Once dry I added a cloud stencil from MFT and used the darker colors Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves right along the edge so the background colors still peek through. Then I copic colored and die cut my images; heat embossed my airplane trails and die cut the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment using the same seedless preserves oxide ink. I love how this turned out! </p><p>Stamps:</p><p>Mama Elephant Little Agenda Airplanes</p><p>Mama Elephant Swinging Boarders</p><p>Mama Elephant Easy Sentiments</p><p><br /></p><p>Distress Oxide Ink:</p><p>Saltwater Taffy</p><p>Worn Lipstick</p><p>Picked Raspberry </p><p>Seedless Preserves </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for stopping by!</p><p><br /></p>Sharna W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10648887407689345785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-100046228244669389.post-27138197568215793962022-12-15T06:00:00.031-06:002023-01-07T19:06:09.281-06:00Yeti Or Not - GCOC<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgFqEp2JGlQR7c5ICi85TZB1N9y23Fc1G_zM8Rzjn-8vaajPXAtHy-vQ2qze_E7ymVXcwFbRajA0IOQ3yDN6F5SjuVItBpgQcI_S1MvKsSbbA7BvCvWltcj6gd9lBL7-3fq_k8vVXYksWGX7ZgL13FqvmbEdwDlH7kbaPLn7lCzQa92Tok02BWtlOnF=s800" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgFqEp2JGlQR7c5ICi85TZB1N9y23Fc1G_zM8Rzjn-8vaajPXAtHy-vQ2qze_E7ymVXcwFbRajA0IOQ3yDN6F5SjuVItBpgQcI_S1MvKsSbbA7BvCvWltcj6gd9lBL7-3fq_k8vVXYksWGX7ZgL13FqvmbEdwDlH7kbaPLn7lCzQa92Tok02BWtlOnF=w800-h400" width="800" /></a><p></p><p></p><br /><div>***Update: Winner is Meghan!***<br /><br /><br />Hello Crafty Friends!

I went a little non traditional with the Pinks for Santa. I also went about my layout a bit differently as well. I think we often feel like we have to use a whole image but today I decided to cut mine in half and have him coming in from the bottom. I feel like this really draws your eye up to the sentiment. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-eCyoFUOfm0dapggHYC4oKVytuwxB8wbFc11hLnX32tjLPT3oquHJqEqks9dIqG7TPYyjapUAhKKVCmvpxvWFQyxAyx0gPww7wypoPsPYWMIZtV_Jj5I6LqiRknBfkZ3aSGmM8XPNT8ZfVGCrRa4S2lvB3nUkv8xVKZpXAw7j4fGnmsv4sXMDONl/s1080/F2EDAE6D-C7B3-4D4C-BECF-77B1ABD9C342.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-eCyoFUOfm0dapggHYC4oKVytuwxB8wbFc11hLnX32tjLPT3oquHJqEqks9dIqG7TPYyjapUAhKKVCmvpxvWFQyxAyx0gPww7wypoPsPYWMIZtV_Jj5I6LqiRknBfkZ3aSGmM8XPNT8ZfVGCrRa4S2lvB3nUkv8xVKZpXAw7j4fGnmsv4sXMDONl/s16000/F2EDAE6D-C7B3-4D4C-BECF-77B1ABD9C342.png" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>The sentiment is die cut from plain white cardstock but I added Stickles in diamond to give it some extra sparkle.

I promise the C in Christmas is red in real life but my window light just wanted to show all the glitter so it’s kind of blown out! Next I die cut the sentiment from another piece of Neenah to layer on top. Don’t forget the inside piece! Lastly I splattered with black ink and made a mess 😂. </div><div><br /></div><div>And that’s it! It’s a very simple card that will be easy to make more of in the coming weeks because we are getting down to the wire here folks!! Holiday cardmaking is in full swing!

Then I used black soot distress oxide very sparingly around the edges on top. This nicely draws the eye into the middle where our focal point will be.

I did fix the blue stripes on his shirt by adding one more darker color after I shot the video B06.

I am here today with a fun little card featuring a <a href="https://mamaelephant.com/" target="_blank">Mama Elephant </a>stamp set <a href="https://mamaelephant.com/products/flower-shower?_pos=1&_sid=64071edd5&_ss=r" target="_blank">Flower Shower</a> &<a href="https://mamaelephant.com/products/little-cat-agenda?_pos=2&_sid=1646296c6&_ss=r" target="_blank"> Lil Cat agenda</a>. Inspired by all the rain we have been getting here I just couldn't resist.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkABeZWrvuDg2pTUEig4B428PSvycJOGXF-GoN0tsXQFbbf0rAHNstOS-LxkPl7pg3bm-ZMrU9-YE49saZSklGqeRh1DU54jPADGXVHFGzdSRfY2VLTn8wDxi1mL3wh05j4lZebR_0S_SAOsF6guRXbB47CIgb6w_yrKgqkqiM8a79xv6FevahZ8Ge/s2463/F0F9ECE8-522F-4343-853B-42B72E49BC9A.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2463" data-original-width="2463" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkABeZWrvuDg2pTUEig4B428PSvycJOGXF-GoN0tsXQFbbf0rAHNstOS-LxkPl7pg3bm-ZMrU9-YE49saZSklGqeRh1DU54jPADGXVHFGzdSRfY2VLTn8wDxi1mL3wh05j4lZebR_0S_SAOsF6guRXbB47CIgb6w_yrKgqkqiM8a79xv6FevahZ8Ge/s16000/F0F9ECE8-522F-4343-853B-42B72E49BC9A.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>On some Bristol cardstock I first used some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink coming down from the corner. Then I placed my cloud stencil and using Peacock Feathers Oxide I filled in the rest. Once dry I stamped on my sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink because I find it stamps the best over the oxide. I got out my white Gel Pen and added some tiny raindrops to set the mood.</p><p>I copic colored the tiny cats (there is a reel over on my Instagram, CardsbySharna, if you want to see the coloring!) I used YR 24, 21, & 30 for the cat bodies & added E99 for the stripes with a bit of R20 for the cheeks. For the flower I used B02, 00. For the stem of the flower and the puddle I used BG13, 11, 10.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for stopping by!</p>Sharna W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10648887407689345785noreply@blogger.com0
