Spellbinders Pre-CHA Sneak Peek #9!

July 8, 2008 by admin 134 Comments

It is my privilege to show you a new Spellbinders die that will be released at the Summer CHA tradeshow in about 10 days!  At the end of this post you will find a copy of the official rules for the Spellbinders’ Birthday Celebration Sneak Peek Party Drawing for the die set I am sharing with you today, and for a chance at the grand prize of a new raspberry-colored Wizard and $500 worth of Spellbinders dies!




S4-159


My die to share is the S4-159 Flower, a nested flower die set. (The largest die in this set is about 4″ wide. To help you better understand the size of these die cuts, the cards I have created are 5 1/2″ wide by 4 1/4″ tall.)

I used the largest die to cut a focal point for my card.


I inked the inside non-cutting edge of the die with a brown chalk ink before cutting/embossing my image.  This gives you a nice inked edge.  I used a chalk ink for a shabby chic look.  I first learned about this technique from Michelle Jo Klomp.  Isn’t it wonderful?

Next, I used the two smaller dies in the set to cut stiffened fabric.  Note: I often pickup retired fabric sample books from my local upholstery shop.  Nothing like taking trash and making it a treasure! 


IMG_3843web I cut two pieces of contrasting fabric in each die and then ran it through my sewing machine.  I stitch a loose square and then pull the ends of the threads to gather the fabric up for a nice three dimensional fabric flower.  Aren’t they pretty!  I finished off the centers with a glittery brad from Creative Impressions.  I dipped these into Creamy Brown chalk ink which grabbed the glittered surface and softened the white color to match my color scheme.


Next, I stamped my sentiment from Autumn Leaves in a first and second generation ink to get that nice dimensional shadow.  This technique is when you stamp your image once, and then move the stamp slightly away from the original image and stamp again without re-inking the stamp.


Then, I stitched my patterned cardstock, from Webster’s Pages, to my card base and inked around the eges with a lime green chalk ink that picks up the subtle color of the leaves in the patterned paper.


I assembled all of the pieces and added a couple of ribbons with the brown and green colors, which are tucked under my fabric flowers.


The second card I made uses the die in a more traditional way, with a twist!

For this card, I cut the largest flower shape using Goldenrod cardstock from Worldwin Treasures.  Then for the embossing portion, I nested the medium-sized flower inside of the largest flower and ran them both through to emboss one shape inside the other.


IMG_3848web


I then placed both dies over the shape and used them as a guide to create a stitched look with my white gel pen.


IMG_3849web


I cut and embossed the smallest flower using Light Racy Raspberry by Worldwin DoubleMates and placed a glitter brad from Creative Impressions in white to the center of the layered flower to attach the flower to my card base.


A bit of stitched ribbon and a rubon sentiment adorn the bottom edge of the finished card.


Have you enjoyed the sneak peeks so far?  The new dies are expected to ship in August.  Woo Hoo!

Worked on Queen Charlotte sketch during my lunch b Worked on Queen Charlotte sketch during my lunch break. I'll have to build up some courage to paint this one tonight. I could do several studies just on that marvelous hairpiece. I love @stabilo point 88 fineliners for this stage. No. 88/89 has an almost Quin / Nickel Azo Gold to it when you watercolor, as the line is water soluble. I use the others for placement of fine detail, close to the final hue of the watercolor paint I will use. Ages ago I used water soluble graphite, but it makes things quite muddy, especially when working with such contrasts. The actor, @goldarosheuvel, has such a wry set of her lips and a look of discernment. I feel like the Queen is already judging me.. I hope I can capture it in this study.

Lady Danbury from a small watercolor sketch in my Lady Danbury from a small watercolor sketch in my 4x6 sketchbook. I'm working on a Women of Bridgerton series. @adjoa.andoh is so much more beautiful than I was able to portray tonight. I loved her strong, independent and fiercely loyal portrayal of Lady Danbury. A few more studies to get under the belt before I move on to the larger piece.

New Year. New Goals. In just the last month I have New Year. New Goals. In just the last month I have had many things come through and others disappointingly fall flat. But in the end pitching my ideas it is like cooking: I may do every step just right and know exactly how to do it; and still the dough doesn't rise, or the whipped cream doesn't reach its peak. Does that mean I stop trying altogether?
.
TBH, when you put your heart into something and it doesn't work out - it's ok to pout, get mad, even have a little stress down. But better things are always on the horizon. I recently wrote a proposal that went nowhere. But meanwhile I proposed something else that took off in ways I could only dream of.
.
I just want to encourage you to keep on swinging for the bleachers.  Your unique gifts have you on somebody's short list and you won't even know until you try, again. And again. A phone call. A text. A Zoom meeting. An email.
.
I believe in you, dreamer.

Chocolate Mousse is sometimes the best answer I ca Chocolate Mousse is sometimes the best answer I can give as comfort to my family.. What a week!

16 years ago @goldenpaints told us that #Quinacrid 16 years ago @goldenpaints told us that #QuinacridoneGold was discontinued because the pigment was simply no longer to be found. And here we are with this lovely favorite, #quinacridonenickelazogold (shown in OPEN); and I laugh to think that I love it even more than the original!! What about you? It's a silly thing - but it just reminds me that things can turn out fine even when they seem less so at the time. <3

From Just Paint newsletter, December, 2004.
"First the bad news: We have been forced to discontinue our most venerable color, a color we introduced to the marketplace, and one that soon became our signature color – Quinacridone Gold. The pigment manufacturer will no longer support the required pigment, and despite an exhaustive search, there is simply no other source to be found. 
.
Now the good news: Through a vigilant effort, the GOLDEN Lab, led by fearless director Jim Hayes, has created a well-matched solution to the original Quinacridone Gold. By blending a Quinacridone Gold Red Shade with Nickel Azo, the new blend called Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold achieves the wonderful characteristics of the original Quinacridone Gold, including a warm yellow-gold quality in the undertone as well as a tight tint. Golden Artist Colors, Inc. is excited about the new formula and we hope you too will delight in its rich qualities."
