Floral images and a great sentiment are my weakness! I love combining different stamp sets, to make my vision come to life. It also serves as a great opportunity to try different mediums and techniques. For this simple card cover, I used the Chin Up Buttercup stamp set from Ink Road Stamps paired with one of the floral images from the Poppy stamp set from Stampendous. I wanted to create levels of color, using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and my distress inks. I stamped my floral image over Tim Holtz distress watercolor paper, and colored it using various shades of pink, yellow and green distress inks. Once it was dry, I was able to fussy cut it and proceeded to create my background. I created the effect of broad brush stories by using the broad tip aide of my Spectrum markers, going from lightest pink, to darkest pink. At the bottom right corner, I stamped my chin up Buttercup sentiment and added a few details using the mini flowers included in that set. I adhered my large ...

Hello everyone and Happy Monday! I love celebrating birthdays and special occasions. It's always fun to be able to create something unique and from the heart, for a special someone. Today I'm sharing a quick card I created uaing this month's Spellbinders Small Die of The Month Kit and a sentiment from last year's June Kit. It may be called small, in no way does it refer to the amount of love put in this kit. For the month June, you get a adorable cupcake die set, with a candles and flower detail, perfect for creating handmade birthday love! I used one of the glitter paper packs from Die Cuts With A View and a American Crafts birthday paper pad, to cut all my images. Creating this cover to celebrate my nieces birthday , I used one of the sentiments from last year's kit, that appropriately says "Let's Celebrate". I adhered all my components over a standard A2 size card (4.25x5.50) and finished it off with some colorful Nuvo Crystal drops! These die ...

Hello everyone and welcome to another Card Making share! Inspired by this week's Color Throwdown Challenge colors (coral, teal, green and yellow) I created this card using a beautiful poppy stamp set from Stampendous. This floral stamp set is perfect for layered effects. I decided to heat emboss some white opaque embossing powder from Ranger Inc, on Canson Mixed Media paper. Once it was cool, I colored the images using Arteza clean brush markers, to create a watercolor effect. I love being able to get messy, and laying down my colors without worrying about transfer or bleeding. That's why heat embossing works so well. It's a carefree approach to watercoloring that's always a hit! I allowed my paper to dry, while I cut the "mom" die set from Simon Says Stamp using coral and teal colored cardstock, to continue with the theme of the challenge. I fussy cut all my images, and used dimensional glue dots to adhere them to my card cover. Added a few Nuvo Crystal D...

Hello everyone and Happy Friday! Today's card was inspired by this adorable stamp set from Newton's Nook, that has a fun play on the "April showers, bring May flowers" sentiment. I wanted to create a colorful background, so I used my cloud border stencil, and distress inks, to add a soft sunrising effect to my cover. I had in my stash a die set from Peachy Cheap that I acquired a while back, and it has this adorable person holding an umbrella and wearing rain boots. Using the same smooth white cardstock I used for my background, I cut the piece using my Spellbinders Platinum 6 Machine. Added a bit of color to my image my using the same distress inks as my background. I wanted to add a simple ground where my person could stand on , and I created the look of grass by using three different shades of green of my Copic markers. Using a flick motion along the bottom of my cover. I stamped my sentiment, and adhered my die cut, added some enamel accents and done! For th...

Hello everyone! I've been a little M.I.A , but I'm back with this card I created, using the Floral Mandala background stamp from Hero Arts. Also wanted to use this opportunity to showcase some of the colors included in the Galaxy Color Burst set, and how to use these watercolor powders. I began my card by applying some anti-static powder over my Canson Mixed Media paper and then stamped the  Floral Mandala image  with some Versa Mark Clear Ink. I used my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to make sure I have a crisp, full image. For my embossed detail, I used Lawn Fawn Rose Gold Embossing powder, and melted it down with my brand new Wagner heat gun. This tool is amazing and worth every penny. It's so quick to melt my embossing powder, and that means less warping of my paper. Once everything was cool, I was able to use three of the Color Busrt colors in the set; Solar Flare, Jupiter and Terrestrial. By gently tapping the bottom of my bottles (once they're upside down), I get e...
