Simon Says Stamp: Wednesday Challenge

Here is a card I made for this week's Wednesday Challenge at the Simon Says Stamp blog. 

The Challenge is to create a birthday card.  I only have a couple of stamp sets from Simon Says Stamp.  These stamps are from a Christmas set!

Supplies:

Stamps:  Warm Christmas Wishes - Simon Says Stamp; Swoosh  - Papertrey Ink 

Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black; Chipped Sapphire, Mermaid Lagoon, Tumbled Glass - Ranger

Dies: Swoosh - Papertrey Ink; Double Pierced Circle - Avery Elle

Other: Copic Markers, Rhinestones, Embossing Powder

MIM #240

Here is the card I made for this week's Make it Monday challenge at Papertrey Ink:

I masked off the right hand side of the card and applied the rubber cement with a paint brush before watercolouring. The cupcake is coloured using Copic Markers and then fussy cut.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Baker's Dozen; Birthday Celebration  - Papertrey Ink 

Ink: Tsukineko Momento Black

Dies: Cake Plates - Papertrey Ink

Other: Copic Markers; Watercolours

Puppy Birthday

Supplies:

Stamps:  Birthday Wishes and Balloons - My Favorite Things; Furry Friends - Avery Elle

Ink: Black - Versafine and Memento;

Markers: Copic

Other: Assorted rhinestones

Banana split birthday card

I tested out this cut file for the Silhouette by cutting all the pieces in white and colouring them with Copics.

I found the Silhouette pick-me-up tool very handy for placing all the 'nuts'.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Strictly Sentiments 1 - WPlus9 

Cut file: Banana Split - Silhouette

Others: Tools - Pick Me Up and Portrait - Silhouette; Copic Markers; Glitter

Superheroes

Here are two cards that I made using exactly the same layout as my previous card.  This time I used digital images of superheroes.  They are from Mariah DeMarco.

Hair Challenge

After completing the Copic intermediate Certification class last week, I thought I should at least find some time to practice!  The hair actually started out blonde, but I decided I did not have enough different markers in that range to make it work, so I started adding browns.  I used so many different markers in the end. The cord for the balloon was made from DMC embroidery thread (I still cross stitch).  I took one strand and twisted it and then folded it over to form a cord.  I glued it down by applying the glue with a toothpick, so it was a bit fiddly.

Supplies:
Stamps: Party - Sugarplum; Best Wishes, Woodgrain - PTI 

Others: Copic Markers; Versamark ink; Momento ink; Thread #554 - DMC; White gel pen

Color Inspiration Challenge #7

A card I made today for the Paper Crafts Color Inspiration Challenge #7.  I used my Copic markers on white Bazzil (these were the closest colours I had to the ones in the challenge).  The couch is stamped on the inside of the card and is die cut on the front.

Supplies:
Stamps:  On My Couch, Chairish - PTI

Die:        Couch - PTI 

Others: Copic Markers Y32, G24, B23, Y38
