MarkerPop: It's Die-namic - Mini Doily Circles

Hello and I hope you are having a great weekend!  It  is "Anything But A Card Saturday" at our MarkerPOP blog.  .

I want to share a project I created using a new die that I just received from MarkerPOP.  

   My Favorite Things Die-namic - Mini Doily Circles has quickly  jumped to the top  of my favorite list!

They  are small and fit perfectly on cards, 3-D projects or embelish scrapbook pages.

The box was cut from my Cameo  using the template  "Gable Box" from Silhouette.

This is a little glimpse at the wonderful designer paper I used  Called Wimsy Romance from Whimsy Stamps.

The layers are applied.   The box is actually  dark "pink" but it looks red in the pictures.

I backed the designer paper on 120# white card stock to allow the design to "pop"

These are the adorable Die-namic Mini Doily circles.   Aren't they just the cutest!
They are the perfect size for cards and 3-D projects.    They would make wonderful  mats for sentiments.
Tip:   They are very intricate and in order to avoid "weeding" place wax paper between the die and your card stock before cutting.

This is my finished treat box.   

I plan to make 100 of these for easter in yellow, lavender, pink, rose, blue and green.

Thoughts of Another Time

Hello and  happy Thursday!

Flower:  C0, C1, C5
Background: BG0000, C0, Opaque White Ink 

My Thoughts: 

One thing I am trying to do this year is to push my color and techniques a little more.

I want to use techniques that are new to me, try new color combos and try different types of ink.
When I looked at the gorgeous hair - I just knew I needed to have this stamp and see what I could do.

When I look at it, I see swirls and fluid movement.   I Decided to apply the opaque white ink to give the
illusion of movement and I coordinated this with the embossing folder with flourishes.
I hope this pulls the card together to help showcase the movement of the hair!
 

Tip for the Day: 

Do you need a larger die to mat your focal image?  If you have already used your largest die in the nested set and you need to mat your image,
trace around the outside of the die you used for your focal image  and hand cut the frame.
It will be a perfect fit!

MarkerPop: Raining Roses

Hello to all my friends in cyberland!   
It is Wednesday already.   I start my week of work today but pant to commute to Sacramento aftre work each day for the rest of the week.   I have some friends that will be there for a meeing and it will be a great time to catch up!   Nothing is better than spending time with our friends and family.   

 I am eccited to share a  card I created with the adorable clear stamp from Wild Rose  Studio called Raining Roses.

I just love the way the little guy looks at his love!  Now that is LOVE!
I created a  5.5 in x 4.25 in. card for this image but it would work well for a scrapbook page
or a 3-D project.
When I had my Copic Inking Class in Anaheim we  colored on fabric.
This image would lend itself to a little fabric gift bag!  I must try that!

Supplies:

Stamp: Raining Roses (Wild Rose Studio)

Ink:
Copic Alcohol Ink Markers - Sketch  (.too)Copic Opaque Ink (.too)
Copic Wine Multiliner (.too)
Memento London Fog  Ink (Tsukeniko)

Paper:
Cryogen for focal image (Curious Metallic)
White Cardstock 120# for base
Layering: Bazzill cardstock
Designer Paper:  Whimsy Romance (Whimsy Stamps) 

Techniques:

• Copic Alcohol Ink markers
• Texture with Stippling and Copic Alcohol Ink Blender.

Copic Alcohol Ink Markers used:

 

Bear 1: E30, E33, E25, E27, #39, E49, E18, Colorless Blender
Bear 2:  C3, C5, C7, C9, B000, B27, Colorless Blender
Umbrella:  RV00, RV02, RV32,  Copic wine and pink 0.3  multiliner, E39, C3 (handle)
Rose and Rose Leaves in background: R20, R22, R24, R27, R58, G40, G24, YG17, G28
Ground: YG17, G40, G45, G28
Background: B000, B00, RV00, G40, Colorless Blender

I used the hearts punched from the Nestabilities die for embellishment.
Memento London Fog was sponged on the corners of my fabulous Whimsy Romance Design Paper. 

Tip for the Day: Texture  can be added to your image to create interest and hold the viewer's eye.   The sky is the limit on applying texture.  You can texturize fur, grass, clothing, bricks, or wood.  The list goes on and on!   Colorless blender from your marker or applied to fabric with texture will work really well. You can get some great designs!  Denim or lace are a couple examples.    I am a little addicted to it  and always alter my images a little to add  texture.     Give it a try.
