If Friends Were Flowers I’d Pick You

whimsy2_2017jul29


Hi, everyone, I’m back with another card as Special Guest Designer for Whimsy Stamps. Today I have a card using the stamp set Lovely Lavender. And it is indeed lovely.



DT badge 2016 - special guest


To begin, I did a watercolor wash on watercolor paper for my background, then I cut the center oval out and stamped the chicken wire image and part of the sentiment on the “frame” with black waterproof ink, then popped it up on foam tape for dimension.

I stamped the lavender, the butterflies, and the rest of the sentiment on the cut out oval then adhered it directly to the white card stock base and finished off with some clear sequins.

And that’s it from me today! It’s been fun stamping with the fabulous products from Whimsy Stamps and I thank them for having me as Special Guest Designer this month. Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!

I thought this had kind of an Autumn vibe so I went with LJD Geometric Greenery stamp set and LJD Geometric Greenery Die-namics for my focal point. I’m using a Grout Gray card stock base and I applied some molding paste on Sweet Tooth card stock through Small Brick Wall Stencil for my background. When it was dry, I sponged on some Grout Gray dye ink to give it a little more definition and adhered it to the base with foam mounting tape.

I stamped the leaves on Ranger Watercolor paper with Black Licorice hybrid ink, cleaned my stamp and stamped again with Versamark before heat embossing with Ranger Super Fine Black Embossing Powder. I wanted that little bit of texture on the leaves and at certain angles you can see the shine which adds yet another dimension. Then I watercolored them with Peerless Watercolors and popped them up on the card front with foam tape. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark on Black Licorice card stock and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. After I added some enamel dots in the challenge colors I was done!

And there you have it! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the

I’m Smitten with You–MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #343

MFTWSC343_2017jul26

Hi, everyone, I’m back with this week’s MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s sketch. All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT Challenge & Inspiration blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The MFT Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

MFT_WSC_343

I just love the new Smitten Kitten stamp set and coordinating Smitten Kitten Die-namics! I stamped the images on No-Line Coloring Card Stock with Black Licorice hybrid ink, cut them out with the dies, and colored them with Copic Markers. On my Sweet Tooth card stock base, I added a panel of Fun & Frolic Paper Pack then adhered the main panel, which was created by applying a watercolor wash on Ranger Watercolor Paper with Peerless Watercolors, adding a strip of Black Licorice card stock down the side, and adhering it with foam mounting tape.

MFTWSC343_2017jul26b

I added a Single Stitch Line Oval Frames Die-namics, cut from Safety Orange card stock and also popped up on foam, the sentiment, stamped with Versamark on Black Licorice card stock cut with Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips Die-namics, and the colored images. To finish off, I added a bunch of Wild Cherry card stock hearts, cut with Tag Builder Blueprints 6 Die-namics.

And there you have it! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the
