Another Mother's day card

Thursday April 11, 2019

 

Ok I think I need to get another Mother's day stamp.. Obviously this is the only one I have cause I keep using it and only one I can find in my stash of stamps..

I got in my March stamp of the month from Tech. Tuesday this awesome flower and couldn't wait to use it so I stamped it twice on water color paper and used Altenew paints. I was afraid to use water colors for the background so I used Ranger ink and went around the edge with blending sponge. I stamped the Simon Says sentiment and also went around the edges with the same ink. I finished with a little Nuvo glitter pen and sequins. I think next time I will re-stamp the image after the paint dries. I already removed the stamp from my Misti and I didn't think I could align it back up after all my hard work to paint it, it wasn't worth the risk.. I like sharper lines.

Yup.. I did another Easter card.. who couldn't with this fun sweet image..

I am using the fun image called "Bunnita shopping" by Polkadoodles.  I colored the image with copics and added my cloud template using Ranger ink. I used Lil inker stitch die. I needed to add the sentiment so I made a sign post with copics and just cut it out with scissors and added the Simon Says sentiment. I went over a few of the images with Nuvo glitter pen.  I found some designer paper so used that for the background.  I hope you play along and you have two weeks to get your card added.

Hello. Today over at Catch the bug is ABC..

ANYTHING BUT a CARD

 

 

I made another tag.. I started with using the Stack books and added the Coffee time image. I added this piece to a tag and cut off the excess. I added brown washi tape at the top and I had a scrap of the green/yellow print so added this. Then  I colored the image with copics. I added a little Wink of Stella to the coffee and parts of the books.

Birthday wishes - Always Fun Challenge #105

Monday April 8, 2019

 

Welcome to another challenge at Always Fun Challenge#105

Our theme this week is FLOWERS 

  

 I love digging out my Mission gold paints and trying to create. So for this card I took Simon says flowers and stamped three on water color paper. I colored with the Mission paints and fussy cut them out. I went around the edges with a black pen. I used Birch press stamp and scrap paper and die cut the leaves.  For the background I took another piece of water color paper and created the background. It needed something more so I took Tambi gold paint and did splatter and then ran the brush around the outer edge of the paper. I then added some dots to the centers of the flowers to tie it all together. I finished adding some sequins and stamped the sentiment.  I made sure all was dry this time so it didn't run like my April 1st card.  learned that lesson.. well at least for now.

Look whoo is having a birthday

Sunday April 7, 2019

 

 

 I used some 7 Gypsies designer paper and Tim Holtz crazy bird. I water colored the bird. I used Simon Says circle die for the background behind the bird. I added a heat embossed Tech. Tues. sentiment. I think this would make a great masculine card.

I know... I don't make Easter/give Easter cards and I have been making a lot.. I hope to sell them so that is a plus.. I do love the fun colors and darling critters.. So someone will enjoy them for Easter. 

I am using the image called Easter bunny eggs.. I colored the image with copics. I used my cloud template.  I then used My favorite things circle die. I then made a template using a larger circle and placing it on my card and added a stencil on top I used Ranger ink and created the ring around the image cut. I used Close to my heart sentiment and then added the bunny circle to the card. I went over the eggs and bow with Nuvo sparkle pen.
