Unity - Adventure Girl

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a couple cards made with a stamp set from Unity called "Adventure Girl".  The first is a birthday card for the daughter of a friend who is away from home at college. The image is stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  I cut the edge with a spiral notebook edge die.  The patterned papers are from a 6"x6" paper pad from Pebbles - Garden Party.  

Copic Colors: Bags: RV25, RV29; Shirt: BG10, BG11, BG15, BG32; Jeans: B93, B95, B97; Boots: E13, E15, E17, E19; Background: W0, W1, W2, W3, W5, W7

I made a second card for my niece who moved cross country in September, closer to home. YAY!  This one I used some postage edging rather than notebook paper edging. Colored with Copic markers in grays, blues and browns.   

Copic Colors: Bags/Jeans: B93, B95, B97; 
Boots/Hair: E13, E15, E17, E19; Shirt/Ground: W0, W1, W2, W3

Unity - The Lord Will Fight for You

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a card of encouragement using a stamp from Unity called "The Lord will fight for you".  This is a great stamp with many uses, but I used it for a friend having major surgery and encouragement for family trying to selling their house.

This is a 1-piece stamp, which I used my stamp platform to print on white cardstock.  The image was colored with Copic Markers then cut with a stitched rectangle die. I matted the image with a larger stitched scalloped rectangle in PTI New Leaf cardstock.  The base card is PTI Summer Sunrise cardstock. 

Copic Colors: Y32, Y35, Y38; YG03, YG21, YG23, YG25;

E33, E35, E37, B0000, B000

Spellbinders - Scenic drive birthday 2

 Happy Saturday,

Today I have Mark's birthday card to share using the 6 layer stencil from Spellbinders called Scenic Drive, which creates the sky, clouds, sun, trees and ground.  This one has a 30-piece muscle car added to the front, rather than a sentiment.  

I used PTI Spring Rain and Blueberry Sky inks for the sky, Terracotta Tile, Melon Berry and Bright Buttercup for the sun, Ripe Avocado and New Leaf for the trees and Fine Linen, Kraft and Dark Chocolate for the ground.  The inks were applied using the multi-step stencil and blending brushes to create this great retro-graphic scene.  For the puffy clouds are used Light Fluffy Paste for some texture.

I cut the stenciled image and Black mat out using DieNamics Circle STAX Set 1.  I made this card a square card 5.25" square.  I continued part of the sky pattern and ground from the image with Blueberry Sky and Kraft cardstock.

The muscle car is a 30-piece die. The car body is PTI Americana. Bumper, grill, headlight trim, rearview mirror, side mirror, steering wheel, hubcaps, door handle are metallic silver cardstock.  Main Wheels, interior are PTI Smokey Shadow.  Tread of the wheels, bench seat and racing stripes are PTI True black.  Headlights in golden yellow and blinker lights in orange.  It was a lot of die cuts and gluing but quite the car when finished.

Unity - What the Cluck Birthday

 Happy Saturday!

Today, I have the birthday card I made for my high school girlfriends.  I loved this Unity set when it came out last year. I got it when it was on sale last year and finally used it!  The set is called "What the Cluck?!".  

I attended an online card marking summit back in January and the focus was using your scraps.   I have a plastic bin next to my work desk where I started keeping my scraps this year. These cards were made with patterned paper scraps and I think they turned out great. I made 4.25 x 5.5" panels with the patchwork and sewed over the seams.  Then mounted the stitched panel on a cream base card. 

The image was stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers.

Copic Colors: E21, E23, E25, R46, YR14, YR16, YR18, B01, YG95

I cut the image with a stitched rectangle die, then aged it with PTI ink, Fine Linen, Kraft and Cocoa Bean ink and blending brush.  I stamped the sentiment on a fishtail banner and aged it with ink.  The circle and 55 are from a Spellbinders die set "Happy Birthday with Numbers" from 2018, retired unfortunately.

Here is a second card with a different color scheme:
