Autumn Floral using Gina K You Make Me Smile

Hello!

I have a Autumn Floral card today. 

I had some Distress Oxides left on my desk and made I background from it

I then stamped the Gina K You Make Me Smile in SSS Intense Black Ink since I will be using Alcohol Markers. 

Above are the Spectrum Noir Markers I used to color in the image. 

I then used the sentiment and scroll from the SSS Ornate Leaves stamp set and heat embossed with Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder.

I then used the LV2 marker to color the edges  of some card stock to make it match the flower images.  I used SSS Big Momma Foam Tape to mount onto that purple piece.

I used the same image and stamped on the inside with SSS Fog ink. 

Thank you so much for coming over and see you later!

Water Color Birthday Card using SSS Beautiful Flowers stamp set

Welcome Back!

Today I have a card I made for my boss's birthday.

I wanted something pretty and elegant for her.

I first embossed the SSS Beautiful Flowers stamp with Ranger Princess Gold
embossing powder onto watercolor paper.

I then watercolored with Distress Oxide Inks in Wilted Violet, Fossilized Amber and Forest Moss. I also used the Wilted Violet to splatter onto the background.

The sentiment strip is made using stamp from the MFT All About You stamp set and the You is from the MFT All About YOU die set.

I then used Wilted Violet ink to stamp same image on the envelope flap and then coated in clear embossing powder to seal in since on a slick style glittery envelope.

She loved the card which was a win for me!

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

Christmas Card using Avery Elle Retro Ornaments

Hello!

I have one last Christmas card for yo. I really wanted to use the Avery Elle Retro Ornaments Stamp set and the SSS Christmas Sweater Background. I figured why not combine the two. 

I first stamped the sweater background in Versamark onto some Bristol smooth card stock.

I then ink blended it with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. 

The ornaments and lights were stamped in Versafine and colored with Distress Inks in Victorian Velvet, Scattered Straw and Tumbled Glass. 

The branches were stamped with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide. I cut them all out with the coordinating dies. 

I used a SSS circle die and heat embossed the sentiment with Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder. I used the same embossing powder and dies to create the "strings" that attach the ornaments to the trees. 

I used some foam tape to pop the whole panel onto a white notecard. I then used a Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen onto the sentiment circle, inside of the ornaments and the lights. I also put some on that border showing on the notecard. 

Thank you for stopping by for all these Christmas cards and 

I hope to see you in the new year!

Plaid Christmas Card using Avery Elle Warm Wishes stamp set

Happy Saturday!

Today I have some cards using the Avery Elle Warm Wishes stamp set along with the Concord and 9th Plaid Background.

The mason jar images on both were done the same.
I stamped using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and used Zig Clean Color markers to color in.

The background above was made with Versafine Black Onyx Ink and Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder. I used the sentiment from the set and used the same embossing powder onto some black card stock.

This one used SSS Barely Beige Ink and Ranger Silver embossing powder. The sentiment is stamped onto some white yardstick with Versafine ink and heat embossed with Recollections clear embossing powder.

Both backgrounds were cut out using the MFT Dynamics Blueprints 13 set with the rectangle stitched die and matted with some black card stock.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Zig water colored Fractile Leaves

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! 

Today I have another Thanksgiving card. I am new to card making and stamping but man it is rare to find Thanksgiving stamps. I do apologize in advance because you will be seeing cards using the same two stamp sets. They both happen to be of leaves.

I am using the SSS Fractile Leaves stamp set.

I heat embossed the leaves onto some Kraft cardstock using Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder.

I then water colored using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in a variety of greens, reds and yellows. I cut the panel using the MFT Die-namics Blueprints 13 rectangle die. I matted it on some Rusty colored cardstock.

The sentiment is from the SSS Ornate Leaves stamp set. I heat embossed it onto a strip of vellum and accented the strip with a uncolored leaf.

Thank you for coming by and see you next time!

Color Throwdow Challenge #462 using SSS Fractile Leaves

Happy Thursday! 

Today’s post is for the Color Throwdown #462. 

The colors this week are Rust, Green, Orange and Blue. 

I used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors for the background and the images. 

I wanted a messy watercolor background to be able to show off these 

Simon Says Stamp Fractile Leaves. It sort of reminds me like the leaves fell into a river. 

I hear embossed the leaves and sentiment with Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder. 

The Autumn Blessings sentiment comes from the SSS Ornate Leaves stamp set. 

I used the same embossing powder to make a matte to put the watercolor piece onto. 

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

Simon Says Blissful June Card Kit

Welcome Back!

Today I have a card I made using the Simon Says Stamp Blissful June Card Kit

A lot of people have been doing ones that show the flower cluster on both ends but they looked so good and had to do one myself

I stamped the images with the SSS Barely Beige ink that came in the kit. 

I used a water brush and watercolored with the Daniel Smith Watercolor Palette in the kit. I only used this little palette for all the watercoloring, I had to mix some together to get different tones but it was a nice collection of colors to use. 

I then took a piece of the watercolor paper and heat embossed Ranger Princess Gold onto it. I used the same powder to emboss the sentiment onto the black card stock.

The sentiment on the outside and inside was from the included SSS Floral Bliss Stamp Set. 

I then put the watercolor piece onto a piece of the Echo Park Wedding Bliss Collection paper pack. 

I stamped the flower cluster inside with the same SSS Barely Beige ink and then heat embossed the sentiment with the same Ranger embossing powder. 

I then used the SSS Metallic Ivory Envelope and heat embossed the floral cluster to match the card. 

Now I just need someone to get married! 

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

Color Throwdown # 445 using Altenew Hennah Elements

Happy Color Throwdown Wednesday!

The colors for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge #445  are Navy, Light Pink, Gold and White

I first used a piece of Navy card stock to emboss the flowers and flourishes from the Altenew Hennah Elements stamp set.  I used Ranger Embossing Powder in Princess Gold. 

I then embossed the larger flower and leaf with the same embossing powder onto some Bristol Smooth card stock. I also used some Wink of Stella on the flower to add some sparkle.

I colored them in with Spectrum Noir markers:

Flower: PP1 and PP3

Leaf: BT1 and BT4

The sentiment is from the same stamp set and heat embossed with the same gold embossing powder. 

To add some interest I did a backing of velum on that white strip.

The flower is popped up with some foam dots to add some dimension. I put onto a piece of patterned paper to give that light pink background.

I made a envelope out of some white card stock  and again heat embossed a different flower from the set. I colored it in with the same Spectrum Noir markers as the flower on front. 

Thank you for visiting and I will see you next week for another challenge!
