Air #2 February - Radiant Neons Tutorial

This is my second Tutorial as a 2014 Artist in Residence for IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® - I am excited to be sharing some of the fabulous new Radiant Neon Inks with you - it is bright, lush and divine.  I love the way it is so easy to use, applies easily to card and blends beautifully.

The Radiant Neon Inks instantly take me to beautiful summer days - they have that wonderful glow about them - this was certainly my inspiration for this card - they have created a beautiful skyline for these birds.

Precious Baby Boy

Hello Blog Friends, I have had a bit of creative time over the past few days.  After checking with the Shop that sells my cards I thought I should make a few baby cards. 

 

 These are always very popular and my backup supply is down to zero - a skeery thought but I  just keep on creating- I know, a tough job but someone has to do it! LOL!  I cannot go past the Photochips - Hello Baby from Darkroom Door.  How adorable is this bear!

I have also used some retired Designer Paper from Stampin' Up! - polka dots are perfect for baby cards - don't you think?  The sentiments are also from Wordstrips - Hello Baby Boy.

The embossed strip is from Imperial Spellbinders® M-Bossabilities™ folder using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine.  The pearls are from Want2Scrap©, I have also used Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L- 3D Foam Squares and E-Z Runner

 

This card is for the following challenges:

 Animal Friends Challenge - Dots

One Crazy Stamper - Anything Goes

Little Claire's  - Monotone

 Open-Minded Challenges - Monochrome 

4 Crafty Chicks - Use Pearls 

Make it Monday - Always Anything Goes

Here Comes LIfe

It is great to be back in the Studio - feels like forever since I have spent quality time in there, but today fixed that!  I have had a lot of fun playing with the newly Released Radiant Neons from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko

I have applied Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko: Radiant Neon: Electric Pink, Electric Yellow, Electric Green using a Sponge Dauber.   Next I have used The Crafter's Workshop 6x6 Fifties Clock Stencil and Radiant Neons in Electric Blue, again applied with a Sponge Dauber.

Next I have added some of the irRESISTible Texture Spray in pink.  The closer you are when you spray the bigger the splotches, the further away you hold the bottle, the finer the mist.  I have done both on this card.  I have also created some 'Enamel Dots' using the irRESISTible Texture Spray, taking the top off and letting the nozzle drip in controlled amounts onto my Imagine Crafts Craft Mat.

The sentiment is by Penny Black and stamped using a stamp from Penny Black Inc. and has been stamped using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink in Danube Blue. 

All layers have been cut out using the A2 Modern Stationery Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator and the Grand Calibur® Machine.

This card is for the following challenges:

A Creative Romance - Let's Get Sentimental 

 Brown Sugar – Use a Die Cut or a Punch

 QKR Stampede – Sentiment Only 

4 Krafty Girlz - Anything Goes

 Baffies Kreativladen - Anything Goes

Make it Monday - Always Anything Goes

 WordArt Wednesdays - Anything goes (must be uplifting, no dark images or themes)

Start Each Day

Hello Blog friends, I am sharing a nostalgic card today, I love the sentiment - imagine if we all did this!!

I have used the Labels Twenty-Three Spellbinders® Nestabilities in the largest sizes #5 and #6 using the Grand Calibur® Machine.   

NOTE: Spellbinders number their Dies from the smallest to the largest - the smallest being #1.

I have stamped the image using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink in Onyx Black and the Labels Twenty-Three Die has been used as a Stencil before the image is removed - using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink in Desert Sand using a

Sponge Dauber

The sentiment is a precut image from KaiserCraft - it certainly makes for a quick card when needed. The gorgeous rose and lace are from my stash.

The bling is from Want2Scrap© - Swirls Finesse - Brown Rhinestone...how divine are they!! 

I also used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ - 3D Foam Squares and E-Z Adhesive Runner.
