I Brake For...Buildings!

Hello, my faithful Sunday followers!

Today's card is coming to you using a stamp that came from a previous set I have showcased here. Do you remember my cat card I posted a few weeks ago? That sheet of rubber contained not only these ADORABLE cats, but it also contained two building stamps. Today I am using one of those building sets! 

This card, using the Cats and Buildings set, was such a fun card to put together. I imagined that these buildings were probably in some Italian city, perhaps Venice, and because of that I knew I could color them any colors I wished! I LOVE beautiful and unique buildings. I colored these buildings in with Copic markers and then fussy cut them out, it was REALLY easy and fun! 

For the background, I went with a "galaxy" type of sky. I had recently taken a watercolor class on galaxy and moon techniques, and I was excited to practice those skills on this card. I used a combination of pan and tube watercolors. When it was dry I used a combination of a white Gelli Roll pen and white ink to create the stars. I ran this panel through my die cutting machine to create the stitched edge and finally, I found a sentiment in my stash that I loved and white heat embossed it.

This card was such a breeze and so relaxing to color. I absolutely LOVE this Cats and Buildings set, I will most likely be using the other building set in the near future. :D I strongly encourage you to play with this set, and to search similar terms to see what related products I Brake For Stamps has, with well over 3,000 stamp sets there are SO MANY to choose from!

I Brake for A Mouse Note !!!

Hello IBFS fans  !!!

It's Crystal here and today I am using a digital stamp called Mouse with Sign to make my card today.You can buy it in the I Brake for Stamps online store . Digital stamps are great because you can size to fit the design you plan to create and you can reuse them over and over forever, you save the image on your computer and can print it whenever you want.

my image was copic colored and cut out, I used my Brother ScanNcut but you can also do by hand..I just love playing with my toys lol

by background was created with Distress Oxides , 

I smear color on a craft mat spritz with water and smooch my cardstock into it, heat dry between dips until you get the look and color your after

these are the dies I used to add die cut words to my sign 

Thanks for stopping by  , have a blessed day and get them fingers inky today , have some fun !!!

My mom has a birthday coming up next month and I thought this image would make a great birthday card . Today's card has some pop up fun to it a surprise inside , who doesn't love a surprise ????

So on the front of my card I chalked up some clouds and with my silhouette I cut my words using fonts on my computer , this font is called "Magnolia Sky " and I cut it from a mint colored vinyl , Life is a highway ..... when you cut words from vinyl it give the look of heat embossed ,  , if you have contact paper you can use it for your vinyl, give it a try ,... I added some sequins

open my card and the Thelma and Louise image pops up like they are driving down the road of life .. Enjoy the ride was cut from vinyl and added to my vellum word bubble cloud  that over lays my cloud background pattern paper , the card base is black so I turned it into a road and added some middle of the road striping dashes with a while gel pen , the image was copic colored and I added glossy accents to the windshield and the her glasses and yellow stickle to the headlight and Spectrum Noir shimmer pen to the bumper and car grille and a few more sequins ...

I Brake for a Hello ....

Hello IBFS fans !!!

Its Crystal here and today I have a Hello card using a digi stamp by Rick St Dennis called Mandi  and the poppy is  from the Half Sheet Poppies . 

so to get this look I made my own background paper by stamping the poppy in black memento ink ( copic friendly )

I stamped the whole sheet going in different direction and not over-lapping the image

next I add some R59 to the inside ends of the petal to give depth and dimension , I also add yellow stickles dots to the centers

the Hello die cut is from Stampin Up , I die cut it 3 times from black cardstock and stack layered it up , my image was copic colored

inside my card I stamped and colored another poppy

these are the copic colors I used for this card

I Brake for Coffee ...

Hello IBFS fans !!

It's Crystal here and today I am back and using the Coffee Shy Bear  to create a 2D more dimensional look to my image .

if you look closely to the paw and the face I stamped and colored the image  and the stamped again and only colored the paws and face and then fussy cut them out and next I used a stylus on the backside to cup up the paws and face I then add glue dots and put them over them main image to give a puffed up dimensional look  ,

this is a flower molding mat and stylus and I trace the outer edge to cup it and give a dome look

I do run my copic marker around the fussy cut edge to cover the white paper edge

I also stenciled some coffee stains with TH stencil and tore the layer to give a fun distressed look and then I inked the edges with walnut stain , my hello is die cut 2 times and layered up on a black fishtail banner that I used a white gel pen to make faux stitching , I added a few of my DIY enamel dots I make . I added glossy accents to the bears nose to make it look shiny. Thats it for this card ,I hope you enjoyed it .
