August Angel Art: New Rubber!

It's that time again. This month our focus is on new images from TAC's 2009-2010 catalog.

I paired a new owl image form Be Square with some older sentiments. To create the background I stamped the "Hoot" sentiment using Versamark ink. Then I used Prismacolor Colored pencils and baby oil to color the image. Normally I use OMS but I heard that you can achieve similar results using the baby oil. I really like the results and will use baby oil more often!

Supplies
Stamps: Be Square, What a Hoot, & A Blessing to Me
Paper: US white & Kraft Cardstock
Other: Versamark & Palette Noir inks, & paper piercer

July Angel Art: Replinish your stash

Hi all! For this month's Angel Art we'll be showcasing cards that we've created to add to our stash. The summer months are so busy and it's a challenge for some of us to find time to sneak away from the kiddos to create so it's always convenient to have a few cards on hand when you need them. I have to warn you... I used a lot of yellow cardstock :)

These first two cards feature images from TAC's new set called Skinny Birds. Thanks Laurie for the images :)

                               ^{(Click the image to enlarge)}

This birdy looks so sad I thought it would make the perfect "I'm sorry" card.

Stamps: Skinny Birds, Ordinary Greetings

Paper: Yellow, orange, & white 

Color: Palette Noir ink, watercolor crayons, & blender pen

Other: Floral embellie, button, white scrappers floss

_{^{This card features one of my favorite floral images. It's so easy & fun to color! Both the image & sentiment are from TAC's Forever Friends stamp set. I used an image from TAC's Floral Dingbats stamp set to create the background image. I stamped the image repeatedly overlapping the images in some areas. Here's a close up view...}}

Happy Father's Day!

It's time for another Angel Art Blog Hop! This month's theme is Father's Day so if you haven't created your Father's Day cards yet you'll find plenty of inspiration here!

This card was so quick & easy to make I think I'm going to use this same layout to create a few all occasions cards for my stash. I used TAC's Penelope patterned paper collection for this card. It's not your traditional Father's Day Card color scheme but I like it! :)

Supplies:

Stamps: Trendy Greetings

Paper: Penelope patterned paper collection & kraft cardstock

Other: Black & Brown ink, brown button from my stash, & white scrappers floss

I created this card a couple of months ago for a limited supply challenge. We were supposed to use a circle stamp, a button, & ribbon. I used one of the circle stamps from TAC's Circle Sampler to create the background paper.

I also used scrappers floss on the button & a nestabilities label diecut. One of my faves :)

Thanks for looking!

Supplies:

Stamps: TAC's Circle Sampler & Trendy Greetings

Paper: TAC's Premium white CS & Bazzill

Other: Black ink, black button, ribbon, & scrappers floss

March Angel Art: Spring Theme

Can you believe it's already the end of March?? This month is just flying by! But I don't mind because it means Spring is here! Today was gorgeous here in Maryland! I just hope it stays this way and doesn't drop back down to the 40's. 

Anyway, it's time for another round of Angel Art. This month's theme was spring so I created a Easter card using one of TAC's new sets called Some Bunny. 

I also pulled out one of my Cuttlebug embossing folders to create the background. I don't use them nearly as much as I should. I love the embossed look because it's so easy to create and It adds so much texture and detail to the card. 

Supplies:

Stamps: TAC's Some Bunny

Paper: TAC's Premium white CS, Kraft CS, & DCWV cardstock

Ink: Palette Noir

Other: Prismacolor Colored Pencils, Gamsol, ribbon, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Nestabilities Dies

December Angel Art Challenge: Winter Theme

Good morning! Hope you all had a nice weekend.

Today is such an exciting day for me. The month's Angel Art Challenge (AAC) is extra special because we have 15 participants including myself! I hope you'll be inspired by all of our creations and maybe even find an idea for a last minute gift or card for a loved one today!

I actually have two cards to share with you.

 

I'm always in need of thank you cards, I created a set of these to send out after the holidays. I used a snowman set from Hello Snow, the newest snowman set introduced in TAC's fall supplement, and the sentiment is from Ordinary Greetings. I also used patterned paper from TAC's Catelynne paper collection, which is also on sale buy one get one free! The image was colored using Copic markers.

 

This card features an image from three of my all time favorite TAC stamp sets Snowflakes, Script Background, and a retired set called Hello Winter, which happens to be this months Vintage stamp set, available with a $30 purchase for only $9.75.

I stamped the snowflakes using Versamark ink, the script background was stamped and sponged using Palette ink, and the snowman was colored using Copic markers.

Please take a peek at what my Angel Sisters created...

November's Angel Art Challenge #2: Thanksgiving

Can you believe it's the end of November already?? This month went by sooo fast!! But that's ok because that just means it's time for another Angel Art Challenge. This months theme is Thanksgiving so we all created Thanksgiving or Thank you themed creations.

Here's mine... yes I used orange again! LOL I just can't keep my hands off of it. The ducky & pumpkin is from TAC's Pick of the Patch stamp set. I colored it using Copic markers. The sentiment comes from two of the GWP stamp sets. I normally stamp my sentiments using one color but I thought I'd do something different and I was really surprised by the difference it made. The patterned paper is from one of K&Co's halloween paper lines and the ribbon is by American Crafts.
