Distress Oxide Water Painting with W Plus 9 Beatiful Bouquets: Dahlias

Hello!

 Today I have a Mothers Day card I made using a technique from  Jennifer McGuire and the floral and color inspiration from  Gina K. 

I just loved the colors and placement Gina used in that video and had to use Jennifers technique with the Oxides to color it.

I used the W plus 9 Beautiful Bouquets: Dahlias to stamp the images with Vesamark and heat emboss with white embossing powder. 

I ink blended the images and background with Lucky Clover, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. 

I  went over the flowers and leaves with clear water and dabbed up with a paper towel to get a lighter look. I dried the piece and added just a tad more green to the leaves while still applying and dabbing. 

The sentiment on outside comes from the SSS All My Love set and heat embossed onto some vellum. 

I added some sequins to give some shine and also placed a tad bit of glitter glue to the centers to add some extra sparkle and make a bit stronger to go through the mail. 

The inner sentiment is using the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy stamp set. I used the same flower to stamp inside using the Peacock Feathers Ink. 

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

Guest Star Stamper for Color Throwdown #493

Hey Guys!

I am super excited to be sharing the card I made for being the Guest Star Stamper after

 being chosen in the CTD#491 challenge!

I was so happy when I saw the colors for this week weeks challenge CTD#493. 

They are my fave color combos....Aqua, Lime and White

I white heat embossed the Simon Says Stamp Center Cut Flowers Stamp onto some watercolor paper. 

I used Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers 

to water color in the flower and leaves. 

I wanted to make the flowers pop so I added a bit of Hickory Smoke onto the background. 

I cut the piece out using the MFT Blueprints 13 Die-Namics. 

The Thanks sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Big Thanks Die. 

I cut the shadow from vellum and the word from Neenah Metallic card stock in white gold. 

I had to add some sparkle with the Studio Katia Sparkling Crystals. 

I used the center part of the stamp to ink the inside of the card using

 Simon Says Stamp Fog ink. 

Thank you so very much for visiting and I hope to see you next week for the next challenge!

Valentines Cards using Lawn Fawn Sweet Friends stamp set

Today I have 12 cards that I made using the Lawn Fawn Sweet Friends stamp set. 

I wanted to make some Galentines cards for the ladies in my life. 

I watched a video by Nichol Spohr and I just thought it was so cute and 

had to use the idea for these valentines. 

I used some card stock in my stash and used Candied Apple and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide to stamp a plaid design using the MFT Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set.

I then used some doily hearts I got from the Silhouette Design store and 

created different sizes to add some layering.

Some of the cards have touches of glossy accents onto the berries or hearts. 

All of the images were colored using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and all of the sentiments are from the same Lawn Fawn Sweet Friends Stamp set. 

See you next time!
