Special Delivery

Today’s card features Lawn Fawn’s Special Delivery Stamp set and Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-on. I used the Large Slimline set but extended it so the length of the owl and box of bird plus the bird house would look portional. The bird house needed to be anchored and not floating in the school so I took the liberty and added grass and mushrooms.

The birdhouse itself is embossed with Hero Arts Gratitude Background. The focus the owl so the birdhouse did not need to be a distraction, yet the added background gave the birdhouse texture.

The card is for a really special person who just had their first child. We are sending this person lots of love. The hearts are from Simon Says Stamp Heart Breeze die cut. Using Wink of Stella, to add sparkle to each of the hearts. In addition, to add shine I used Glossy Accents on each of the hearts.

Trick or Treat

I wanted to spread some Halloween cheer with this cute little stamp set from Reverse Confetti called Too Cute to Spook. Each month Reverse Confetti has a monthly challenge called Stock your Stash. September’s challenge theme is ‘Halloween/Fall Fun’.

I colored this card with my Copic Markers. Wanting to give my card a sparkling look, I used Wink of Stella clear color to color certain areas. In addition, I love giving my cards texture look so I usually highlighted certain areas with glossy accents.

In my previous post, I talked about how Copic Makers are an alcohol based ink marker. The colors are vibrant and blend easily. Why spend the money on expensive marker, you might ask? There are three different styles of Copic Markers: Classic, Sketch and Ciao. I like Sketch markers the best because it fits my hand better. With Copic Markers you can refill them and maintain your collection by keeping them clean. In addition, you can replace the tips (nibs) of the marker once they have been wore out. My Copic Marker Sketch have dual ends. At one end I have a brush nib and the other end is a chisel nib. Thaneeya Mc Ardle has a website that explains in great detail about Copic Markers.
