Love, under the sea

Hello there! Michelle here

With Valentine's Day approaching, love is in the air....and the sea!

I combined a few stamp sets and some masking to create this no line coloring card.

I love this cutie from Mermaid Hair and used her as my focus.

I used the big heart from Sassy Sentiments- Anti Valentine.

After my coloring was complete, I used stars and part of a sentiment from

Love You More- Christmas Frost. The 'love' sentiment is from Put a Bow on It.

I began with a mask for both the mermaid and heart...

A. Mask the place where you want to stamp your mermaid, than stamp your heart.

B. Remove the mask and cut along the heart outline on the mermaid body...this is

your second mask.

C. Place the second mask in it's original position and D. Stamp your mermaid.

Using a Misti makes this a lot easier.

E. Remove the last mask and stamp the heart again. My placement was not

so perfect, but using antique linen distress ink for no line coloring allows

you to color over your mistakes!!

F. Start coloring...and have fun!!!

Here is a list of Copic colors:

fin, bubbles and bikini: BG11, BG13, BG18

body: E000, E00, E11, E93

hair: V000, V01, V12, V17, V17

heart: R24, R27, R29, R39

water: B32, B93, B24, B37

sand: E11, E13, E17

colorless blender for rays.

I stamped the stars with white ink and 'love' with festive berries distress oxide ink.

I added some white accents with a gel pen and shimmer with

stickles glitter glue.

That's it for today!

Thanks for taking a trip down the rabbit hole!!!

Hello there!

Michelle here!

Hello there TRHD fans!!!

I can't say how much I love the stamp set Put a Bow on It!!!

Any way you design it, it's just fabulous!!!!

Today I embossed it on black cardstock and added color with Polychrome

Pencils. I first laid down white shading than colored over it with a teal shade.

The color just pops on black cradstock!!! I die cut the stamp with it's coordinating

die and propped it up with foam adhesive onto kraft cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment using part of the sentiment stamp from

Pretty in Peony I embellished with a few teal sequin.

Lastly, I added some blue stickles glitter glue.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Hello crafty Rabbit Hole fans!

It's Lisa here with you today on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog and I have

2 cards for you using the Put a Bow on It stamp set that was recently released.

This stamp set is so elegant and can be used in so many different ways!

For the recent release I colored it up, cut it out and used it as a focal point

on the front of a gate fold card with a shutter mechanism on the inside.

You can see it in action here

⬇︎

On today's cards I decided to stamp directly on to my card and

heat emboss the images in gold.

For the first card I stamped the bow image and "Love" sentiment multiple times

randomly all over a white card stock panel cut to 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" with

embossing ink. Next I sprinkled gold embossing powder all over

the stamped images and hit them with my heat gun.

I love watching the transformation of gold powder when it melts,

it's truly magical and I never get tired of seeing it.

The next step was to die cut a large scalloped rectangle from gold glitter paper.

I adhered the scalloped rectangle to the embossed panel and since it

was slightly smaller, it allowed some of the images to peek out around

the edges. I love that look.

For the second card I repeated the steps of stamping the bow randomly over

the white card stock and heat embossing with gold but this time

I decided to a bit of watercoloring inside of the bows with some pretty pinks.

Once the bows were colored I stamped the sentiment "Hope"

from the Put a Bow on It stamp set in pink ink.

I once again used a large scalloped rectangle die but this time from pink glitter paper.

I backed the rectangle with acetate so I could create a shaker card this time.

I included some pink sequins from The Rabbit Hole Designs Fearless Bundle

as well as a mix of other sequins from my stash.

I'm loving how these two cards came out and I love how versatile

the Put a Bow on It stamp set is.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Have a great day, I already am!

Stepping It Up With Colored Pencils

Hey crafty friends, it's Amanda from Pear Blossom Press again. Have you played with the new Put a Bow on It stamp set from The Rabbit Hole Designs yet? It is so pretty and offers a ton of coloring possibilities. After seeing Kathy Racoosin's take on it, I almost didn't want to post my first card with it.

This time around, I had an ace up my sleeve though. I stamped, embossed, and Copic colored my image. I fussy cut it with my ScanNCut and popped it up on a square kraft card base with foam tape (a coordinating die is available). A few scattered gems dressed the card up and it was basically finished. Then, I got on a plane to Florida and took it to Kathy's Coloring Challenge Road Trip class for some advice on how to step it up!

This first picture shows my image before I went to class...

I showed it to Kathy and she used a dark blue colored pencil to deepen the shadows on the blue bow in the center. She used more pressure near the black outlines and then soft squiggles and circles to blend the color out. You can see how much more dimension it has than the others.

Then it was my turn. I got to work on the other bows, adding some shading to the outside edges of the loops, as well as the centers and overlapping areas. I seem to have a heavier hand when it comes to blending so I lost some of the lightest highlight areas, or sweet spots, as Kathy calls them. I will continue to practice, but the additional shading makes a huge difference!

Kathy shares some fantastic tips and techniques in her classes. I took my first one with her in September. I still have lots of practice to do, but the second class was a great refresher and reminded me of tips I forgot about after the first one. Luckily, she will be sharing her coloring classes online soon! Keep an eye out for Kathy's Coloring Challenge Road Trip on Online Card Classes!

Overall, I'm much happier with the updated card. Now I will tell you, she recommends not embossing images because the raised edges keep you from getting your pencil tip all the way to the lines. The more I practiced on this image, the more I understood what she meant. So I'll be forgoing the embossing for a while to compare. Let me know what you think. Can you see the difference between the before and after?

Thanks for stopping by today; I'll be back soon with another fun card. You can find more inspiration and ideas and links to the specific products I used on my blog.

Thinking of You

Hello there!!!

Michelle here, stopping by with a card I created for a friend going

through a difficult time. She's a 'bow' girl so I know this card will

have her smiling.

I embossed the stamp, Put a Bow on It, than colored it with a combination of

Copic Markers and Prismacolor Pencils. I die cut the bow cluster with the coordinating die.

I inked up the card base with cracked pistachio distress oxide ink.

I splattered some white paint onto the background and

bow cluster.

The sentiment is from the stamp set Pretty in Peony I also embossed it

with gold embossing powder.

I love the way it sparkles!

Here are the supplies I used:

Put a Bow on it...for Christmas!

Pretty sure I used almost every G and YG marker that Copic has to offer, and if they had more, I'd likely have used those too! But it was so fun to create this gradient of green bows!!!

Bow Love

Hello again! It's Amanda W. taking over the blog today with this fun, clean and simple Valentine card.

I was inspired by another crafter who did two versions of the same card a while ago - one was in full color and the other was simple and just the outline. This is something that I never do and was excited to try.

I heat embossed my bows in black and painted one that stood out to me with gold watercolor. I took the same watercolor and flicked it on a red panel. Then heat embossed love in black on the bottom right corner. I popped the red panel on a black card base and popped the bows up with foam squares.

The shine of the embossing and the shimmer of the metallic watercolor make this clean and simple card just a little bit more. It catches your eye and is just striking. I love this color combo!

The products I used today are:
