Anita Jeram Conga Line by Colorado Craft Company

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! We’re halfway through the week so it’s time for a happy dance and who better to lead the Conga line than the adorable Anita Jeram critters. I’ve had this stamp on my list for awhile and finally got around to coloring it. I love an image that makes me smile whenever I look at it!

As always, I’ve linked the supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

I stamped the Conga Line image on a piece of Hammermill 100# Smooth Cardstock using Nuvo Hybrid Ink in Black Shadow. The image was colored with Copic markers (see list below). Afterwards, I added clear Wink of Stella Glitter to each of the hats. The sentiment was stamped using Versafine Clair in Nocturne. I sprinkled clear embossing powder over the ink and heat set it.

This is a large image so there’s not much more to the card layout. I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Says Cardstock in Fog to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and adhered it to my cardbase. I glued craft foam to the back of the image panel for dimension, but you can use foam tape if you prefer. I centered the image panel on the cardbase and that’s all she wrote!

Hope you enjoyed today’s project! See you again soon!

Ice Cream Kind of Day

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! It’s the first day of summer and here it Baltimore, it’s going to be hot and humid. We have a fabulous sno-ball stand at the end of my street and it’s going to be an ice cream kind of day. So to celebrate the first day of summer, I have TWO ice cream themed cards from Colorado Craft Company featuring images by Anita Jeram.

Today’s project features:

I’m still playing with my set of Zig Clean Color Brush Markers. I bought the set of twelve because it was available in my local Dick Blick art store, but as you know, I have full-set syndrome so I’ve been seriously tempted to buy a larger set. Going from 358 Copic markers to 12 Zig markers was quite an adjustment. But the reality is that my set of twelve has worked just fine and I recognize that at least for now, a bigger set is a want rather than a need.

I stamped the images on Strathmore 400 Series Watercolor Paper using Versafine in Onyx Black. I purchased the 5.5″ x 8.5″ pad because I can get two cards from each sheet without waste, but the paper comes in a variety of sizes. I colored the images using my Zig Clean Color Brushes (colors listed below) using a Zig Medium Water Brush. This is actually my favorite waterbrush, but it is getting harder to find so stock up if you find a source. Right now, the only place I can find them is on Amazon.

The Sunday Funday stamp set has its own sentiment, but it’s currently lost on my work table so I used the sentiment from Ice Cream Day set on both cards.

After I finished coloring the images, I used the Chunky A2 Rectangles die set from Simon Says Stamp to trim the watercolor paper. I used SSS Card Stock in Fog for the background. I like this particular color because it’s neutral and works with most of my cards.

That’s all for today! See you again soon.

Tiny Townie Garden Girl Daffodil by Stampingbella

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! I’m back today with something a little different. I pulled out my Polychromos colored pencils and a stamp from my stash to create a simple birthday card featuring Tiny Townie Garden Girl Daffodil by Stampingbella. As always, I’ve linked the supplies below with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Today’s project features:

Rowhouse Greetings | Tiny Townie Garden Girl Daffodil by Stampingbella

I stamped the image on a piece of Stonehenge Drawing Paper using Versafine Clare in Nocturne. Although I use white cardstock for Copic coloring, I prefer using colored drawing paper for colored pencil. I colored the image using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils (see list below). Once the coloring was complete, I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clare. I think the sentiment stamp is from Penny Black, but I can’t find it on their website so it might be retired.

That’s all for today! See you again soon!
