Mixed Media Day - Green Team 14-23


June 10-June 16
Weekly Challenge - Word Bubbles

This week word bubbles are what it's all about over at Cuttin' and Stampin'
We are using  Basic Gray Capture collection and Jillibean Soup Word Bubble stamp set both of which you can find at the Cuttin' and Stampin' facebook store
Michele from Stuff By Belle here today and I am sharing three, yes three cards today...I just couldn't stop. :)

All three use white Bazzill Basic cardstock and word bubbles stamped in archival ink and heat embossed with high-gloss embossing powder.


This card has a layer of the Basic Gray Capture which brings out the bright colors in all of the Color Shine mist used to splatter.  Finished off with some various sequins.


This card has a layer of the Basic Gray Capture and the same paper was used to cut some stars, Tattered Angels Glimmer mist, UmWow Studios star confetti covered in stickles.


And this last card has a background of hexagons colored with watercolor pencils, I used the UmWow Studios hexagon mask to do this.  The twine is Jillibean Soup.

For more details on these cards please pop over to my blog.

You still have a couple of days to get your Word Bubble project linked up on our challenge blog.  
 I can't wait to see what you create!

Until next time...get inky often!

Step-By-Step Wednesday - Green Team 14-23 - Word Bubbles

I don't know if you have been taken over by this trend of word bubble or not, but the Cuttin' and Stampin' Design Team sure has.  Every which way we turn there's more and more great products using the bubbles.  So we decided we needed to make a challenge out of it.  
This week we are using Basic Grey Capture paper collection and the Jillibean Soup Word Bubbles stamp set.  Both items are on sale in the Cuttin' and Stampin' Amazon store.



I absolutely loved working with both of these items!!  I created a birthday card based on a 2013 sketch from MFTStamps.  The sketch is below.  I love working with sketches, it gives me a jumping off point!


Here is my finished product!  It's one of my new favorites!  I see many more versions of this in my future! 


It all started with the word bubble stamps, hello and smile.  I used some scrap kraft paper and my memento ink pad.


I then loaded it up with Glossy Accents!  Love this stuff!  Made my own epoxy stickers!


The only problem I have with this is my lack of patience!  I ended up touching them too soon and had to shake out some finger prints! These take a bit of time to dry! During my down time, I stamped a background pattern on a plain piece of cardstock.  


My lines aren't that straight, but no one will ever guess it!

After my word bubbles were dry, I fussy cut them out and used some pop dots to place the on the card.


Again my only word of advice with Glossy Accents is be patient!  LET IT DRY!  I have a very bad habit of "checking" it to see if it's dry, then end up with a finger print!!  I usually have to walk away and forget about it for a while!  That's my only hope!


Here is the sketch I promised earlier!
