Thanks a bunch

Hi everyone,

I have a card to share today using watercolours and some added splatters. Simon Says Stamp has a current Flickr challenge where the theme is 'Split, Splat, Spatter'. This card is perfect for that.

I started by creating a watercolour background and using the Clustered Leaves die from Simon Says Stamp to cut out the leaves and then added some splatters using different colours of ink.

I die cut a frame with some turquoise cardstock and then adhered the leaves directly to my card base and then foam mounted the frame over top. The sentiment from Clearly Besotted was stamped with some turquoise ink and then I added several rainbow coloured rhinestones from HAI.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp Clustered Leaves die

Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Stackables die set

Clearly Besotted Miniature Floral Collection stamp set

HAI rainbow rhinestones

Our prayers

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I created using some watercolour to create a background for this large stamp from Impression Obsession with an inlaid die sentiment. Entering this in the Simon Says Stamp IG challenge for July where the theme is 'Watercolor'. I like to see the different colours poking out from behind the trees

I started by applying different colours of Tombow markers to a craft mat and then spritzing with water and using a smooshing technique to add the colour to a piece of white card stock. I sometimes forget how wonderful Tombow markers are for watercolouring. The results are beautiful.

Once this was dry I stamped the large background image to my piece. I die cut the word prayers first from black and then from white cardstock. At first I was going to add the word in black but it seemed to get lost in the background so I added the white die cut piece so that it would stand out more.  The whole panel was applied to my card base with foam tape so that I could do an inlaid die technique for adding my die cut sentiment. I stamped the smaller word sentiments on black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Well that completes my card and thanks so much for stopping by. 

Supplies:

Hi everyone,

Well it's been awhile since my last post. We were away on a little mini vacation and I guess life just happened. Maybe I haven't felt very creative lately. Hopefully that changes soon.

Anyways today's card is for the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday "Anything Goes" theme and also for their current Flickr challenge where the theme is "Crazy for Coloring"

I recently won the Peonies in Bloom stamp set from Mama Elephant so that is what I used on my card. I stamped the flower and white embossed. I coloured the image with Copic markers and added some white accents with a Gelly Roll pen.

I die cut a white panel with a stitched rectangle die and then masked off a couple of strips and blended some Distress Oxide Twisted Citron ink.

The die sentiment was die cut with a piece of black cardstock and the rest of the sentiment was stamped with Versafine black ink.

I added some Studio Katia buttercream jewels and that finished off my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
