Simon Says Stamp’s Super-Special STAMPtember® PARTY!!!

Hello everyone! Today is the day! Yay! I'm so thrilled to be participating in the Simon Says STAMPtember party!!!

The new STAMPtember release is now available in the store at Simon Says Stamp and so many awesome new products waiting you!

I made a card with absolutely adorable SSS BIG PICTURE BOOK FRENCH BULLDOG Wafer Die to celebrate STAMPTEMBER Party! I used some older SSS products along with this cute die.
I started working on my background by adding a sheet of double-sided adhesive onto white cardstock.

Next, I die-cut it using FOLK DANCE Wafer Die from Friendly Frolic Release.

All the pieces of paper are cut out but remain in their place because I used a double-sided tape.

Next, I die cut Simon Says Stamp BIG PICTURE BOOK FRENCH BULLDOG Wafer Die out of beige and white cardstock. I blended some beige and pink inks on his ears and over his eyes and nose.

Then I adhered all the details together with liquid glue and adding glossy accents onto his nose and eyes.

I fussy cut the hill out of patterned paper and adhered onto my floral background. The sentiment is YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE Wafer Die from Sending Sunshine Release.

STAMPTEMBER PARTY + SPECIAL GIFT

STAMP-A-FAIRE 2018: WATER YOUR FLOWERS

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you a watercolor card that I made for STAMP-A-FAIRE 2018: WATER YOUR FLOWERS WITH BETSY VELDMAN challenge.

I started by stamping the beautiful flowers from Peonies on Parade Stamp Set with clear embossing ink on watercolor paper and white heat embossed.

Then I stamped the leaves with Antique Linen distress ink and quickly watercolored the images with my favorite watercolors. I mixed the Yellow and Magenta for the flowers and Blue and Green for the leaves.

I think the partial embossing add more depth and interisting look on this card. To finished my card I've added sparkling sequins as a final touch.

I also wanted to post this for the Daily Marker Coloring Contest by Kathy Racoosin in Advanced category!

Thank you all for stopping by and have a great day!

Guest Designer for Neat and Tangled

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you my last card for Neat and Tangled blog as a guest designer this month.

For today's post, I decided to make a vintage card with pale watercolored flowers. First, I stamped the images from the Friendly Florals stamp set on a piece of watercolor paper with Antique Linen distress ink.

Then I watercolored the flowers with light peachy coral and the leaves with muted blue green and olive watercolors. Once my coloring was done, I added a few paint splatters and then when it dry I stamped the sentiment in clear embossing ink, sprinkled with metallic embossing powder and heat that.

I foam mounted my watercolored panel on a kraft card base and added sparkling sequins as a final touch.

Thank you so much for joining me today and have a great day!

Guest Design for Neat and Tangled

Hello everyone! Today is my second post as a Guest Designer for Neat and Tangled! For my today's post I decided to make a fun autumn card with this adorable deer.

I started by blending a white piece of paper with distress inks. I used Salty Ocean, Cracked Pistachio, Dryed Marigold distress inks and splattered my panel with the same inks.

After my background was done, I stamped the cute images from Into The Woods and Floral Heart stamp sets with black ink onto white paper. Then, I colored all the images with Copic markers and die cutting them with coordinating dies.

I adhered floral hearts on the bottom of my panel and fussy cut the edges. Next, I foam mounted the images and two white banners on my panel and my card is complete!

Thank you so much for joining me today and have a great weekend!

For the sentiment I die cut the word Hello from Floral Arrangement coordinating die set and gold heat embossed Sweet Friend from Birds of a Feather stamp set onto tiny stripe of light grey cardstock.

For my next card, I stamped beautiful flower from Peony Spray stamp set with black waterproof ink onto watercolor paper and watercolored it with Altenew watercolors.
