Sending Waves of Love

Thursday, June 13, 2019

Hi there! Today I have a card that I created for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I love this sketch and I already had an idea for a card to make with some new products I bought. I just had to tweak my design a little to go with the sketch.


I started this card by ink blending a background using three different shades of blue distress oxide ink. When it was dry I used Versamark ink to stamp a waves background stamp and heat embossed with gold glitter embossing powder. I stamped the sentiments with the darkest shade of the distress oxide ink. To finish, I adhered the waves panel and die cut anchor to the card front and then popped up the sentiment strips. 


My Supplies: 
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp Waves Background, Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words
Dies: Simon Says Stamp Anchor
Ink: Versamark, Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon, and Blueprint Sketch
Paper: Strathmore Bristol Smooth, Papertrey Ink White Stamper's Select

Thank you for coming by today!




Because It's Your Birthday

Tuesday, June 11, 2019

Hi there! Today I have a card that I created for CAS(E) this Sketch and Seize the Birthday.



I began by stamping and coloring six butterflies. I wasn't careful with the coloring. I just scribbled one color on each butterfly. I die cut the butterflies and the scalloped panel. To add a little interest to the panel I masked the edges and flicked the colors I used for the butterflies onto it. I laid out the butterflies how I wanted them to fit on the panel and then stamped the sentiment. To finish, I adhered the panel to the card base and then the butterflies to the panel. 


My Supplies:
Stamps: Hero Arts New Day Butterflies, Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words Birthday
Dies: Hero Arts New Day Butterflies, Honey Bee Stamps Scallop A2
Ink: Versafine Onyx, Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers in Geranium Red, Orange, Yellow, Emerald Green, Persian Blue, Violet, and Light Gray
Paper: Papertrey Ink White Stamper's Select 

Thank you for stopping by today!




Let Your Dreams Set Sail

Monday, June 10, 2019

Hi there! Today I have a card that I made for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge.


To make this card I started by trimming down a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth card stock and then stamping the images I wanted to use. I couldn't wait to use this new stamp set! I used a few colors of Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to water color the boat image and shade the clouds. I felt like it needed something more so I added some silver stickles to the corners of the sails and the clouds. To create the background piece I used distress oxide ink and a diagonal striped stencil and then trimmed it down. I finished by adhering the background piece to the card front and then popping up the front piece with foam tape.


My Supplies:
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp Your Light
Ink: Versafine Onxy Black, Distress Oxide Black Soot, Zig Clean Color Real Brush in Geranium Red, Yellow, Light Blue, Persian Blue, and Light Gray
Paper: Strathmore Bristol Smooth, Papertrey Ink White Stamper's Select
Other: Simon Says Stamp Diagonal Stripe Stencil
