Cloudy Day card

This cloud challenge was fun because I created a card that is a little out of my comfort zone because of it.  I embossed my patterned paper, then swiped white ink onto the raised clouds. 

Supplies:

Gina K Designs Warm Spring Wishes stamp set

Versafine ink Onyx Black

Darice Cloud Embossing folder

Crate Paper DIY Shop 6x6 paper pad

Avery Elle Pigment ink Pure White

Holly Christmas Card

I have a Christmas card to share today.  I heat embossed  the image on watercolor paper and colored it in with Tombow water-based markers and the blending pen.  I went outside the lines, and was not going to use the image.  But then my son casually asked me if I was cutting that one out, so that is what I did!  I will need to thank him later.

Mama Elephant Cup of Wishes CASE

The ModSquad Blog Challenge this week was to CASE (Copy and Steal Everything) another card. I thought this was a good opportunity to visit some of my pins on Pinterest, and I found this card on the Mama Elephant blog.

Here is my version:

I masked the teacup to make a stack of them and masked further to add the flower to each cup.  I colored these with both Pebbles Metallic Chalks and Tombow markers.  I trimmed out the cups.

I did not have the paper used in the pin, so I stamped my own with a background stamp.  

I plan to use this as a Valentine.  

Supplies:

Mama Elephant Cup of Wishes Stamp set

Hero Arts Love Jar Stamp set (for sentiment)

Versafine Onyx Black ink

Hero Arts Tweed Background Stamp

ModSquad Case A Card

Watercolor Resist with Leafy Vines and Distress Inks

To make this card, I stamped the Leafy Vines with Versamark ink onto watercolor paper, then added clear embossing powder and heat set.  I smooshed Distress inks on my craft sheet in Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Chipped Sapphire and spritzed water that had a scoop of Perfect Pearls onto the ink.  

I used a paint brush to apply the homemade pearlized watercolors from light to dark.  I allowed the panel to air dry.  

I heat embossed the butterfly stamp onto white vellum paper and trimmed it out.  I used a single glue dot in the middle to adhere this.  

Supplies:

Hero Arts Leafy Vines

Gina K Designs Warm Spring Wishes (butterfly)

Hero Arts CL342 (sentiment)

Hero Arts Shadow ink Navy

Versamark ink

Distress inks: Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Chipped Sapphire

Purple & Teal Color Challenge - Wild Flowers Card

This card was made for a color challenge - Purple and Teal.  I did not have a teal ink so I mixed two colors of Distress ink - Broken China and Mowed Lawn.  Not only did this get me to teal, but there is also a nice subtle color gradient in those stamps.  

Stamps: Gina K Designs Wild Flowers designed by Melanie Muenchinger

Inks: Distress Broken China, Mowed Lawn and Dusty Concord
