ICAD DAY #8

Sweetie Bird

I love this Unity Stamp Co Stamp of the Week Owl.  He is so serious in his quest for love.  I had the map paper in my scraps that I just thought was perfect.  I first colored the map with Distress Tea Dye Stain,  Then I added a little Distress Walnut ink to the corners. 

I colored the owl with Distress Markers: Vintage Photo, Worn Lipstick and Tea Dye stain that was left on my work map.  I popped him up with some foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment with Memento Luxe Rich Cocoa.  The sentiment is part of the stamp set.

Happy Crafting!

ICAD DAY #7

Bowl of Cherries

I just went with an simple card today.  I wanted the image to really be the focus.  I love those bowls teetering around.  I used Distress Markers with my homemade Perfect Pearls Spray to color the background and the image.  The bowl of cherries is the Stamp of the Week for Unity Stamp Co. called Out on a Limb stamped with Memento Luxe Rich Cocoa.  It did come with a sentiment but I really just wanted it to be all about the cherries.  I used a fan brush to make the rays coming away from the cherries.

There is so much shine and glitter I just love it.  I used Wink of Stella Clear on the cherries.


All the colors of Distress Markers I used:

• Broken China
• Chipped Sapphire
• Tumbled Glass
• Mermaid Lagoon
• Barn Door
• Faded Jeans
• Abandoned Coral
• Twisted Citron

Leave me a comment, I would love to hear what you think about my cards.

Happy Crafting!
