OWH Birthday Bash 2013 Blog Skip with Stampers Best - Wed., Sept. 11, 2013



Welcome to the Operation Write Home Birthday Bash 2013 Blog Skip with Stampers Best!

If you'd like to start the skip from the beginning, please click HERE.

I made three cards for the skip by using Stampers Best fundraiser stamps.
StampersBest.com makes a donation for each sale of the stamp to Operation Write Home.


 
I stamped the image in black and heat embossed by clear embossing powder.
Colored the image with watercolor markers.
The sentiment is a part of the OWH stamp.
 
 
 
I stamped the background by masking tape technique.
Colored with watercolor markers.
 

 
I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed by white embossing powder. 
Dry embossed with my new heart embossing folder.
Chalk inked the hearts on embossed surface.


 
Your next stop on the Skip is Marlene.


Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Awww yay! I was hoping to see Miss Ciara on a card, yours is so cute and that's a great design for it! And I always love seeing Hero Panels, another idea for how to color that one. Thanks for sharing, Seongsook!

  2. The sentiment on your last card is wonderful and I like that you kept the card simple. It's very heartfelt. Thanks for these inspiring cards for our heroes.

  3. I really like the first card you posted- you are reminding me that when I follow a sketch, sometimes the layers don't have to be a pattern (which often trips me up)- but rather a texture will do and be more impactful! Thank you for participating and reminding me! ; )

  4. The last card is great. The embossing and chalk ink go hand in hand on this one. What a great sentiment.

  11. Your cards are always such a joy to look at! I love the HERO card - I look at this stamp occasionally - wonder what to do with it - and usually I put it away. Now I have something to proudly copy! Thanks!

  22. The love card was so "out of the box" for this challenge, and perfectly delightful! I think some hero will enjoy it very much.

  23. Beautiful cards! My favorite is the last one, it is a great sentiment and not one I've seen before. Ciara is great as a stamp!!! I can see her there from Sandy's pictures and she makes a great stamp/card. The middle card is lovely, and the only thing I have trouble with is seeing the H in the Hero in the middle. It takes my eye awhile to lock onto it.
    Thank you sharing your talent!

  31. I never thought to chalk my embossed paper. Definitely have to try that. All three of your cards are beautiful!

  32. Seongsook, I love all three of your cards. Very nice job of coloring Ciara. Loved the way you created the background on the second card, using the masking tape technique. The third card is my favorite! The white, heat embossed sentiment is stunning and the chalk to highlight the hearts is very nice.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Very nice group of cards Seongsook! What a great idea to incorporate that masking tape stamping technique into your card background. Hard not to love the Ciara stamp and the embossed hearts make such a nice background for that truly touching sentiment stamp. Great work on all of these!
