CCEE1041 A Hint of Wood

Hello Everyone!!  Today's card is for this week's CCEE Challenge to use Wood on your card!  Well this was perfect timing for me since this month ODBD released this Wood Background stamp!  :)

I started with a base of Chocolate Chip and layered with River Rock and some Basic Grey Pyrus DP.  The Label 8 panel is the Wood Background stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa onto white and then I decided it really should have been cream or aged - so I airbrushed it with a E55 marker!  :)  Across the bottom I've added some olive ribbon and popped up the oval panel.  The sentiment is from ODBD's Randi's Song has has been stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves.  I used more olive ribbon to make a bow for the top and wrapped the ties around the back of the card and then topped with the leaf.  The leaf is also from Randi's Song and has been stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and airbrushed with E13, YR21 and YG93 to give an Autumn feel.

Stamps - Randi's Song, Wood Background (ODBD)
Paper - X-press It Blending Card, Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Basic Grey Pyrus DP
Ink - Memento Rich Cocoa and Memento Bamboo Leaves

That's all for today, thanks for visiting!!  :)

CCEE Sing For Joy

Today I got to play with the brand new ODBD sets which will be released on Feb 1st!!!  This one is called Sing For Joy.  Isn't this cardinal amazing (and it will be FAB for Christmas cards too!!!)  I used this week's sketch challenge by the CCEE girls.

I started with a base of dark green bazzill, layered with mid blue bazzill and pierced around the edge.  For the three panels required for the sketch challenge, I stamped the branch from Sing For Joy in Chocolate Chip on White and lightly coloured and then sponged all around it in Steel Blue ink.  In the spare corner I stamped part of the verse from the same set in Chocolate Chip.  The main Cardinal was stamped twice in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with markers (Artichoke, Cocoa, Real Red, Ruby Red, Basic Grey) and a blender pen.  One I cut out with Small Circle Nesties, the other I cut out the cardinal with scissors and popped up with foam tape on top of the circle panel.  This layer was matted with more dark green bazzill and I finished with a few tiny Red Kaisercraft Pearls.
