#wplus9

I’m dead tired as I’m writing this after a week of guests and a weekend of late nights partying, but I had this idea to make these cards for a few weeks now ever since I saw the theme at The Twofer Challenge was “Trees” and so I pushed my tired eyes to their limit to make the cards before the challenge ended.

I’m still in my tropical mood so I used the palm trees from WPlus9 “Flock Yeah” stamp…

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Friday everyone, Holly here today. I’m running a little late this week, I can’t believe September is almost over!!! Before I get to my card today I wanted to remind you there’s still time to join our Chameleon Pen giveaway...You can find all the details in this post here. We also have a Fall Video Challenge going on and our Bi-Weekly Challenge to check out!!

My project today features the WPlus9 Summer Citrus and Basic Labels Set and coordinating dies.

I started with a piece of Bristol Smooth paper and then I stamped the solid image of the Pineapple and stems using Distress inks. I used Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed for Pineapple and Peeled Paint for the stems. I stamped each image with the Distress ink and then I spritzed it before stamping down onto the paper. Once I had the images stamped where I wanted them I spritzed the paper making the ink move around a little and I heat set it with a heat tool. I added a few splatters of the same colors of Distress Ink and heat set it on more time. Then I stamped the outline images over the Solid images off centered just a little with VersaFine Jet Black Ink.

Then I added a few splatters of Black Soot Distress Paint to the background and heat set everything one last time. I trimmed a 1/16 of an inch of each side and adhered the panel to a top folding Black Licorice card base.  I stamped the label and sentiment from the Basic Label set in VersaFine Black ink and used the coordinating die cut to trim it out. I adhered the label over the pineapples with some foam tape. I added some Sequins from the Neat & Tangled Peacock Feathers Mix and Pretty Pink Posh Black 4mm.

Sending Birthday Wishes

Hello, MarkerPOP friends!!! We are coming up on the end of summer. I am ready to start seeing some fall flowers popping up in our local gardens. This Texas summer heat has done a number on the flowers!!! What is your favorite fall flower? Mine probably would be sunflowers.

Today, I am showcasing the WPlus9 Design’s Modern Peonies stamp set and ZIG Clean Color markers:

The floral image is stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used only a few ZIG colors to color in the image. In fact, only one shade of each color was used. Find out below the exact colors used. To highlight the flower, I used a very light watercolor blue background.

Once the watercolor was completely dry, I used a fancy scalloped frame die to cut out the panel. The panel is attached to kraft cardstock. To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment using brown ink onto the card. The final touch was to add three clear droplets to the card.

The following ZIG Clean Color Markers were used on today’s card:

024, 026, 036, 041, 052

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Reach For The Stars With WPplus9

Hello!  It is Lisa here with you today, and I have a card that I think would work perfectly for any Grad young or old… or anyone who might need a little pick me up.

I just love these sweet images in the WPlus9 Design Studio Little Dreamers onto Ranger Watercolor Cardstock.  To create my card I started by stamping the star image first as I wanted it in the forefront. I then masked it off and stamped the little bear hanging off the side.  To color the bears and create a background I used Distress Markers to watercolor with.  While the panel was still wet I flicked some white onto it to create an outer space look.

Once the panel was completely dry I die cutted it with the Lawn Fawn Stax Small Stitched Rectangle Cuts.  I added some star sequins to finish the panel off before adhering it to a bright yellow and white stripe patterned paper.

When I watercolored with the Distress Markers I colored them first onto my clear stamping blocks and picked the colors up with water and a brush.  I hope to see you join us in our latest challenge for a chance to win an amazing prize!  And don’t forget to check out our latest giveaway too!

Thanks so much For stopping by!

Happy Cafting!
