Deco Foiled Leafy Green Background

Hello!  I have a fun one for you today using some of the Alice Collection from Miss Ink Stamps!

I started with an alcohol ink background that I added some Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo using the Leafy Green Stencil, let dry for a day and then added some Deco Foil to it by covering it with a used sheet and applying pressure with the Stencil Pal.  I'll add a quick video below!

Finally I die cut a circle scalloped frame from Paper Smooches and arranged my stamped, colored and fussy cut images from the Smokin' Caterpillar stamp set around inside and outside of it.  I stamped a sentiment from the Wonderland wisdom set onto a diecut strip and added the smoke rings and a few sequins around it.

Totally feeling that sentiment... It would be nice, wouldn't it?

I used lots of markers for this one!

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

Coffee and Stars - Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #7

 

Welcome back!  It's the 1st of the month and time for a new challenge over at Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  Our Sponsor this month is Twiddler's Nook!  And the challenge is Coffee and Stars! Here's how I was inspired:

I'm using those beautiful Luscious Lime Confetti Stars in a shaker using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Mug Frame.

I started with a Gel print I foiled using a Deco Foil sheet I had previously used to create a striped background with the Miss Ink Stamps Fine Line Stencil.  I love how the foil transferred to the acrylic paint panel with a sparkly distressed look.  I also ran the foiled panel through my die cut machine with the very cool Starry Skies Coverplate Die from Trinity Stamps to create some stitched stars on the background.  (It's only $5 right now!!)

I die cut the mug frame from gold cardstock, adhered some acetate to the back trimmed down to fit the mug shape.  Then I added pop-up foam to the frame, added the star confetti from TN and a few star die cuts to the panel after adhering the spoon and popped the acetate frame over the top.

I also used a foiled poinsettia from a previous project and cut the spoon (from the Lawn Fawn Mug Frame) and gold stars (from an old Paper Smooches set) from another piece of foiled cardstock.

Finally, I added a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Happy, Happy, Happy Stamps and Dies.

That's me for today!  Be sure to head on over to the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog to see what everyone else has created for today!

Slim's Whim's - I like your Dog

Hello!  I've got some Slim for you today!  I realized it had been a while so it was time to pull him out and color him up!

I created some backgrounds with the Big Paws Stencil on my Gel Press and decided to use this one.  I added a very light foil over the top using a foil sheet I'd already run through 3 or four times.

And that sassy sentiment?  No worries!  My friends get me!

Thanks so much for stopping!  Hope you'll come again soon!
