Victoria Case Release Day at SCACD!

Hello Happy Crafters! So sorry I have been MIA for the past week and will explain in the next few days why. Today, I want to focus on this exciting release of not one but two fabulous releases:  "Street View" and  "Classic Retro Crew" collections designed by Victoria Case exclusively for SCACD Stamps!

This is a blog hop and you should have arrived here from Lori's Blog.

I am showcasing two images, one from each collection so make sure you scroll all the way down!!

Oh I had  tons of fun playing with "City Skyline!" I did everything from embossing it with white embossing powder on black paper and coloring with Twinkle H20 and placing a moon behind it with bats and could not get a good photo of it:( It kept looking blotchy and it was far from being blotchy! I also started another really cute card and will finish it at a later date! Then the light bulb really went off!! This idea brought a super big smile to my face!! Esp. since a good friend and I are friendly rivals when it comes to football!! She is on the DT so I am pretty confident she will see it!! Go Steelers!!


hehehehe!! 

 Now, I just hope I don't eat my words!!! KWIM?

The City Skyline,  one of four different images from the Street View Collection and can be used in so many different ways!   Colored with Copics: gold colors are the only ones I remember YR24, YR23 and Y15 and Y11 my favorite gold combination! The blue sky was done with a sponge and "Summer Sky"  Memento/Tsukineko Ink. Paper: stash. Sentiment: Computer generated.

My second card I used "Order Up Table 5"  from the Classic Retro Crew Collection! Another fun image to play with!




The Classic Retro Crew Collection has four different female images and one super nice bonus image if you buy the entire set!  


Both set can be purchased at SCACD and for our international friends and the UK you can purchase them at Quixotic Paperie! 

Copics: Skin: E11, E00, E000. Hair and skirt: C9  C7, C5, C3. Blouse and shake: RV02, RV00, RV000. Paper:stash. Ribbon: Olfry. Flower: Pink one is: Gillian/Rasberry - I love these flowers! You can't see all the sparkle in the photo:(

SCACD has all of your crafting needs including Memory Box Dies, 6 x 6 paper pads, gorgeous embossing folders and lots, lots more!  You really need to check the store out!

Next on the blog hop is my fabulous and talented DT sistah: Diane and I know you won't want to miss her blog with her awesome and spectacular creations!

  16. Both of the cards are so cute. Have to say the invite would say as you now I'm from Wisconsin SUPERBOWL HERE WE COME AGAIN! Go Packers!!! This is by fun. I do watch all the games. That is what happens when you raise all boys. Sorry about the snow. Several people on line are saying the snow is really bad. I'm sure glad we are not getting it, it is just a matter of time and we will be dumped it. Be safe and warm.
    Hugz, Pat
