Adventure

Posted on June 30, 2016 | 1 comment

This month’s challenge at Ken Oliver Crafts is Vacation. I went with a road trip theme for my project.

My card uses Color Burst (Sepia & Alizarin Crimson), Ken Oliver Crafts Clear stamps Covered Bridges and my Mini MISTI .

After my color burst was completely dry I used my Mini MISTI to stamp the car. This is on textured watercolor paper and it took a few stampings to get a nice image (thank you Mini MISTI!).

Next I added the sentiment. I finished my card off by rounding the corners and adding a button.

Lydia Made Me Do It!

Posted on June 24, 2016 | 4 comments

Lydia threw out a fun Mix-Ability Challenge (MIX 178) this week on Splitcoaststampers this week. The challenge was to take some stamps and mix them together to make a new creature. Come and play along with us. You can see the challenge HERE.

Here is what I came up with (with a little help from my Mini MISTI). I combined the Crazy Cats and Bird Crazy to make my cat/bird.

I got my bird stamp in position on the Mini MISTI and inked the portion I needed.

Then I added the cat head. No masking! Super easy to do using the Mini MISTI because you can see where everything is going. I filled in the remaining neck area with a fine black pen.
