Thank You Card Set

 

Hello! We have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. It is a Color Challenge in which you choose two or more of the colors in the color chart below.

Our sponsor for the challenge is Beccy's Place. I am using a digital freebie. After seeing the Poppies image, I thought that the perfect project for this image is a card set which will be a gift to my son's teacher.

I printed the image on Strathmore watercolor paper. I was impressed on how vivid the digital print out was. I colored the flowers with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor. I colored a print out with one color from the color board, and used the green from the color board for the leaves. I fussy cut the image leaving a white border around it. 

I die cut a retired My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad using one of the Waffle Flower A2 layers die. I die cut the Pinkfresh Studio Noteworthy Frames die set on the bottom portion of this patterned paper panel so I can slide the flower through it. It will also be a place to put the sentiment on. Details on the sentiments can be found below with more photos of the cards.

I trimmed color coordinating cardstocks at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I embossed this with Ellen Hutson Stitching Lines dies. These dies, as it is named, make designed line impressions. I have not snipped off all the wires which connects these dies together. I lined up the dies that I have snipped off with the rest of the dies and applied a piece of tape to the back to keep it all together. I made a diagonal impression of these dies for added interest. 

The sentiment is from Ink Blot Botanical Borders embossed with gold embossing powder.

I added a touch of vellum to the frame notch created by the Pinkfresh Studio die. After I die cut the frame on gold vellum, I cut off the ends with a scissor, following the impression created by the die. The sentiment is a die from Little B. I die cut this on black cardstock. I adhered three word die cuts on top of each other. I added Zig Wink of Stella on the top for shimmer.

The sentiment is from Avery Elle Peonies stamp set. I heat embossed this using Ranger Seafoam White embossing powder.

Which one is your favorite? Despite having yellow as my favorite color, I like the dramatic effect of the blue flower. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope to see your creations in the challenge blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

November 2020 Linky Challenge

Three Tags, Three Ways

I created this tag to participate in Pebbles Instagram Challenge on creating a tag using a tool. This is a late post. I submitted my creation to Pebbles first before featuring it here in my blog. I am so happy to share to all of you that I won first in the poll. It is very motivating, I tell you! Unfortunately, I am unable to link it here because the poll was done through IG stories. 

I created this tag using an old Pebbles Christmas collection, Merry, Merry. I used the 3 x 3 cut-apart sheet to be the focal image of the tag. I used a tag die from the Mama Elephant Framed Tags-Union Square die set. This die set enables you to cut a solid square tag, and at the same time, it allows you to cut a window with a cover that is cut on all sides except the top. Instead, this side is scored. 

I die cut a solid square tag and another tag with the window. Before I put the tags together, I stamped the solid square tag using a stamp from the Mama Elephant Confetti stamp set. I stamped this using a gold Tsukineko Delicata pigment ink. After this has dried, I adhered the 3x3 cut aparts to the solid tags. For the green tag, I adhered the window tag straight on, making sure it is aligned. For the ‘Deck the Halls’ tag, I die cut several window tags. I cut off the flap using a craft knife, then adhered this on top of each other to create a recessed look. And, for the snowman tag, I created it into a shaker card. 

To finish the tags, I threaded a thin ribbon through the tag hole. I die cut a white cardstock using Little B Handwritten cutting dies. I added a puffy sticker which is also part of the paper collection.

Challenge #111~Anything Goes

Candy Inspired Coloring

We are currently having an 'Inspired By Your Favorite Candy' Challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. Seeing the Ice Cream Shop image by Polkadoodles, I got my inspiration from the Gingerbread House and all the candy decorations that come with it. My youngest son asked for one last Christmas, and I felt bad that it got sold out pretty fast. We will make one this year for Christmas and Halloween. Yeah, that's right. Target sells a Halloween version of the Gingerbread House which is also sold out at the moment. Can you believe that?

Back to the project, it is such a challenge to color this one. There are too many elements to color, so I got challenged by color choice and the size of the elements. This is the second piece that I am coloring so I was extra careful not to mess it up. I used Copics to color the images. I am not really good in taking note of what colors I used since I tend to just pick the markers from the box, then put it back when I am pulling new ones out.

I added the Magda Polakow critters to complete the scene. I colored the critters with Copics. I fuzzy cut the images. I love the way they fit into the scene by having them look like they are sitting on the stools. I added Ranger Glossy Accents to the eyes.

To add more details to the scene, I stamped the background with clouds from Lawn Fawn Into The Woods stamp set using Simon Says Stamp Sea Glass dye ink. I stamped some grass from Mama Elephant Just Hatched stamp set using SSS Apple Green dye ink. I added some ice cream from LF Party Animal stamp set. I stamped the ice cream, colored it with Copics and fuzzy cut it. (It comes with a matching die which I don't have.) I cut a fence using Cricut Wrap It Up cartridge on a Recollection Woodgrain embossed specialty paper.

For the sentiment, I die cut a red cardstock using Little B Handwritten cutting die. I embossed this using Wow! Ultra Thick clear powder and I adhered this to a white strip of cardstock. I embossed this strip with LF Stitched Borders die. I snipped one edge to create a fishtail banner.

I adhered this panel onto a red cardstock slightly larger to create a mat. I then adhered this to a kraft colored card base.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a blessed & brilliant day!
