Karen Burniston Feathered Friends for Atlantic Hearts Challenge

Happy Fall Y'all!  I love this sentiment and those of you that follow me know I love to paper piece.  Creating this lil' turkey was so much fun!  I used lots of specialty papers and plenty of inking to shade my little guy.  I made this using the latest sketch from Atlantic Hearts Challenge Sketch #656.

Here is the sketch, it's so universal.

I absolutely love the plaid background paper I used.  I found coordinating papers especially the golden brown mat layer that brings out the same color in the plaid.

Here's a close up of my paper piecing.

DCWV Boho Feather Thanks card

Hello and thanks for checking out my blog today.  As I am fond of doing, I have combined a couple of task in today's card.  First, I am participating in a card swap with a feather theme.  I knew the papers and embellishments I wanted to use so I perused the sketch blogs for something that worked.

I found the perfect sketch over  Sketch N Scrap.  It was perfect with the feather paper I wanted to use and the strips of paper across the middle was a great way to diffuse the busy print.

I made enough for my swap and an extra one to keep!

Joy Clair & Quick Quotes Promotion Day 4!

Good morning, I hope you are enjoying the Joy Clair and Quick Quotes Promotion and Giveaway.  Alicia with you today.  I very much enjoying working with the Joy Clair stamps I received.  I had a blast coloring this image with a water brush and Powderpuff chalking inks so much so, I made two cards!  Actually I used the negative to create the second card.  You can just let the scraps go to waste, can you?

 

 To create this vibrant card I used the following steps:

• Stamp image twice on white card stock
• Die cut shapes in the desired areas
• Color only the die cut pieces using a water brush and Powderpuff chalking inks
• Cut a piece of coordinating Serenade paper to make very thin mat for your die cut pieces
• Ink all edges with  Powderpuff chalking inks
• Layer all the pieces and use pop dots to adhere directly over the same area on second stamped image
• Stamp your sentiment on top of image in a bold color to coordinate
• Use the same Serenade paper (black) to create a layer to back the entire stamped portion 
• Mount this on more coordinating Serenade paper and adhere to card stock

 

Here's a close up of my circle die cuts colored and mounted.

I mounted the stamped image at an angle to make the card more striking.

My second card uses the negative because I just could toss the beautiful image.  It did require one more stamped image on white.  Here are the steps I took to create the second card:

• Begin with negative die cut and one more stamped image on white card stock
• Place the negative on top of the full image and determine the area you need to color, you could use a pencil but I just approximated
• Color your selected area with a water brush and Powderpuff chalking inks
• Stamp sentiment in a bold coordinating color on image
• Ink the edges with Powderpuff chalking inks
• Cut the images down to desired size, here I left it 5.5" long but trimmed the sides 
• Pop dot the negative piece and layer on top of the colored piece
• Layer on top of coordinating Serenade paper (green)

Close up of the peek-a-boo coloring. Since I used a double stitched circle die, the negative has the same wonderful stitching as a frame for the colored areas.

I hope you enjoy this project and the rest of the Joy Clair and Quick Quotes Promotion and Giveaway!  You can find more on the Joy Clair blog, today's projects are from Lindsay & Kerry.
