Oh Happy Day - Miss Ink Stamps

Oh Happy Day!  I decided it had been a while since I pulled out this adorable stamp set, Say Cheese.

I started with a gel print I created with the Oopsy Daisy stencil and some acrylic paints.

I added a the Magnolia Frame  and lots of layers using the EIEIO dies.  Finally, the Oh Happy Day cut from a shiny white paper and a few sequins.

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping and I hope you'll come again soon!

 

Miss Ink Stamps - A Mid Mod Rainbow

 

Welcome back!  How about some Mid Mod for your Friday?!  I'm playing with the Artsy Abstract Stencils in February and for today, a rainbow of sorts.

I started with a rainbow of Distress Oxides using the Artsy Abstracts small shapes.  I used Pixie Tape to mask off the stencil shapes I wasn't using.  Then I used the Rainbow Builder stencils and Black Soot Distress Oxide to add the rainbow and then the sun from the Rainbow Sky Stencil Set.

I added some accents with Black Glitz Glitter Gel to both the rainbow and the sun.  And finally some simple butterflies from the Say Cheese stamp set and a few sequins.  A simple sentiment from Sunshine and Rainbows was just right.

Here are some of the pics that inspired me for this one:

Cool, right?  It might not be my favorite art style, but it sure is growing on me.

Thanks so much for stopping!  I hope you enjoyed it!  And stay tuned for lots more Artsy Abstracts!

Miss Ink Stamps - Neon Flock Daisies

Hello!  Welcome back!  Today I'm playing with some Fun Flock which is like foil... but fuzzy!  lol!  I made this panel with my Gel Press with some acrylic paints and the Oopsy Daisy stencil Then when it was dry, I placed the stencil back over the top and applied some Deco Foil Transfer gel through just a portion of it.

I stamped, colored and cut the images from the Say Cheese stamp set while I waited for it to dry.  Then I got out the Rina K Designs Neon Flock in Poppin' Pink and ran it through the Minc to apply it.  I'd say that pink is poppin'!

Then I just added the photo frame and all my images with popup tape.  The sentiment is from Everyday Sentiments... one of the best all around sentiment sets.

Thanks so much for stopping!  I hope you enjoyed it and you'll come again soon!

Miss Ink Stamps Release Day - Scene Builder Meadow!

Yay!  Today is the day!  You can find all of the new stamp sets in the shop!

I'm celebrating today using the new Scene Builder Meadow set along with the bunnies, sentiment, chicks and flowers from Springtime Bunnies and the sweet little butterflies from Say Cheese!

The very cool thing about this set is there are a lot of separate pieces to the scene and it's so easy to use on so many different projects!  I used it as it lays on the sheet for today in its full slimline design.  I stamped all of my parts onto a panel cut from Copic friendly paper and colored it with my Copic markers.  Then I colored all of my little add on critters and flowers and attached them with varying thicknesses of foam tape.

So much fun right??  I'll be sharing lots of cards in the coming weeks with various pieces parts from this set.

If you want them, you can find all of the new sets in the shop here!

Thanks so much for stopping!  I hope you enjoyed the last few days as much as I have!  Come again soon!

How Do You Make A Mouse Smile? - Miss Ink Stamps

Hello!  Welcome back!  I have been having so much fun this month playing with the Say Cheese stamp set and painting with glitter!  I think I saved the best for last.. well, at least my favorite!

With a sentiment like this, you just NEED to have a photo with friends!  I used all of the critters from Say Cheese along with the present, balloons and birthday hats from Punny Farm Pigs!

I painted the balloons with chunky glitter mixed in Glossy Accents in each color of the balloons!

And you may be able to tell that right now I'm quite partial to the Halftone Diamond stencil!  It is SO much fun and I love the white space it leaves along with all of that color!

We've got some cool stuff coming up from Miss Ink starting next week so be sure to check back!  SO excited!

Thanks for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

Don't Worry Be Hoppy - Miss Ink Stamps

Welcome back!  I've got some more Miss Ink cuteness for you today and I'm painting with glitter again!  Check out that pond!

This technique was perfect for the water in the pond... I love the way it shines like water would!  I used the Scene Builder stencil to create most of the background.  I used a curvy edge from my stash for the grass with some Lucky Clover and Twisted Citron.  Then I added the clouds using Tumbled Glass.  Next I used a heat gun to dry the ink before I added my sun so that the yellow and blue wouldn't blend to green.  Then I masked off the grass and blended on my sun with Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade.  Then blended the pond onto some scrap cardstock using Mermaid Lagoon and Broken China and cut it out.  I stenciled some grass tufts directly onto the grass area and also onto some scrap and cut that out.  I popped up the pond over the grass and then placed the extra grassy tufts around the pond.

Once the pond was attached,  I took a paint tray and squirted in a little Glossy Accents and added some glitter.. stirred it up and painted the water with it.  then I added the extra grass pieces around it.

I then started adding all of my Copic colored images with varying thicknesses of foam tape.  I just love these adorable critters from the Say Cheese set... the cutie pie costumed mice and their little cohorts make me smile every time!

And the little coneflowers from the Springtime Bunny set made the perfect accents around the pond and I saved a couple to place with the punny sentiment.

Do I even need to mention my favorite Trinity sequins??

And that's me... don't you just love how that glitter makes that water glimmer??  Loving this technique of painting with glitter!

I'm playing along over at Double Trouble's current challenge which is a Tic Tac Toe Challenge:

I'm playing right down the middle top to bottom!  And since I've got sequins on my project, I meet the twist of "Bling".  Also, DT is partnering with Cupcake Inspirations this week whose challenge is Flowers w/Pearls or Sequins!

  You should check these two out for sure and play along for chances to win a prize!

Painting With Glitter - Miss Ink Stamps

Welcome back!  It's a new month and I've got a new technique I'm playing with this month.  Heidi from Miss Ink mentioned Painting With Glitter and she dared me so here we are!

I'll be using the adorable Say Cheese stamp set I think for my projects this month along with a few other things!  I just love the adorable little dressed up mice and companion critters in this set!!  Aren't they adorable??  I stamped, cut out, and colored my images and added some of the pretty daisies from the Springtime Bunnies set.

I started my background by ink blending some Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxides through the Sunburst Stencil.  Then I added some orange and yellow chunky glitter from my stash into a little watercolor tray and added some Glossy Accents and stirred.  Then I took a paintbrush and painted the glitter onto the sunrays.. the Glossy Accents gave the entire stenciled area a beautiful sheen, but the glitter pieces were spread out and flat. I left the center of the sun glitterless so that my little critters wouldn't get lost in all of the sparkle..

As soon as I was done, I rinsed out the tray and my brush and then used some Dazzle Dust in pink to paint the little mouse's skirt and the flowers.  It's a fun and easy way to add just a little glitter without it getting too messy and bumpy and since it's thin, it dries quickly!  I added the photo frame from Trinity and then used foam tape to add all of my images in and outside of the frame! 

Finally, I added some Watercolor Butterflies and Trinity sequins!

That was fun!  I've already got ideas for the next one and can't wait to try it out!  Thanks for stopping and come again soon!
