Color Throwdown #455 using Altenew Halftone Circles

Happy Thursday!

I have my submission for this weeks Color Throwdown Challenge #455.

The colors this week are white, aqua, light pink and lavender. 

I used Distress Oxide Inks in Broken China, Wilted Violet and Worn Lipstick to stamp the circles form the Altenew Halftones Circle stamp set. 

The sentiment is from the MFT You Trio Din-namics set and the the All About You stamp set.. I used the wink of stella pen to add some glitter and then coated in Glossy Accents. 

Thank you for coming by!

See you next time!

Color Throw down #451 using Altenew Cube Builder

Happy Wednesday! 

Today's Color Throwdown Challenge had some bright summery colors

 of pink, dark pink, green and white.

I had gotten in my order of the new Distress Oxide Inks and I just had to play. 

I also ordered the Altenew Cube Builder Set and knew I had to combine the two. 

I used Candued Apple and Worn Lipstick for the pinks. I just couldn't find a good green. Lucky Clover was too green  and Peeled Paint was too yellowy so instead i first put down the Lucky Clover and went on top with the Peeled Paint. I loved how it turned out.



This stencil was just so fun to use and the result is just incredible!

After the stenciling was done I spritzed with some shimmer spray and water to get some oxidation and sparkle happening,

I used the Hooray Stamp set by Honey Bee Stamps and the coordinating Hooray Honey cut. The Happy birthday was from the same stamp set and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I just couldn't leave well enough alone and had to add some sequins to it.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I may be doing a challenge submission next week but I am going on vacation so I shall see how my jet lag is when I come back!

MFT Sushi Date Birthday Card

Hey Guys!

I just loved the March release from My Favorite Things. Pandas.....love, Sushi.....love, put them together....Uber Love!

This card was fun to make because gave me a chance to do a lot of coloring with my Spectrum Noir markers. I still need some practice but I am happy with the outcome.

I literally stamped, die cut and colored every image from the stamp set. 

I ink blended the background with worn lipstick Distress Oxide ink and then splattered with water to get the splotchy effect. I attached the lantern to the bamboo with some light grey embroidery floss so that it looked like it was hanging.

The sentiment is from the stamp set and I heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder onto some black card stock.

I used the remaining images on the inside and stamped the Happy Birthday from the MFT Essential Sentiments stamp set in Versafine Black Ink.

See you next time!!

Neat and Tangled Topography Going Away Card

Welcome back!

Today I have a card using this awesome Neat and Tangled Topography Stamp set.
I just love that background set and adds so much interest and perfect for the going away card I made.

I first stamped the background in Versamark and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.
I then ink blended it with Distress Oxides in Worn Lipstick and sprinkled water.

I used my W Plus 9 stitched rectangle dies for the center part and stamped a sentiment from the stamp set in Versafine Ink. I accented with some Nuvo Jewel Drops.

A very simple card but really accenting that wonderful background stamp!

Thank you for visiting and have a awesome day!

Happy Birthday Galaxy Card using Distress Oxide Blending

Today I have a fun colorful card for you!

I made this card for my Father in Law's birthday. 

I am a sucker for galaxy anything and I wanted to play with the Distress Oxides and make a galaxy background.

These inks just blend so nice and made the background so easy to put together.
I used Worn Lipstick, Broken China, Wilted Violet and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks and then I used Black Soot Distress Ink along the outside.

I then spritzed water to it to give the faded out spots and then flicked some cheap-o white acrylic paint to create the stars.

I made this a while ago but I'm 99% sure the sentiment is one I got from the Silhouette Design store. After I cut it I put some Wink of Stella Glitter Brush pen to it. I smoothed versa mark onto it and then coated in Recollections Clear Embossing Powder to make it shiny. 

I made a matching envelope for it and of course used a Star Trek stamp to mail it off!

Do you love a galaxy look as much as I do?

Thank you for stopping by!
See you next time!

Thank you card with Distress Oxide Resist Background and Alltenew Halftone Circles Stamp Set and Die

Hey Everyone!

I just love this Altenew Halftone Circles Stamp Set. They are so simple but man look stunning with a distress background. It almost reminds me of those bokeh spots. 

I stamped the circles using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and 

heat embossed using some clear embossing powder.  

I ink blended the background using Distress Oxide in Wilted Violet and Worn Lipstick. 

I then flicked water onto it to get then fun water spots and to get it to start oxidizing. 

I stamped the sentiment with the same Versafine black ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out. 

I used some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Rosewater and Pale Periwinkle and put the purple in the pink area and the pink drops into the purple area. 

I made this card for a friend of mine and she loves purple so I placed the thanks in the pink section to leave the purple be the stand out. 

Thank you for visiting!
See you next time,
