Santa and His Reindeer

September 18, 2018 Jentimko 3 Comments

I have two more cards to share with you today that I created for the Picket Fence Studios new release. I have had such fun with the new sets and will be sharing more with you over the next weeks too. Today, I’m focusing on Santa and his reindeer. Two adorable sets! And don’t forget my GIVEAWAY….see my post from Sunday to enter.

I love all the Santa images in the Santa’s mischief set and the sentiments are awesome too. Lots of possibilities for fun cards! I fell in love with the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge #289 and thought it wold be fun to use for this card. I stamped Santa in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with my Copics. I thought the Framework Dies were a great shape for the sketch and used it to cut some of the Festive Farmhouse paper (SU). I added a sentiment from the set onto some Wood Textures paper (SU) and then layered on the elements.

For my second card, I chose three of the reindeer from Santa’s Sleigh Ride and watercolored them with Zig Clean Color Pens. Using a mask that I created with the Land Borders Dies I added a distress ink background with my Life Changing Blender Brushes. And yes, they really are THAT good!! Super smooth and absolutely zero brush or blending lines! I put the panel on a base of School House Red card stock and added the sentiment onto a banner. It is embossed with Wow Bright White Embossing Powder.

I hope you enjoy these cards and don’t forget to enter for my giveaway!! See you soon!

Newton’s Nook Designs May Release – Peony Blooms

May 15, 2018 Jentimko 31 Comments

Welcome to day 2 of the May Release from Newton’s Nook Designs. Today we get to share another floral set and I’m thrilled to introduce Peony Blooms. And do I ever love peonies!!

I was totally inspired by my own peonies that are blooming right now. These flowers are so special that I decided to keep the rest of the card pretty simple. I stamped the image onto Bristol Smooth paper and colored using Zig Clean Color Markers. A few shades of each color was all I needed.

After coloring the flowers, I cut them out with the coordinating die. Then I cut a frame from the Framework Dies (shown yesterday). This scalloped frame is really wonderful, don’t you think? I added a sentiment from the stamp set (LOVE this style of script) and then popped the frame and the flowers up on foam tape. I added a few colored pearls that I thought were pretty with the image. Mostly, I didn’t want to do anything to take away from the beautiful art of these flowers!!

And speaking of flowers, here are my gorgeous peonies from over the weekend. Yep, the timing on this stamp set could not be better. Now let’s go see what the rest of the team created! Now on to everyone’s favorite part of release week. A chance to win!!

Newton’s Nook Designs May Release – Blooming Botanicals and Framework Dies

May 14, 2018 Jentimko 27 Comments

Welcome to day 1 of the May Release from Newton’s Nook Designs. This week is just full of amazing products and I can’t wait to share. Today, we start off with a gorgeous floral set called Blooming Botanicals and a die set that is a must have.

Can I confess that I’m all in on florals right now? So this set made me jump for joy when I saw it. Just look at all those lovely flowers to color!! I opted to stamp the whole image onto white card stock with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I stamped it again so I could have a couple of flowers to color and fussy cut individually. With the whole image was cut out using the Frames and Flags Dies combined with the Framework Dies (for the insert). These sets are meant for mixing and matching! Love that!

I colored the flowers in shades of yellow and orange using my Copic markers, added a few leaves and cut them all out. Then on some Bristol Smooth paper, I sponged on some yellow and orange Distress Inks to coordinate with the flowers. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set onto the panel and the put it behind the window using foam dots (Dimensionals).

I can’t wait to see what the rest of the team has done with this amazing set and the great dies. Make sure to go see what they have created! Now on to everyone’s favorite part of release week. A chance to win!!
