C.C Designs Preview Day 2: Colorful Days

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's Day Two of June Previews for C.C Designs! I'm showing off the NEW Colorful Days Stamp Set. It's Rainbow Brite and her buddy Sprite! I used Thermoweb Rainbows Galore Toner Sheets and Mystic Rainbow Decofoil for my background. Rainbow Brite was one of my FAVORITE cartoons growing up.

Measure Twice, Cut Once, Pound to Fit

Hi Crafty Friends,
Masculine cards are always a challenge but Brass & Bliss has made it easy with this awesome Too Many Tools Stamp Set 37020. I love the sentiments on this set, perfect for Father's Day.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Is your dad or husband handy or like to build things?
A: Me? Yes, my dad is the most handy man ever, built us a treehouse when I was young, our back porch, bookshelves and lately he has been doing birdhouses.

Step #1: I started my card by creating my background using Brass & Bliss Repeating Bricks Stencil 4102 with Brass & Bliss Large Blending Brushes and Color Fuse Inks Pecan and Cinnamon.



Step #2: I colored the tools in silver and wood brown to give them the more rustic old fashioned look. I also covered them in glossy accents to give them texture and the silver parts "shine" just like real tools.
Step #3: I added my tools diagonally across my card. I stamped the sentiments on the Brass & Bliss Offset Tags Dies 5605-03D and put them on opposing corners of my card. I mounted my stenciled base on kraft paper.

Supplies:
