Peachy Keen Stamps New Release/Sketch Challenge

Happy Sunday!! 

 

Have you seen the new releases at Peachy Keen Stamps?  They are AWESOME!  I LOVE them.

Also, the Peachy Keen Design Team has a blog hop going on, with a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to the Peachy Keen store. 

 

Today I have a card to share with you that I created with the new release and for the Peachy Keen Challenge 14-09 - Sketch challenge.

 

 

 

 

I used the PKS June SOTM set for the adorable clown and ticket.  

 

 

They were colored with Copics, glossy accents were added to the lenses of his glasses and a bit of yellow Spica pen to his bow tie and cuffs. 

The mouth is drawn freehand with a Copic multiliner, since the face I chose didn't have one.  :-)

 

I used another clown and face from the June SOTM set for the inside, and the ticket from PKS Circus Treats stamp set.   

 

I created a coordinating envelope with my envelope maker and the Circus Treats stamp set.

Flower Fun!

Happy Friday!

 

I am excited to Guest DT at Miriam's Crafting Blog, and to share my flower project with you!

 

Miriam generously supplied me with some goodies from her store, including these gorgeous bronze flowers.  When I pulled them out, I KNEW I had to use them. 

 

 

I am a paper crafter...so it took me SEVERAL attempts to finally decide what I was going to do with the flower.

 

The first thing I tried was putting a red eyelet in the middle and adding Stickles (my go-to crafty item) for some pizzazz....

I am totally in love with this flower...but I just couldn't figure out what to do with it so that the project was just as pretty as the flower itself.

 

Then it hit me!!  COPICS!

 

I purchased a small airbrush gun months & months ago.  But I have been afraid to 'waste' the air can.  You know what I mean, right?  You have this wonderful product that you just don't want to use due to fear of an inferior final product??  

Yeah, me too! 

 

So, with the airbrush, I thought I would the flower as a mask.... great idea, huh?  I thought so!

I used a dark pink (RV34) Copic marker.  I have been on a kick the last two weeks of using Valentine colors and making cards for the family.  Naturally, I used a pink Copic.  ;-)

 

What's great about this method IS that I have a background paper for my creation AND a great flower for another project.   

 

After I was sure the Copic ink as dry. I cut the paper to 4 x 5 1/4 & inked around the edges with fluid chalk.  Stamped "Thinking of you" in Memento ink.  To give the 'flowers' a bit more pop and definition, I added some flat back pearls from Miriam's. 

 

Here's my card.....................

 

It's it beautiful?  I LOVE it!

 

Thank you for spending some time with me today, and don't forget to link up your project HERE.
