Clear & Sheer Day 1

Starting a day late but I have signed up for the Clear & Sheer class at Online Card Classes. Today's class was all about ways to attach vellum because you and I know there is no vellum adhesive out there that don't show behind vellum.

To make my card I started with a piece of Watermelon Wonder cardstock and ran it through the striped embossing folder to give it some dimension behind my vellum piece. I stamped the large floral image from the Birthday Blooms set and colored it with Copic markers. I used a piece of printed vellum and stamped my greeting in Versamark ink and then heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I attached my vellum panel with foam dots hidden underneath my image and with a piece of gold wash tape across the top.

I am entering this one in the Tic Tac Toe challenge at 

CAS on Sundays

Happy Stamping!

Finishing Touches

Still running behind on my posting for OCC.  Today we learned to use "finishing touches" there are several different ways, but I chose to transform my image by adding my own "lines" to the image. I used the Blossoming Buds set from Paper Smooches and it you look at it, my flowers look nothing like the flowers in the image because I added my own lines/doodles to them and transformed the image. Because I doodled in my flowers I felt like a doodled border around it was fitting.

I am entering this one in a few anything goes challenges

It's A Good Day To be Happy

I am playing catch up with the Hope You Can Cling To challenges at Splitcoast stampers.  I made this one for the challenge of "Hope Floats"  to use something that floats on your card with an encouraging greeting. This set from Mama Elephant was perfect. 

I also used some techniques I learned in my OCC colic class of backgrounds. I actually used Copic markers to make my cloud background instead of sponging. For the patterns on my balloons I used a white Signo pen
