Rainbow Alcohol Pearl Inks

Happy Friday! So happy it's almost the weekend! Many of you probably watched the Jennifer McGuire tutorial on the new Alcohol Pearl Inks where she used a straight edge and a piece of felt to make some awesome backgrounds (here is the link). If you haven't seen it I am highly recommending it!!!

For my background, I used a rainbow selection of the Alcohol Pearl Inks and a piece of inexpensive felt and taped it to a straight edge. I put a few drops of the the ink directly on the felt with a bit of blending solution. and spread directly on my Yuppo paper, I repeated the process until I was happy with the result.

I die cut the panel and left all of the pieces in the die.  I scored my Neena 110lbs card base and simply added foam tape to most of the pieces still in the die. I used liquid glued for the smaller pieces.  I flipped my panel and line it up and simply used my poker tool to place the die pieces on the base.

I then chose this fantastic die cut and sentiment set by Sunny Studio and Tonic Glitter paper. I die cut two black and one white piece and offset all three pieces. I then white embossed my secondary sentiment on Lawn Fawn Black Licorice cardstock.  To finish off mu project, I added some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins.

Simon Says: Interactive Cards

Hello crafty friends! It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Interactive Cards! The design team is featuring fantastic Lawn Fawn products :), it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

Come join in on the fun, you have the chance of winning a $50 gift card to the fantastic Simon Says Stamp store!

I decided to use the fun Shadow Box die by Lawn Fawn for my project. I love the size of the Shadow Boxdie , you can use 6x6 paper with it. I chose the Lawn Fawn Watercolor paper pack and die cut both the light purple for the outside and the light blue for the inside and to act as the sky for my scene.

I also die cut accessories with various Lawn Fawn cardstock (all listed below) from the Shadow Box set and I die cut the scalloped window that came in the Shadow Box Ocean Add-On set. I also die cut the smallest of the Butterflies from the Mini Pop-up Butterflies using the Pink and Yellow Watercolor paper.

I then pulled out this cute little Chameleon and stamped her on some Neena 80lbs cardstock and colored her with my Copics in Rainbow colors :) Once that was done and she was die cut, I added one of the super fun Simon Says Stamp eyes on her.

I put my little scene together using Score tape to make sure nothing got loose. To finish off, I stamped the sentiment on a Lawn Fawn Banner die with a mix of white and rainbow colored embossing powders and I added some flowers with a mix of Nuvo drops.

All you need is love!

Hello crafty friends! This beautiful stamp set from the latest Simon Says Stamp release "You Are Loved" appeared in my mailbox yesterday! I couldn't resist playing with it last night.  I am into to rainbows lately, I think I have had enough of the holiday themed cards! lol

I used these hearts for the Ornate Love stamp set, I just love the detail in the them. This set also features a gorgeous larger detailed heart which I can't wait to color! 

I stamped out my hearts in rainbow order and added a simple black sentiment from the same set.  I die cut the side of the panel using a Lawn Fawn dotted line border and cut the excess of the panel off to be able to put this sweet yellow Doddlebug paper.

This card was so easy to put together and I love the fresh happy colors.

Party Like a Flock Star!

Happy Friday crafty friends! My post today features the fantastic new Toucan Do It stamps and dies by My Favorite Things. I mean seriously leg-warmers? Too sweet!

I started with my base panel and some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink in the middle of the panel in an oval formation with my ink blending tool. I then sprayed the area with my Distress sprayer for texture and since it is a Neena 80lbs panel the effect is faint. 

I then used the new Heffy Doodle Unbeleafable stencil and selectively blended certain leaves from the full stencil on the sides and top and bottom with a mix of Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Inks. 

I stamped my leaves from the Toucan Do It stamp set with the same Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover Oxide Inks with the "rock and roll" technique to avoid harsh lines (Distress Oxide Inks stamp like a dream!) 

I stamped my bird with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink (my go-to Copic friendly ink). I started with the rainbow feathers and the bandana. I then colored the bird and beak. I used the accompanying Die-Namics. I used Nuvo white embossing powder and Lawn Fawn Black cardstock for the sentiment.

I flat glued the leaves to the panel and used foam tape for the bird and the sentiment stripes. I added white Gellyroller accents to the eye, nose and bandana once that was dry I went over the beak and eye with Nuvo Crystal Glaze. I also added some pink Stickles to the bandana and the leg warmers.

I finished everything off with some Sparkling Clear sequins by Pretty Pink Posh. All of the products used are listed and linked below!

Thanks for taking the time have a great weekend! It's a long weekend here in Canada to celebrate Canada Day!

Simon Says: Anything Goes!

Happy Wednesday crafty friends! That means time for another fun Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! 

Simon Says: Anything Goes! 

The design team is featuring Doodlebug products this week! I mean when you are using Doodlebug products a rainbow is in order!

I chose the Dot Grid Daisy Stripe 6 x 6 paper pack. I took the Daisy pattern in all of the colors and cut small strips of paper.  I then used a piece of Neena 80lbs card stock and started glueing my pieces in rainbow order on the panel.

I die cut the panel using my Wonky Stitched Rectangle die. With all of that color I felt that white would be the best for my die cut sentiment and flowers. So I used my Tonic White Glitter paper and die cut the Altenew Fabulous sentiment and my Concord and 9th flower along with two of the CAS-ual Fridays flower dies. All of the products used are listed and linked below.

I added some Avery Elle sub-sentiments and finished it all off with some Doodlebug Glitter Sprinkles. I used foam tape to place my base panel on the Neena 110lbs card base! Come join in the fun at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for a chance to win a $50.00 gift voucher.
