Saturday April 1, 2023

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at

Our theme is
ANYTHING GOES  - WATERCOLORED / DIE CUTS


This is my card. I stamped the Stampin up images and using Prima watercolors painted the image and some of the background. I added the sentiment. It was left over from another project and I didn't care for it but thought perfect for this card. I don't know who the sentiment is by but the die is My favorite things.

I colored the pretty flowers with copics. I used Lil inker die and cut out and added to some DCWV designer paper. I kept a sentiment off the card as I don't send out Easter cards. so this is more of the Anything goes theme vs. Easter. I went over the flowers with Spectrum Noir sparkle brush and added some left over Diamond painting drills. I added some dots to the vase with gold and white gel pen.

Just looking through my stamps this is the first thing I saw that worked .. I know there are others but this was what I chose.. fish for Pisces..  The stamp set is from Petaluma.. I stamped the fish twice and using copics I kinda made water streams of light..  added some color to the fish with copics. I found this pretty DCWV designer paper.. so added that and cut the image out with Lil inker die. I added the sentiment and used some Quick quote chalk ink to distress the edges. I finished with some left over diamond drills. I added a little spectrum noir to the water and parts of the fish.

Our theme is
SPRING COLORS

Another card using Stampin up products.. I started using a block and smushing colors that pleased me and made me think of spring.. the flower, sun, grass, weeds.. lol.. and then using various stamps did the images. I backed onto a piece of black card stock then the yellow card base.. very easy card to create and using an acrylic block as your stamp with the colors smooshed on it really is easy and nice. get crisp side lines.

Thursday March 9, 2023

Hello

Well we have a new challenge over at

I am the host for his challenge so I chose
VELLUM.. let's see some creative ways to use vellum

I am always stumped with using vellum so that is why I chose this for the theme. I hate when the adhesive shows and so for todays card I stamped the "There she goes " sentiment on the vellum with stazon ink. I then took some scraps of Stampin up designer paper and cut the frame . Then using the larger die  I cut out the sentiment piece. I adhered the vellum to the frame. I adhered down the center that came out of the frame and then added the vellum/frame piece. I took some Paper trey ink flower dies and die cut some vellum flowers. I took a Stampin up punch and created some more flowers out of scraps. I used Quick quote ink and distressed and layered the flowers. I added the SU leaf swirl and flowers. I finished with some left over diamond painting drills to the flower centers. I like that no adhesive is showing..
