Set of Roses

I started with one card from these vinyl stickers, and then decided I had to make a card set. Three didn't seem enough, and then I found two more stickers.  All roses have heavy wink of stella coverage and shine so prettily in the sun.

They have been all wrapped up with stamps and a pen and will be gifted shortly.

 Supplies:
Watercoloring was done with distress markers and ink pads
Embossing powders by Hero Arts
Versamark and Versafine inks
Sequins by Pretty Pink Posh and Darice
Papers - Cardstock by Stampin Up, Watercolor Paper by Canson 140lb coldpress


Thanks so much for stopping by!

Missing my Dad

I made this card to send to my Dad. We video chat a couple of times a week, so I get to see his face and the antics of the kittens. We talk or text almost every day as well...but its not being there.

Supplies - watercolor paper, distress inks, Elizabeth Craft vinyl sticker, Glitter Ritz super fine glitter, Simon Says Stamp stamp set.

I think he'll enjoy this surprise card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello there

A glittery card for my MIL...she likes the sparkly cards as much as I do. This one should light up the place when the sun hits it.  I used vinyl stickers by Elizabeth Crafts. Watercolored using distress markers, then dowsed it in yellow stickles. Embossing powder was Hero Arts, sentiment Jillibean Soup.

Glitter and Die cut

I picked up this die on a whim while on a day trip with hubs.  I love flowers, so they always pull at me. I pulled out the Be Creative tape and the Glitter Ritz glitter and a couple Spectrum Noir markers.  I glittered the daisy background, center, stem and leaves, leaving the petal outline plain.  I colored the center, stem and leaves. I so love these glittered cards! Sentiment is from Hero Arts Butterfly and Flowers Set CL750.

The die is 901-Daisy from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a FAB day!

Outline vinyl sticker

On our recent outing, I also picked up some Elizabeth Craft Designs stickers. These stylized tulips did not look too appealing, but I though I'd give them a shot. I am SO glad I did.

This is a mini card, the image itself is about 3.5 inches long.  This is a mini card 3 by 4.25 inches.  I started with 1/2 of a Distress Watercolor sheet (yes, I am addicted to this stuff!!)  I pulled off the vinyl sticker from the sticker sheet (6 main images for about 2 bucks) and placed it UPSIDE DOWN on my work space.  Because it is a vinyl sticker it can become pulled out of shape when placing on your card surface.  I then placed my paper over it lightly tapping the center, I turned it over to check placement...It took 3 tries to get it to the right spot.

I used distress markers to color the flower Fired Brick and Mowed Lawn , and blended out with waterbrush. The image was outlined in Tumbled Glass and then in Victorian Velvet to create the back ground. I like the bit of glow the blue provides. I dabbed on wink of stella (thanks for the tip-Kristina Werner)  to get some shine and I think I captured a bit of the shine in the photograph.

The sentiment came from the Hero Arts set CL567 - You and Me.  I used super sticky double sided tape to adhere the panel to the card base. Next time I will heat emboss the sentiment, to make it match the vinyl sticker gloss.
