00, and E93. The ice cream, and the flowers on her glasses were colored with glitter gel pens. I use Janmit Gel pens pur...
