Color Blocking

Color Blocking-- the bold clash of colors and graphic, repetitive images. Lexi Daly shows how to create your own Andy Warhol inspired pop art card using an inside and out double masking technique for the perfect one layer color blocked design. While the soup cans are iconic Warhol, so many images will work for this bold, graphic look. And with all the colors to choose from, the possibilities really are endless!

Pointillism Play

Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Heather Nichols explores this idea of  stamping and use a polka dot stamp and other tools to apply color to stamped images in a dot form to color them in. Layering the colored dots together create wonderful blending opportunities that take your stamped images to a new level.

I have to say this is one of my favorite mater's techniques so far!!!! I used a piece of watercolor paper that had a purple splotch on the backside and I love the extra texture and interest it gives my flower.

Supplies~Year of the Flower-Violet- white embossing, Moonshine sequins and Kraft CS.

I stamped the sunflowers and then painted on the Distress Grit, let it dry and then stamped again to get ink on my flowers. So very FUN!!

JUNE 2016 BLOG HOP CHALLENGE

                      

I decided that my In Bloom stamp set reminds me of the Jellyfish in this month's blog picture challenge. I also used the same technique that Betsy showcased for this week's Make It Monday for the background and will be posting it  on the MIM challenge too. My flowers were made with PTI reinkers and Tim Holtz watercolor paper. The background is Autumn Rose and Lovely Lady ink all adhered to a Hawaiian Shore card base. Thank your for stopping by. Enjoy this month Papertrey Blog Hop.  ~Angie~

MAY 2016 BLOG HOP CHALLENGE

This challenge was a fun jump start into summer mode! I water colored the popsicles and then recessed them into another piece of watercolor paper so my base was flat to stamp and emboss my sentiment.

I used PTI Soft Shadow ink for the grey sentiment, I wish I'd used a different grey ink with less brown undertones than the SS has.

                  

Supplies~ PTI Summer Sweetness Die, Soft Shadow ink, Headline Alphabet, Make it Market Still Life: Summer, Sparkle & Shine, Tim Holtz watercolor paper, Zig markers and Misti .

Thank you for stopping by~ Have a blessed day.

Make It Monday #244

                                                                   SCORE LINES

This week's Make It Monday is all about adding score lines to your cards. Design Team Laurie Willison demonstrates a couple of fun different ways she adds score lines to her beautiful cards. One if her suggestions was to add random score lines to your card projects. So, since I had just finished making a card with the awesome "Tulip Time" stamp set and filled in the white space with a PTI stencil design I decided to give it a try. I have to say I LOVE the added texture the random score lines gave my card. Definitely a technique I will be trying many more times. I was also trying a new color combination for my tulips, one I had seen out on one of my morning walks. I am enjoying the new Bright Buttercup ink paired with Melon Berry and Terracotta Tile.

Enjoy your day. Thank you for stopping by.    Angie
