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!

Simon Says Stamp Emma Background and Distress Watercoloring

Happy Wednesday! 

Today I am sharing my first ever attempt at a Color Throwdown Challenge. 

I am in Mother's Day card mode so of course that is what I made today. 

The colors for this weeks Color Throwdown #441 are
 pale purple, aqua and light pink. 

I used Versamark to stamp the Simon Says Stamp Emma Background Stamp and heat embossed with Ranger white embossing powder onto some  Bristol Smooth cardstock. 

I then watercolred it with Distress Inks. I used Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar and Milled Lavender. 

The sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy stamp set.  

I again heat embossed in white and water colored with the same Distress inks and popped up with some foam tape onto the background after matting everything in black to make it all pop! 

Thank you for stopping by and I will see you next time!
