Winnie & Walter June Color Combo Challenge - Card 1

So, I'm clicking around IG and I see that Winnie & Walter has a new release coming this week.  I go to their blog to see what is coming up, and for the first time I see.....They have a challenge Blog!  With Multiple Challenges.  So exciting for me.  I happen to LOVE W &W, but I have a slight problem.  My wishlist includes almost everything they make. Definately EVERY cutaway.  I love their BIG words.  So, I need to have some $$ help with my Winnie & Walter craft addiction.  What better way than to join a challenge...Do my best and hope for the best.

My first card is for the June Color Combo Challenge. 



This card is for my son Aidan who LOVES this stamp. Its the "Do You See What I See" Mini Scenery stamp.  Loves it.  Every time I use it he tells me how I can use it better.  So cute. And frustrating. 

In order to follow the rules, I got out the same 4 Distress Inks that Heather used:
Mowed Grass, Mustard Seed, Salty Ocean, and Worn Lipstick.  I rubbed them on an acrylic block and spritzed with water and let sit while I cut a piece of 140 lb watercolor paper down. I stamped the Do You See What I See stamp with Versamark and embossed with Hero Arts Black Sparkly Embossing Powder.  I wanted strong lines.

I watercolored with the Distress inks.  As the panel dried I took the Worn lipstick and blended it on some 110 pound cardstock.  I took the die from Concord & 9th (believe me, if I had my way it would have been a W&W big die cutaway) and cut the word 3 times.  I glued them together with Ranger Medium Matte glue.  I glued the sentiment onto my main panel and mounted on a piece of salty ocean watercolored paper.  I mounted on a top folding card base.  

That's my first card for the day!  I'll be back in a minute with another one...

Hi there! If all of a sudden this post just stops mid sentence it is because my computer died.  Its almost there man!  Any day now... I am here today with this card I made last night... Here is is from another angle... I am really loving this card. At first, I was making it for the  Simon Say Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog .  Which I still am.  But as I am painting this card, I realized that the inspiration behind this card is actually from the  CAS-ual Fridays CAS01 May Challenge .  Actually their first encouragement  challenge.  This card is what I see in the picture from that challenge. I started this card with a piece of 140 lb watercolor paper.  I stamped the sentiment from Concord & 9th in Versamark and embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing powder.  I heat set and stamped the flowers in each corner the same way.    I took out my new watercolors (eek, still exciting!) and started add...

Lawn Fawnatics and A Blog Named Hero Challenges

Image
Hey everyone.  Well, I am very lucky as my October Monthly Hero Arts kit came just in time!  I wanted to use the dies on a tag I was making for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge.  I kept it un-assembled until I received my package yesterday.   This tag is being entered into the  Lawnfawnatics Challenge 14 : Happy Critters  and the  A Blog Named Hero - Calling all Critters .  The Blog Named Hero Challenge is using both Hero Arts and Lawn Fawn products.  I expect to enter more as the October kit and Lawn Fawn play very nicely together! I used Toboggan together set and colored it with Spectrum Noir pens.  I made the background out of the mountain range die from the October HA kit.  I used Bristol Smooth paper and first inked it with DO Iced Spruce and Salty Ocean.  I cut it then used the mountain range stamp with white pigment HA ink to stamp some detail.  I also inked the edges of the range with the ink.  I...

Casology Week 247: Flow

Image
Hey there, Stefanie here...back for some more challenge cards.  I was lucky enough to craft all day and I have a ton of cards to share.  I think I will just do a few more today, then update the blog more tomorrow.   I am trying to grow as a card designer and my favorite challenge that pulls me OUT of my comfort zone is the CASology challenge.    Here is my entry for the CASology Week 247 Challenge - keyword is Flow.   This may be one of the favorite cards I have made this weekend.  Here are the details: I started using the ink cubes I got with my Hero Arts May kit, Deep Blue and Aqua.  I blended them onto a piece of 110 lb white paper.  I seriously love this ink.  I am really excited to actually stamp with it, but today I just blended it.  I saw a video from Jennifer McGuire a few days ago in which she said that Hero Arts inks have a special quality.  You can put Versamark on them and ...
