One Stitch at a Time

This week at One Stitch at a Time our challenge is Here comes Summer. We are sponsored by Creative Craft World who will award 3 Pro-markers to the winner that uses an image from the Stitchy Bear Store. My image is by Stitchy and reminds me of summertime at our cottage. We love watching the hummingbirds in front of our big picture window.

I colored my image in using Copic markers and then used a Spellbinders die to create the shape. I inked the inside of the die cut using my blending tool and distressing ink by Ranger Industries. The background stamp is by Hero Arts, which I heat embossed using ink by Versa Mark and embossing powder by Stampendous. The sentiment stamps are by Unity Stamp Co and Layers of Color. The ink is by Tsukineko. The paper by Recollections, Provo Craft, Cyrogen, and Coredinations. The corrugated paper was something I picked up at Meijer and of course, don't know who makes it. 

Thanks for looking.

Bird-day party

My mom bought me this stamp set by Layers of Color called birdday party. I've never had a stamp set by them before. I think they are nice and wanted to show you a card I made using it. 

For this card I just used the sentiment stamp from the set. It goes great with the embossing folder by Provo Craft. To get the embossed areas different colors I used Smooch ink by Clearsnap. I used different shades of green to give a shadow affect along with some dots of purple mixed in there. 

Thanks for looking.
