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!

I Love You, I Love You, I Love You.....

Welcome back my friends! I'm here today to share another Project I made using CasettaSullalbero Sweet Little Red Riding Hood Digital Image. Isn't she adorable? I had so much fun making this card and coloring her!

First, I started making a background using Stampin' Up Heart Stencil. I used a very light hand using Rangers Distress Oxide to achieve the color I prefer for my background. I made sure I have the right amount of color and dry it using my heat tool. Then, for my sentiment I used I Love You from Simon Says Stamp Love Messages and stamped it with Scrapbook.com Black Hybrid Ink.

Next, I printed my image and started coloring it using Arteza EverBlend Markers. I also added some tiny dots using White Sakura Gel Pen for added dimension. After coloring, I decided to add Versamark Ink and Ranger Ultra Thick Clear Embossing Powder. I thought it would be a disaster but it was a success as if you used Glossy Accent. It turns out really gorgeous! I let it dry for a little bit then added some foam tape at the back of my cute image.

Then, I punch out a heart shape from Recollections Glitter Paper using Fiskars Large Heart Shape.

After that, I attached my image next to the sentiment and the Heart shape above it. Then, using my Arteza Black Gel Pen, I drew a line from the hand of the adorable girl to the heart shaped balloon.

To finish it off, I attached it to a Recollections Red Cardstock card base and added a few sequins. That's it! What do you think of my card? Isn't she beautiful?

Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you again next time!

XOXO
