Blendabilities in Action

 

Although the Need for Speed stamp set is retired, I had some stamped images of a few in my scrap pile and I thought I would practice with the Blendabilities on them.  They turned out pretty well, but more practice is definitely in order.

 

I used the Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler collections.  The background is Gorgeous Grunge images and the sentiment comes from Boys will be Boys.

 

On each of the windows on the cars, I used the lightest of the Coastal Cabana blendabilities markers.

 

Supplies:

Boys will be Boys, Need for Speed, Gorgeous Grunge

Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Memento Black ink

Blendabilities markers

Whisper White and Smoky Slate card stock

Happy World Card Making Day!  I am going to be spending the morning with some stamping friends at my Stamp A Stack and might sneak a little more card making in later in the day as well.

 

There is the Positively Chevron background stamp again in the background of this card.  I added some Chevron border punch pieces to the bottom right corner as well.

I am playing along with Mary Jo's sketch challenge this week since things are not melting too quickly and spring farm work can't be started yet.

 

 

I used the Need for Speed and Wacky Wishes stamp sets and did two different card with the same sketch, just changing the designer series paper patterns and the base card stock color.

 

 

The first one uses Basic Black as a base and I stamped the cars and sentiments with Basic Gray (on both cards).

 

Each card also uses the same designer series paper pack - Sycamore Street (from this year's Sale-a-bration).

 

I added some scallop dots 1/2" Old Olive ribbon and some brights and neutrals designer buttons.

 

 

Chunky Crayons

The Late Night Stampers Challenge this week is Color Me Happy (hand color something - not my favorite thing!).  I am going back to the melted watercolor crayons for this one and also the Need for Speed stamp set.

 

 

I colored in the race car with watercolor crayons and used my aqua painter  to do some blending.  Then, I cut it out and popped it up over some more of the melted crayons.

 

 

The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners.

Need for Speed

This is one of Stampin' Up!'s new advertisements for some magazines - isn't is fun?!

The card I have for you today is one using the melted water color crayon background that I have shown you before.  I added some Need for Speed images that I had cut out over the top along with the sentiment from Daring Adventure.

The card uses Very Vanilla, Basic Gray, Elegant Eggplant and Bashful Blue card stock and Basic Gray and Bashful Blue classic ink.

I added a few Vintage trinkets to the ends of the Basic Gray card stock layer as well.

4 Wheeler Birthday

With two little boys (and one big one, LOL!) Need for Speed is a great stamp set to have.  On this card, I used the 4 wheeler and added it as the focal image as well as in the background.

Supplies:

Need for Speed

Grunge Rock

Whisper White, Real Red, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight card stock

Real Red, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade classic ink

Summer Smooches DSP

color spritzer tool

Need for Speed

I wanted to mess with my watercolor crayons on this card, but I did not want to just use them to add color, I decided to use them for texture by melting them onto watercolor paper.

It turned out kind of fun, although it might need to be sealed since any time it rubs on something, the crayon leaves a mark. 

Supplies:

Grunge Rock, Need for Speed

Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz, Very Vanilla, Basic Gray card stock

Perfect Plum, Marina Mist, Black stazon ink

2 1/2" circle punch

Big Shot

Stripes impressions folder

blender pen

Subtles buttons

 baker's twine

Need for Speed part 2

Today's card is another one using the Need for Speed stamp set and this time around I used the 4 wheeler.  In an attempt to make it look like mudd splatters, I used the color spritzer tool and my Early Espresso marker, but it didn't quite give it the effect I was going for.

There is a strip of Real Red that I cut with the Tasteful Trim die running through the middle of the card and the designer series paper is a preview of one that will be in the new catalog coming out in June.  It will be available to customers as a preview in April so be on the lookout!

Supplies:

Need for Speed, Grunge Rock

Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight, Real Red card stock

Need for Speed

This week I am going to share a couple different samples made with the Need for Speed stamp set.  The first one features the car image and is a very quick and easy card to put together.

The background images are from the Extreme Elements stamp set and are stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink.

I also included a little strip of Island Indigo that I ran through the Big Shot using the stripes impressions folder.  On top of that is a Pool Party star with a designer brad.
