Red Tide At Sunset

July 11, 2018 admin

This is a cute little card, I think. I like the way this little watercolor piece turned out. I started out watercoloring a piece of watercolor paper with Merry Merlot, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party. I had no idea out it would turn out. The first piece was not quite what I was wanting, so I tried again. This time I cut a smaller piece and watercolored it. After watercoloring about 3/4^th of the piece, I thought “Oh that looks like a sunset at the beach with the Red Tide coming into shore.

I used the 2 inch layering square framelits to cut the piece from the Iarger piece I had watercolored. I used a black Stampin Write Marker to draw the two birds.

I cut a panel 4 x 5-1/4 from Whisper White cardstock and embossed using the Seaside TIEF. I popped this on the Whisper White card base using Stampin Dimensionals. I then popped the watercolored pieced onto the embossed panel. The thanks greeting on the from is from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped it using Merry Merlot Stampin Pad on a scrap of the piece I had watercolored. I drew around the stamp that the word Thanks was on and fussy cut it. I popped it below the watercolor square.

The inside sentiment is also from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set. I probably should have watercolored then stamped, so since I didn’t I used my heat tool to dry the sentiment I had stamped in Black Memento Ink. I sponged the colors around the sentiment and then used an Aqua Painter to spread the ink around very carefully, so I would not mess up the sentiment. I discovered that was a great way to watercolor, sponge the color on dry and then use water.

These are the Challenges I am playing with today: Inkspire_me CHALLENGE #358 and CAS ON FRIDAY

That’s it for today. Visit again, there will be more another day.

Hello- Love What You Do!

July 9, 2018 admin

Welcome! Happy Monday,

I tried a new technique for me, I wanted to see how it looked and how it would turn out. I ended up being pleased with the results. I drew inspiration for today’s card from the Global Design Project . I also found inspiration from WWC177-Charlotte’s Feminine “Anything Goes” Challenge.

The card base is Fresh Fig. I have double matted using Mint Macaron and Grapefruit Grove. For the art piece I cut a piece of watercolor paper 3 x 3-3/4. I use a stamping block ( you can see it in the picture above). I pressed it lightly on the Mint Macaron stamp pad and then stamped on the watercolor paper. I stamped, then stamped again without re-inking. The lines on the stamping block gave even more dimension to the piece.

I then stamp using Memento Black Ink and the Love What You Do Stamp Set to stamp the flowers on the Mint Macaron piece. I colored the flowers using Grapefruit Grove Stampin Pad and a Blender Pen.The flowers appear to have tiny dots all through them and this is from stamping on the Mint Macaron background. I wrapped three strands of the Nature’s Twine around the card and tied a knot.

I did not put a sentiment inside, just stamped the flowers from the Love What You Do Stamp Set and colored. I left it blank except the flowers so a note could be written.

That’s all for today. Hope you enjoyed seeing my card.

Garden Impressions/Delightful Daisy

July 6, 2018 admin

I am playing with two challenges today. Color Throwdown ctd500 and Freshly Made Sketches

Whisper White card base with a Whisper White mat. Two corners are matted with a panel of the Garden Impressions DSP.

The art piece is stamped using the Delightful Daisy Stamp Set between the two corners that are matted with the Garden Impression DSP. I stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored using So Saffron and Blushing Bride Stampin Inks and a Blender Pen.

The greeting on the front is from Teeny Tiny Wishes (retired).

I also matted the corners of the inside panel with the Garden Impressions DSP. The sentiment is from Verve, I believe.

Now that’s it for today. Hope you enjoyed my simple and easy card. Visit Again.

A Great Pair

July 5, 2018 admin

I received this stamp set at OnStage Atlanta and have used it barely, so thought I should start making good use of it since it is such a cute stamp set. I have seen so many cute cards made with this set.

I decided to play with the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge Card Maker’s Choice.

Here is the card recipe.

Berry Burst – Card base 5-1/4 x 8-1/2. Scored at 4-1/4.

Garden Green- Mat embossed with Layered Leaves TIEF. Mat cut 4 x 5-1/4

Animal Expedition DSP – 2-1/4 x 3-3/4 strip. Popped on the top of the Garden Green Mat.

1-1/4 x 4 strip for the inside sentiment panel.

Smokey Gray – Rhino stamped using Memento Black Ink and fussy cut as the dies for this stamp set are on back-order. I popped him on a bed of Linen and Copper Metal Thread that I had wrapped around my hand a few times.

Circle Layering Framelits- Two sizes used for the greeting on the front. Whisper White and Berry Burst.

Garden Green Ink – Used for stamping the green on the Whisper White circle.

That’s the card for today!

I would love to have you join my team! All types of demonstrators are welcome from the people who just want the 20-25% discount for themselves–to wanting to have your own business.… don’t be like me and wait 10 years–when I think of all the discounts I lost in those 10 years it can be sicking. I bought Stampin Up products from a friend for 10 years, but I finally got wise. July will be the perfect time to join. No pressure ever. If you decide you do not want to be a demonstrator that fine with the company, they will never harass you to sell anything. That’s over $192 in products for $99. Why not give it a try?
