Whimsy Stamps Day 3

Hello again!

Happy Wednesday! Hope you're having a lovely week so far!

I'm stopping in for the last day of the Whimsy Stamps June release.

Today we are simply sharing a creation using any of the stamp sets from the release. I chose the Squeezed stamp set. I just love this fun summery set.

My card was fairly simply to create. I simply stamped all the smaller stamps in the set, lemon, lime, ect on water color paper all over my background and colored in with my Zig real brush markers.

I stamped my sentiment onto a white strip of carstock and adhered closer to the bottomof my card and adhered my panel onto a white card base, and that's it! Very simple to create but I love the look of a colored background.

Thank you so much for joining us for the Whimsy Stamps June release!

Thanks for stopping in today!!

Pretty Pink Posh Rainbow Theme Week

This is my second post for today.
For the Whimsy Stamps day 2 release post press here.

                                                                                                                                                  

Hello friends!

It is Rainbow Theme week over at Pretty Pink Posh  and I'm on their blog today to share my  rainbow creation.

I decided I wanted to make a rainbow completely out of sequins! So that's exactly what I did!

I'm in love with the new 4 mm iridescent sequins and I thought this was a perfect way to show them off!

I started off creating my rainbow by just adhering my sequins to the paper but I noticed my rows were just wonky and did not look like a rainbow at all so I found something circular in my craft room to trace a faint half circle with. In my case I just used a roll of painters tape but you can use whatever you have on hand that would give you a good guide to start making your rainbow. After I had my rainbow traced out I started adhering my sequins following my traced line, changing colors of sequins each row. I found the best way to adhere the sequins down were to use the Zots bling dots which are just teeny tiny glue dots. I found this worked best simply because I could move my sequins around if I found I wasn't lining them up the way I liked it.

I used the following sequin colors all in 4mm to create the rainbow:

Strawberry Burst

Sunshine Glow

Peacock Feathers

Ocean Spray

Amethyst

Rose Gold

Ok! Now that my rainbow is done onto the rest of my card, I stamped my clouds from the Rainy Days stamp set. My blue clouds are stamped with Bashful Blue ink from Stampin up and then I went in with a blue Copic marker on the edges. My larger cloud was stamped with Lavender ink from SSS.

I fussy cut my clouds out leaving a small white border and adhered towards the top of my rainbow with some fun foam to give them some dimension.

I die cut the Scallop Frames die out of white cardstock to frame my card, I also adhered some fun foam on the back of my frame to pop it up to the same dimension of my clouds.

Lastly, I stamped the 'Brighter Days' sentiment in Dusty Concord Distress ink and the 'Wishing You' part of the sentiment in just black ink from SSS.

That's it for my rainbow card today!! I just love how the rainbow full of sequins turned out!

Thanks for joining me today!

Whimsy Stamps June Release Day 2

Hello crafty friends!

Today is Day 2 of the Whimsy Stamps June clear stamps release.

Today we are showcasing the Ocean Journeys stamp set and the Ocean Journeys sentiment set.

To start my card I cut watercolor paper out of an oval die from Avery Elle, I then did some ink smooshing on top. I used 3 shades of blue from Zig real brush markers, scribbled them all over some acetate, spritzed with water and smooshed it down all over my watercolor oval to get my background look.

I stamped my boat seperatly on watercolor paper, colored in with my Zig markers and fussy cut out.

Once my oval panel was dry I was able to stamp my sentiment and adheref my peices onto a white card base.

To finish it off I added some Sparkling Clear sequins from PPP.

That's it for my card today!

I love this new nautical themed set and think it would be perfect for masculine cards!

Thank you SO much for stopping in today!!

Whimsy Stamps June Release Day 1

Hello!

I am happy to be guest designing with Whimsy Stamps again this month for their June clear stamp release.

Today we are showcasing the new stamp sets Need More and Squeezed.

They are both so much fun!

For my fist creation I used the Squeezed stamp set.

I started with watercolor paper and water colored some Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink by smooshing it on from some acetate, I also flicked some ink onto the sheet as well to get some splatters in the background. I used the Hand Stitched Border die from the last Whimsy Stamps release on each side of my water colored panel. I stamped my jug and glass on a separate piece of watercolor card stock, colored in using Zig real brush markers to make it look more like pink lemonade and then cut out with the coordinating dies, I fussy cut the little inner part of the jog myself. I adhered my glass down first directly to my panel but for my jug I adhered it on to some fun foam and then adhered it down to give it some dimension.

I scattered some Pink Peonies and Sparkling clear sequins from PPP around my images and then adhered my panel onto a pink card base made from Cotton Candy card stock from SSS.

For my second card using the Need More stamp set, I stamped my tea and coffee mugs onto watercolor paper and colored in with my Zig real brush markers and fussy cut out.

I used some plaid pattern paper I had in a paper stash for my background and adhered my white card panel that I had matted with some purple cardstock. I adhered my images on the card and scattered some sequins from PPP. I did some light ink splattering in the background but I didnt capture it so well. :P

That's it for my cards today! 

I will be back tomorrow with day 2 of the release.

Thank you so much for stopping by!!!

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge # 11

Hello!

Hope you're all having a lovely week so far!

A new challenge starts today at Stamping Smile Designs Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, with a new tic-tac-toe board to play along with.

I chose the row of Yellow, Ink Splatters and Scalloped Border.

I don't think I've ever really used much of yellow on my card so to do a whole background of it was a tad out of my comfort zone so I had to mix it with some orange too.

I started with watercolor paper and wet the entire piece with a wet paint brush, I found this helped blend some colors together, I then took my Zig real brush markers and layered color over top.

I splattered some of the orange marker onto my background to give get the subtle ink splatters.

I stamped my flower from the Friendship Blooms stamp set separately, colored in with Zig real brush markers and fussy cut out.

I die cut my scallop border out of some glitter cardstock from Scallop Rectangle dies from Pretty Pink Posh. I stamped my sentiment and finished off by scattering some gold sequins.

Hope you enjoyed my very yellow card:p

Hope you'll join along with the new challenge.

Thank you so much for stopping in today!!!
