Sketched flowers

I've been trying to branch out into different colour schemes. Honestly, when I pulled out these Distress Oxide inks, they said "Halloween" to me, but I think they're OK on this card.

 I used the Sketched Flowers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp, along with Distress Oxide Inks and some copic markers.

Love you more

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd make some cards.

I CASEd a card by Jennifer McGuire (check it out HERE). I used a slightly different technique, though. I just wanted some texture on the Yupo heart panel (cut with a die from Pink and Main), so I used a stencil from Hero Arts and sprayed some rubbing alcohol over it. A fair bit ran underneath the stencil, but the texture came when I removed the stencil. I added a die cut and stamped sentiment from Simon Says Stamp and some little heart bling from Studio Katia.

I will be sharing this card at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, where the theme is "Clean and Simple".

Love you more today than yesterday

Valentine's Day is coming up, so I made this card using stamps from Altenew and Simon Says Stamp.

I white embossed the flowers and leaves onto watercolour cardstock, then smooshed Distress Inks over the top. I sprayed the panel with water, dried it, then repeated the process, adding some darker reds. I finished the panel with a spray of Perfect Pearls in water.
I then used the love die from Simon Says Stamp and it's shadow die to cut the sentiment out (I used the shadow to cut a window in the panel, then cut the word die from multiple pieces of white cardstock, and layered them up). I mounted the sentiment stamp from Simon Says Stamp's "Thoughtful Messages" on a curve and stamped it using a Hero Arts shadow ink, and cut it out on a curve by hand. I finished with some sequins.

And I made a video!!

Crafter's Choice at A Blog Named Hero

Today, I'm CASEing myself - I made a card similar to this one a few years ago, but with a different background stamp, and with Distress Markers instead of Zig markers.

The challenge at A Blog Named Hero this month is "Crafter's Choice", AKA Anything Goes, so make sure you join in!

You are my sunshine

I've had rainbow clouds in my mind for weeks, and then yesterday, I saw that the latest challenge at CASology is "Cloudy", and I couldn't resist!

I used the Mini Cloud Edges stencil from My Favorite Things with a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks. The sentiment and the birdies are from Lawn Fawn, coloured with Copic markers.

I will also be sharing this card at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, where the theme is "Clean and Simple".
