Classy Cards Striped Sofia

Hi, I'm here today with a card inspired by Classy Cards 'n Such's Colors and Patterns challenge.   When I saw the inspiration photo it reminded me of this adorable Stampavie Sofia Wishes stamp.

I stamped Sofia once on white card stock and then a second time onto a piece of green patterned paper from the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea paper pack.  This has become one of my go-to paper pads, I love the slightly muted colors and print patterns.

I colored her with alcohol ink markers and then cut out her dress and glued it over her body.  I was planning on paper piecing her apron too but the bow was tricky to cut so I ended up coloring in the apron with a yellow-orange marker.

I cut Sofia out with a Spellbinders Elegant Oval die and popped the oval up with Joy Crafts Foam Adhesive.  The green striped paper is also from the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea paper. To add a little interest I wrapped the card with twine from my stash and added adhesive Mother of Pearl Rhinestones.

Thanks for visiting and make sure you join in this week's challenge for a chance to win a great prize!

Classy Cards Best in You

I created this card for our latest challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such.  I was so inspired by the wonderful Cozy Plaids Challenge photo.  I began by looking through my stash of design papers.  I love these papers by Bo Bunny and Graphic 45, I can always find something for every occasion.

                                        

        

  

After choosing coordinating paper I still needed a focal point.  I found this adorable Stampavie Sarah Kay Sofia Wishes stamp that I hadn't inked yet and I thought her "Holly Hobby" look was perfect for a warm/plaids challenge.  

I stamped her using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her with Copics in reds, oranges and yellows to compliment the design papers.  I cut the image using the largest Spellbinders Labels Eighteen Die and then used the die as a stencil to sponge yellow distress ink around the image to soften the central panel.

I found nautical Cheery Lynn Wheeler Doily Die left over from another project.  It's out of stock at the Classy Cards store but there are some other lovely Cheery Lynn doily dies in stock.  Right now all Cheery Lynn dies are 50% off with coupon code Cheery50.

I sponged distress ink around the edge of the yellow doily to add a touch of red.  The sentiment is from JustRite's Floral Vintage Labels Two Stamp Set.  It was stamped in black ink and then cut out using a Spellbinders Classic Circles Small Die.  I also used the die as a stencil and sponged more yellow ink around the perimeter of the circle.  Softening up the edges and using Spellbinders dies as stencils might just be my favorite crafting technique.  :)  

This is such as fun challenge and hope you can join us this week.  I can't wait to see your plaid inspired creations!

Classy Cards Pretty Pia

Hello!  I love these sweet Sarah Key stamps from Stampavie.  This Pia Stamp reminds me of the Holly Hobby doll I had when I was little.  I'm so sad that Stampavie has closed it's doors but a few of these adorable stamps are still available at the Classy Cards store!  

I don't use a lot of yellows or oranges on my cards so I thought I'd try something different. The mats were created using Spellbinders Radient Rectangles and Elegant Rectangles.  I don't think I've ever mixed them on a card before but I liked the result.  

The card base was a light blue that was colored darker with distress ink. The panel behind the main image was cut from Kraft Paper.  The main image was colored with Copics.  

It's difficult to see in the photo but the bow in her hair has a Mother of Pearl Rhinestone center and was painted with a Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. 

Thanks for visiting!

Hello, This is my inspiration card for Classy Cards 'n Such's latest One, Two, Three Challenge.  I used ONE stamp, TWO designer papers and THREE rhinestones.

I began by coloring this Sarah Kay image with Copics.  Isn't she sweet?  Stampavie isn't making stamps anymore but I was so lucky to pick up a couple of these Sarah Kay stamps at the Classy Cards store.   I used the Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles die to cut out the main image and then used it as a stencil to color around the image with distress ink.  I used Joy! Foam Pad's to pop her up for added dimension.

Next I cut the rose paper from Bo Bunny's Prairie Chic paper using a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles die and layered it behind the main image. The striped paper is also from the Praire Chic paper pad and is popped higher off the blue card stock with foam pads.  The blue card stock used on the bow and background paper was colored with a Copic B12 marker to match the blue of her dress.

I cut the Impression Obsession Large Bow and popped it up with Joy! Foam pads. The rose was cut out of white cardstock, colored with distress ink and then rolled using a quilling tool from the McGill Paper Blossom Tool Kit.  I adhered the rose on top of the bow with another foam pad.

Last, I added the three little rhinestones and colored in her apron using the Wink of Stella pen.  Her apron shines.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join us in the 1,2, 3 challenge for a chance to win a great prize!
