A Beautiful Hello - AlexSyberiaDesigns- Clever Dexter Challenge

Hello, my friends! I'm here again for another project inspiration for the Clever Dexter Challenge! I can't believe there are only a few more days and this month's challenge will be over. Did you enter your project yet?

For today's project, I got the chance to play with the Hello Gorgeous Digital Stamp of AlexSyberiaDesign. This stamp is so gorgeous and the name itself justified it. As you all know, I always love to use my Arteza Ever Blend Markers on most of my projects, and as you can see I used them again. Did I tell you how much I love these markers?

First, I started working on my background using Tim Holtz Distress Oxides Seedless Preserves and Chipped Sapphire. I first applied Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Seedless Preserves and blend them all over the page using a blending brush. After that, I applied Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Chipped Sapphire blending with the first color. I made sure to blend them together to have a smooth finish.

As soon as I am done with my background, I printed the image to a 110lb White cardstock from Carstockwarehouse. After that, I started coloring the hair first using a combination of the Purple Family of Arteza Ever Blend Markers. Then, moved to the face, skin, lips, and glasses. To adds some sparkle to the lips, I added some Arteza Gel Pen and for the glasses, I used Versamark Ink and added Clear Embossing Powder.

Let's start assembling the card...

First, I cut 4.25x5.5 inches 110lb White cardstock from Cardstockwarehouse. Using Scrapbook.com Smart Craft liquid glue, I adhered my image to the background then to my card panel. Next, using the Hello sentiment from the Neat and Tangled Stamp Set, I stamped it to white cardstock using Scrapbook.com Black Hybrid Inkpad and for some dimension, I added it to black cardstock. Added some Double Sided Tape to the back of the sentiment and adhered to the card front. Finally, using Beautiful sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers, I directly stamped it to the card panel. And we're done!

I hope you were inspired by my project and give it a try. Don't forget to enter your project to Clever Dexter Challenge here .

Hope Your Day is GREAT! - Joy Clair Designs

Hi and welcome back! Marj here sharing with you all my new beautiful card using the Pamper Yourself and Forever Moments Digital Stamps from Joy Clair Designs. These stamp sets feature different images but I made sure to combine them as they are meant for each other. The image reflects well on the sentiment.

I am in love with Pamper Yourself Digital Stamps that comes with 1 beautiful image, the camera with a floral design on the side along, and has 4 sentiments that absolutely go well with the image.

Let's start to make the card...

First, I made my background using the Hybrid Inkpad of Scrapbook.com - Butter Cream, Orange Cream, Orange Spice, and Autumn Leaves. I apply them by using an ink blending tool with a domed foam applicator. But you can use any ink blending tool you have to achieve a smooth transition from one color to another.

I first apply the Butter Cream with a light hand to avoid some marks with the ink blending tool. But honestly, I don't have any issues at all when using this blending tool. Next, I applied the Orange Cream followed by Orange Spice, and then Autumn Leaves. As you can see, it was a very smooth transition and no streaks of any kind.

As soon as it is fully dry, I added some black paint splatter for some added dimension.

Then, I printed the image on a white piece of cardstock and colored it using my all-time favorite markers, Ever Blend by Arteza and then fussy cut it. Once done, I used my heat tool to dry it and then applied the Versamark Ink and some Ranger White Perfect Pearls for some bling.

After that, I printed and cut my sentiment using my Cricut Explore and then added some foam tape.

Let's put the card together...

Using a 4.25 x 5.5 inch card panel, I added some Smart Glue at the back of my background then adhered to my card panel. For additional dimension and pop-up color, I used my Bronze Metallic Sharpie and added it on all sides of my panel. After that, I added my image along with the sentiment on the front card. And we're done!

I Love You - Clever Dexter

Hi friends! Today marks the 17th Challenge of Clever Dexter and I am happy to share with you what I came up with.

Our sponsor for this Month's is AlexSyberiaDesign. Have you seen her creations? They are so amazing and fabulous! Did I tell you how generous she is? She will be giving away a $15 Gift Card on her Etsy Shop for our Lucky winner for this Month's Challenge. So, I would recommend to check the Clever Dexter's Blog on how to enter.

For my project, I decided to use Flirty Flamingo. They are super cute and I enjoyed coloring and designing this card. I enjoyed coloring the flamingos and it took me a little bit but it's definitely worth it.

To start with, I created my background using my personal stencil and used Stephanie Barnard Color Box Cloud Premium Dye Ink. I applied using a blender brush with a soft hand but had to apply a little bit more pressure so the background can be seen.

To color my image I used Arteza Colored Pencils. After that, I decided to fussy cut it and left a little white border on all sides. I then adhered my Digital images using a double sided foam tape to add dimension.

As our theme for this month is Celebration, I decided to come up with an Anniversary Slimline card and the sentiment seems appropriate which is I Love You from Simon Says Stamp. Just to add some more depth, I took a Feather Stencil and used Distress Oxide Pine Needles. I made this as headdress for my female flamingo. Then, I added some adhesive rhinetones and a flower sequins to complete her style. I think she is beautiful.

I added a glitter border to pop up the whole thing. Lastly, I added a few adhesive rhinestones for dimension.

Hope you like my what I made today and you'll stop by Clever Dexter and join us this month!

See you and thank you for stopping by!
