WWC238 – Tristan\’s "All About Occasions" Challenge

A blog about cardmaking and papercrafting.
The photo above shows the dry embossing better. I am entering this card in The Happy Little Stampers \”Anything Goes With Dies\” Challenge and Little Red Wagon \”Stitched\” Challenge. I used MFT\’s stitched die to emphasize the accent panel.
I had the idea of creating a 3D seaside village for my aunt\’s birthday. She loves watercoloring so that is the technique I chose. I love this beautiful Art Impressions Shoppes stamp set.

Village Shoppes |
I started by stamping the two shoppes with grey ink on Ranger Watercolor paper. Then I used my new watercolors to bring my scene to life. Next, I took another panel of watercolor paper and created my background. After the shop images were dry, I fussy-cut and used foam tape to adhere to the background panel. Last, I stamped the sentiment (WPlus9 – Doodle Buds) in the sky area.
I am happy with the card and hope Aunt Nancy will like it.

I finally purchased a Gemini Junior die cut machine and I am having so much fun! I am not sure why I waited so long! Previously, I fussy cut everything. Doodle Buds by WPlus9 is one of my all time favorite stamp sets so it was in my first “die” order.
I started by stamping, coloring and die cutting three blooms. I added some white accents with a gel pen. I then used a new stamp for the ground, the stripes from Pink & Main’s pattern maker set. I used Altenew’s Green Apple ink. This is my first time using this stamp but I really like how it simulated grassy ground. Next I stamped the stems and leaves for the three floral images and colored. Then I cut the card using the largest stitched rectangle die (from My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax set 2) and added the die cut blooms.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
The Flower Challenge Use Your Latest Stamps and Dies. I used plenty of “new” on this card. New Dies: WPlus9 Doodle Buds, My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle Dies. New Stamps: Pink&Main Pattern Maker stamp set.
Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With Dies Dies used: WPlus9 Doodle Buds
and My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax set 2.

I wanted to try a girly card in slightly non-traditional colors, in this case, oranges and lime greens. I came up with the idea of a confetti background forming a square with some pattern stamping for the focal point. I used WPlus9 Doodle Buds, Sunny Studio Tropical Paradise and SSS Beautiful Ride floral stamps. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn Year 2 Birthday Turtle.
I colored the images in with Copics and then used the markers to make the confetti background. I then embellished with tiny gem stones on four of the flowers.
I hope you will stop by Watercooler Wednesdays Challenge to see what the other artists have created. This week is Feminine Anything Goes which is such a fun prompt. We would love to see your creation!
I entered this card in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge \”Add Some Red\”. I used Copic R20 and several shades of yellow-red.
Thanks for stopping by!

In June, I won the AAA 4th Birthday Challenge with my Yappy Birthday submission. I won a 30 pound gift card to Visible Images! AAA also asked me to be a guest designer for today\’s Challenge: AAA Cards Over The Rainbow Challenge. I was so excited that I created two different cards and liked this one the best, so I submitted it to the Challenge.
The Doodle Buds Stamp Set by WPlus9 is a favorite and I thought it would be fun to ink blend the Rainbow. I stamped the images and colored/blended with my Copic markers.
I also gave this card to my card making friend, Chris.
I am entering this card in two Birthday Challenges:
Always Happy Birthday Challenge
Update: I was happy to learn I won \”Birthday Honours\” at Seize the Birthday!
Thanks for stopping by!
