Scene Builder

 Hi Everyone. Thanks for stopping by today. If you are a regular visitor to DRS Designs, then you have seen some beautiful scenes created using the new 2 in 1 scene builders (045P and 087P). These new images make it so easy to create scenes. And you can make them as complicated or as simple as you wish.

For this card I started with water color paper and stamped both images with Archival Black and Memento Bamboo inks. I used Nuvo Aqua Flow pens and water color pencils to color in the areas and then added the panel to a black card base. I used the same black CS for the greeting. This was super easy to create.

This next card uses the same 2 in 1 scene builder images. I wanted to add the cabin to this scene, so I first stamped it with Archival black ink and colored it with Copics, then I used a mask to cover the cabin and stamped the mountain and tree 2 in 1 scene images (045P) along with the fence line from the river rocks and fenceline 2 in 1 scene builder (087P). Once again I used Archival Black and Memento Bamboo inks to stamp the images and colored them with Nuvo Aqua Flow pens and colored pencils. Once everything dried I stamped the sending you happy thoughts greeting and attached the die cut panel to a white card base.

You can check out all the new images here.

Lazy Scarecrow

 Hello Everyone. Hope you had a wonderful weekend, I have a couple of cards today that feature the new Laid out Scarecrow (o24G) I think he looks like a lazy scarecrow. You know laying down on the job, not standing up on that pole trying to keep the crows and birds away from the crops. Anyway, he is adorable and there are no crops on my card, so I guess he's allowed to be laid out and relaxing!

I started by stamping the sign post and then masking it off, stamped the Happy Fall greeting, the fence from the 2 in 1 scene builder (087P) and the easy grass background. While the mask was still in place I sponged on some green ink for the ground and some blue ink for the sky. The new laid out scarecrow (024G) and pumpkins were stamped onto white CS, colored with Copics and fussy cut. After adding the scarecrow and pumpkins onto the panel it was attached to the white card base. This little scene just makes me long for fall and cooler weather!

This next card is very similar, I used the same fence (087P) and greeting, but this time I have my scarecrow (024G) with a bucket of sunflowers (062F). I cut a strip of kraft CS and stamped it with the splatter background image using Vintage Photo ink. For the grassy area I used green CS and then stamped the grass in a darker green ink. I used my Misti to line up the fence and so I could stamp it multiple times to get a good crisp image. The scarecrow and bucket of sunflowers were stamped onto white CS, colored with Copics and fussy cut. Some Nuvo Crystal glaze was added to the centers of the sunflowers.

I think I will be making another card using these same images and design, but this time I'll stamp Happy Birthday on the banner. I have a few friends who have fall birthdays and I think they'd like this.

Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to stop by the on line store and check out all the new amazing images.

Our Changing World

Happy Labor Day to my fellow Americans. Hope you are able to relax and enjoy this holiday in spite of Covid 19. DRS Designs has just released a new greeting (066H) that I think is perfect for Thanksgiving 2020! Part of it is on the front of this card and the rest is of course inside.
For the outside I die cut the rectangle and window using some MFT dies, then I stamped the partial greeting (066H) centered at the bottom. The pumpkin pile was stamped onto white CS, colored with Copics, fussy cut and glued onto the front so that some of the pumpkins are inside the window and some are over lapping it.

On the inside I stamped the rest of the greeting (066H) and the same pumpkins, only this time I stamped them in orange distress ink and did not color them in.

Here's another card I created using this new greeting (066H). This time the entire greeting is stamped on the inside with some small pumpkins stamped and colored for accent. I used the woven plaid background image with orange and green distress oxide inks to create the plaid background for my image. The woven plaid image is the easiest to stamp and always looks amazing to me.

Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to check out this new greeting and all the other new images from DRS Designs here.

The beauty of Autumn...

 Happy Monday! Trust you had a great weekend! I have another slim line card to share with you today. I saw something on Pinterest (I think) and was inspired to create this coffee cup card. I also recently found Pumpkin Spice Almond Milk Creamer!! So I'm enjoying my coffee even more than usual.

I stamped the coffee cup with Memento Black ink onto various shades of oranges, green and yellow CS, fussy cut and sponged some DO ink along the edges. I also stamped the cup again onto cream CS along with the lids. These too were sponged with DO inks and then glued together. I had some watercolor paper that had been colored with DO inks in fall colors. The leaves were die cut from that paper and glued onto the cups. The beauty of Autumn greeting was stamped onto the same cream CS, die cut and sponged with the same DO ink, Everything was added to the cream CS, then the orange layer and the cream CS.

Here's a look at the inside.

I added another coffee cup to the inside along with the Goodbye Summer greeting,

This card makes me happy and now I want to invite some friends to go out for coffee. But with this pandemic still happening, I'll have to wait a bit longer. Hope you are all staying safe and healthy!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Trick or Treat

Hi Everyone. Hope you are doing well and staying healthy. Can you believe it is this far into August already?! Where has the time gone. You'd think with the pandemic time would feel like it was barely passing by.

I have a couple more Halloween cards to share with you today. This first one features Count Porkula, my absolute favorite Halloween image from DRS Designs. I think he is just adorable!

I made a little scene for Count Porkula using the new Halloween Silhouette Tree, the grave yard border image and the single gravestone image. I stamped the graveyard border and silhouette tree images with Versafine Black ink and heat embossed them with clear EP, then I sponged on the ground and sky using various DO inks. The greeting was stamped onto white CS, heat embossed and die cut to look like a full moon. The small flying ghost was stamped onto Vellum and heat embossed with white EP, fussy cut and glued behind the moon. Count Porkula was stamped with Memento black ink onto white CS, colored with Copics, fussy cut and glued into the scene.

My next card is very similar to my first card. I again created a scene using the Silhouette Halloween Tree image, but this time I paired with the grim reaper image.

This time I sponged on the ground and sky first, then stamped and heat embossed the tree and grim reaper images.  I added the accent bats in the corner, colored in the sickle and reaper's hand with some watercolor paints and then stamped, die cut and added the greeting with some foam adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by today. You can see all the new and older Halloween images here.
