Mother's Day Card using Silhouette Cameo

Happy Wednesday !

I have such an adorable card to show you today!

It is the Flower Bundle Mother's Day Card by Lori Whitlock.

I got mine from the Silhouette Design Store. 

I cut it all out of white card stock and ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks.

Distress Oxides:

Squeezed Lemonade

Cracked Pistachio

Peacock Feathers

Abandoned Coral

Picked Raspberry 

Tattered Rose

I also used a Silhouette Sketch Pen in Silver for the sentiment. 

It was my first time using one and will definitely not be the last. 

After assembling I added Wink of Stella Glitter brush pen to the 

flower centers and the sentiment circle.

Thank you so much for stopping by and 

I hope you have a fantastic Mother's Day Weekend!

Birthday Card using Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste background

Hi!

Today I have a Birthday card that is all about the sparkle!

I got my first jar of Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer paste and I jumped at making a fun background.

I first ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks in Broken China, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers.

I then applied the Glimmer paste onto the MFT Stencil Star Grid stencil

It was kind of hard to pick up in picture but man the way the paste changes color with the inks makes such a pretty sparkly gradient. 

I cut the sentiment from a design I had from the Silhouette Design store.

I added Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Pen in white.
I wanted to add more  'weight" to it so I smooshed my versa mark pad onto the sentiment and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I finished off with some more sparkle by added some clear sequins.

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

Distress Oxide Water Painting with MFT All About You

Hi!

I fell in love with a technique Jennifer McGuire did of water painting with Distress Oxides.

I just loved how going over the images with the water gave them

 this ethereal look like they are glowing. 

I made these cards to give to some family and close friends for Mothers Day.

I used the exact technique Jennifer did of setting up my mini Misti with the images on one side then rotating 90 degrees to stamp the other to have symmetrical.

I used the Simon Says Stamp Spring Flowers and More Spring Flowers stamp sets.

I heat embossed them with Ranger white embossing powder.

The purple on left was ink blended with Distress oxides in Shaded Lilac in the center and Wilted Violet to the edges. I then took Seedless preserves to darken up the edges just a tad.

The reddish orange one was done with aa combo of Abandoned Coral and Candied Apple.

 I water painted all the images and dabbed off to make lighter and then went back and painted in with the Shaded Lilac and Squeezed Lemonade 

The sentiments are from the MFT All About You stamp set and Dies. I used a Wink of Stella pen to add some shimmer to the You sentiments and added some Nuvo Jewel drops in Pale Periwinkle and Limencello to add some dimension and interest. 

Thank you so much for visiting and I hope to see you next time!

Color Throwdown #487 using Alcohol Inks

Happy Monday!

Today I have my submission for the Color Throwdown Challenge #487.

The colors this week were mint, red and pink. 

I first made the alcohol ink background using Pink Sherbet, Patina and Crimson Ranger Alcohol Inks. 

I also used a ink I made from a neon pink sharpie. 

I cute it out using the MFT Blueprints Die-namics 13 rectangle die.

I made the sentiment by cutting and attaching about 6 of the Neat and Tangled Awesome sentiment. The top one got a layer of the Wink of Stella Glitter brush pen in white.

The You Are part was from a MFT All About You stamp set and white heat embossed onto some black card stock.

Thank you for checking out my submission and I will see you next time.

Happy Wednesday!

The Color Throwdown colors this week are Pink, Green, Kraft and White. 

 A friend at work and I show a love of otters so of course I had to make her a otter Christmas card. 

I used colored pencils to color in the otters which I stamped onto the Kraft card stock and cut out with the coordinating dies. 

I used some pattern paper and glitter card stock from the SSS Milk and Cookies card kit. 

The snowflakes are from a Sizzix Thinlits die set. 

It is hard to see in pic but I used the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush pen to add some sparkle. 

Thank you for coming by and 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!

Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit Post 3

Welcome back to the third post featuring the 

Simon Says Stamp Some Bunny Card Kit for March.

These next cards are all about featuring that awesome patter paper from Echo Park called "Celebrate Easter" that is provided in the kit.

The sentiments on both were stamped with Versafine Onyx black ink and heat embossed with Recollections Clear Embossing Powder using the Simon Says Stamp Some Bunny stamp set that came in the kit 

I used the Mojo Monday #443 sketch for the layout. The bunny is water colored using Distress Inks in Spun Sugar and Hickory Smoke. 

The little heart is colored with a Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker and then I went over it with my Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Pen and coated with Glossy Accents. 

I really loved those two background papers and really wanted to show them off. 

The bunny this time is colored with Zig Markers and its hard to see in pic but I sprayed some Glimmer Mist on him to had some sparkle. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and see you for Post 4!

Distress Oxide Resist Background and Altenew Halftone Circles Stamp Set and Die

Hey Everyone!

Today I have a card featuring the new Altenew Halftone Circles stamp set and coordinating die.

I stamped the circles with Versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
I  smooshed some of the Distress Oxide in Wilted Violet and Cracked Pistachio on my craft mat and spritzed water onto them.


I then pounced the paper into the inks.
I would dry the paper and then pounce again to get fun splotches all over.
While I was drying with the heat tool I would spray water onto it.

I stamped the sentiments in Versafine Black Onyx ink and popped the "crafty friends are best "bit onto some foam tape to add some dimension.
I went over the Hello with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush pen in clear to add some shimmer.

The last step was to add some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Grey Mist.

Thank you for visiting!

See you next time!
