Color Throwdown #492 using MFT Bold Blossoms

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are having a lovely Mother's Day!

Today I have my submission to the Color Throwdown Challenge #492

I was at first like what am I gonna make with these colors but then I decided to go out of my box and still do a floral with unconventional colors for the leaves. 

I wanted to use a technique that Amy R did on her YouTube channel of Faux Watercoloring.

She had stamped out the images and then sprayed water to get them to bleed.

Guess what I learned.... Memento Dye Inks hardly bleed. 

Memento Inks Used:

Lady Bug

London Fog

Dandelion

I am pretty new to non Distress Ink using so totally didn't know that. Lol

What happened when I did the water was that it did soften the images and I know will sound weird but it gave it a suede-y like look that I just loved!

The sentiment is from the Concord and 9th Here's the Scoop stamp set and I heat embossed it onto vellum with Ranger Watering Can embossing Powder 

The card base came from the May SSS card kit. I actually cut the base just a bit on two sides to be able to use to hold down that vellum piece. 

I finished the card off by stamping some of the images on the inside with SSS Fog ink. 

Thank you for visiting and I hope to see you on Wednesday 

for the next Challenge where I will be the Guest Star Stamper! Eeeeeekkkkk!

Have a great day!

Color Throwdown Challenge #490 using SSS Everything Together Stamp Set.

Hope you are having a great Sunday. 

Today I am posting my submission for the Color Throwdown Challenge #490.

The colors this week are pink, green, lavender and light gray.

I had fun creating this card because at first I was like what the heck am I gonna make since I rarely use light pastel type colors. 

I just got the SSS Everything Together stamp set and knew it would be perfect after I watched Nichol Spohr's video using the set. 

The stamp set is included in the May SSS Kind Heart card kit.  

I stamped the images with Memento inks in Angel Pink, New Sprout, London Fog and LuLu Lavender. 

I put the background onto some Neenah Metallic Card stock in Chalice Silver. 

I kept it really simple this week but really loved how it came out and gave me courage to use some pastels!

Have a great rest of your weekend and I will see you next time!

Christmas Card using Sunny Studios Holiday Style stamp set

Hello!
Last year when I was thinking about jumping into the world of stamping, I saw this Sunny Studios Holiday Style stamp set and was amazed at that bell. I thought just crazy how three different colors could create such a lifelike image. 

I am still lacking on inks so I used the Memento London Fog for the first two layers. Stamped once on the first then twice on second to make darker.

The pine was made using Memento Cottage Ivy in the same kind of way.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I heat embossed with some red embossing powder.

I die cut using the MFT Wonky stitched rectangle Die-namics and popped onto some plaid pattern paper from my stash. 

I of course had to use the ornaments for the inside. Im bad and forgot to write down the colors I used for the ornaments. My bad.

See you next time!
