Mother's Day Card using Silhouette Cameo

Happy Wednesday !

I have such an adorable card to show you today!

It is the Flower Bundle Mother's Day Card by Lori Whitlock.

I got mine from the Silhouette Design Store. 

I cut it all out of white card stock and ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks.

Distress Oxides:

Squeezed Lemonade

Cracked Pistachio

Peacock Feathers

Abandoned Coral

Picked Raspberry 

Tattered Rose

I also used a Silhouette Sketch Pen in Silver for the sentiment. 

It was my first time using one and will definitely not be the last. 

After assembling I added Wink of Stella Glitter brush pen to the 

flower centers and the sentiment circle.

Thank you so much for stopping by and 

I hope you have a fantastic Mother's Day Weekend!

Valentines Card using Avery Elle Lava You Stamp Set

Happy Wednesday!

Are you ready for Valentines Day?

I don't ask for flowers or anything but...since I make cards I do ask that he just get that since of course I will be making him one.  Only fair right?

We love Hawaii and went to Maui on our honeymoon. 

When I saw this Lava You stamp set by Avery Elle I had to get it. 

I started off by stamping the volcano onto some Bristol Smooth paper. I wanted the explosive hearts to be a bigger spray so I just wiped the ink of the volcano part and stamped again. I added in some extra hearts to make fuller. 

I used Distress Inks to water color everything in. 

The background uses Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass. 

The volcano was Brushed Corduroy with Ground Espresso and Candied Apple for the Lava with a little more Brushed Corduroy to darken up.

The hearts were colored with Candied Apple, Abandoned Coral and Worn Lipstick.

 I used the MFT Blueprints Die-namics 13 rectangle die to cut the panel out.

 I popped it onto a card base that I inked with Candied Apple and distressed with water. 

The final touch was adding Glossy Accents onto all the hearts to make them shine!

Thank you so very much for checking this card out and

 I hope you have a fantastic Valentines Day!

Valentines Day card Using SSS More Spring Flowers stamp set

Happy Monday!!

Today I am showing the "Galentines" Day Card for my awesome Mother in Law. To be honest I hate the term MIL cause...she's more than that...she is just my Mom.

I tried looking through my You Tube history and just couldn't find the video I watched to give credit. 

I saw someone do a technique of using Distress ink on a background and then place a stencil over it to then distress more of the same color over it to create a tone on tone look. 

I just had to recreate it my way. 

I used the following inks from the top to bottom.

Distress Inks:

Candied Apple

Worn Lipstick

Abandoned Coral

Spun Sugar

The stencil I used is the SSS Diamond Circles Stencil. 

The flowers are from the SSS More Spring Flowers stamp set. I heat embossed the images with white embossing powder and watercolored with the same distress inks. 

I created the sentiment in the Silhouette Studio software and inked up with the Candied Apple Distress Ink. 

I couldn't leave well enough alone and also added some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Grey Mist which really just accents the color underneath. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope to see you next time!

Color Throwdown Challenge #446 using the MFT Sketchy Flowers Card Kit

Happy Wednesday!

Today I have my submission for The Color Throwdown Challenge #446.

The colors for this week are Green, Yellow and Coral.

I have been playing with the My Favorite Things Sketchy Flowers Card Kit a bunch lately and just had to use it for this challenge.

I watercolored the flowers with Abandoned Coral, Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio and Mustard Seed Distress Inks. 

I also used Black Soot Distress Ink to do the splatter.

I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and popped up a couple with some foam squares.

The sentiment banner, sentiment and You is also from the card kit. 

The wood pattern paper is from a Joannes. It is from ms. sparkle & co. wood paper pad. It is a great pad and only $1.99!

I also used a white gel pen to add some dots to the flowers centers. 

You can't tell in the pics but I used a Wink of Stella  glitter pen on the flowers and the YOU. 

Thank you so much for coming by and I will see you next week!

Final Plaid Valentine's Day Card using the My Favorite Things Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set

I told you there were three of them. :-)

I really had fun with this background using some non traditional Valentine's colors. 

That bit of teal is just great.

 

I again used Distress Inks for the stamping. I used Abandoned Coral, Spun Sugar and Peacock Feathers. I cut it out using that MFT Die-namics Stitched Rectangle Scallop Edge Frames Die set but I did not use as just a frame. 

Since it was so simple I just felt it needed something so I flicked on some white acrylic paint mixed with water onto it and added a few clear sequins. 

I used the same sentiment from the Silhouette Design store but I didn't have card stock to match so instead I smoothed the abandoned coral pad onto the sentiment and then covered in Versamark and used clear embossing powder to make it all looking sleek.

  I then popped it all on a white card base. 

I hope you enjoyed this card and I will see you next time!!
