Pin It

 

HELLO!!
I'm stopping in to share a BEAUTIFUL and FUN Card I've made for a couple Challenges and for a SPECIAL Friend!! She LOVES Summer because it includes two of her FAVORITE things, Flowers and Flip Flops!! As I sat down to create this Thanks You Card I got the FUN Idea to include the two on my Card!! Then as I was trying to figure out the PERFECT Sentiment, I came up with a FUN Play on Words!! I used a Couple different Sentiments from Paper Smooches to create my own Sentiment that DISCRIBES her PERFECTLY!!  THANKS YOU FOR BEING FLIP FLOPSOME!!  =)
SQUEAL!! How FUN is that for a Play on Words!!?? I KNOW its going to make her SMILE!!

 

 

                                    
I started by creating my own Patterned Paper using the Sweet Flip Flop Image from the Paper Smooches Summer Lovin Stamp Set!! I Stamped and Embossed them onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I added some Ranger Ink Black Soot Distress Paint by Tim Holtz!! I Die Cut the Largest Paper Smooches Ovals 1 Dies from some Distress Watercolor Paper and then Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment!! I used the Many Thanks Stamp Set for the Thank You Sentiment, the Spectrum Stamp Set for the some and the Summer Lovin Stamp Set for the Flip Flop!! Then I inked the Oval with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and added some Hibiscus Flowers also from the Summer Lovin Stamp Set!! I Stamped and Embossed them onto Distress Watercolor Paper!! I Colored them with Copic Markers and then added some White Gel Pen High Lights, Tonic Studios Shimmer Pen and some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops for dimension!! I added some Sequins for some more Color and Sparkle and my Card was done!!

Get Sketchy Challenge #2 with Joni ~ Blessed Card!! =)

Pin It



Hello!!
I'm stopping in to share the Card I've made for the Get Sketchy Challenge #2 with Joni over on the WPlus9 Blog!! =) I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Sketch and have SEVERAL Card Designs that I Sketched out using it!! I thought t would be Neat to use the WPlus9 Love Mom Layers Dies and create the Base for my Card!! I Die Cut some Distress Water Color Paper and then cut a section out using my Paper Trimmer!! I used another Distress Water Color Paper to Die Cut another Stitched Panel and then I used some Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio and alittle Salty Ocean Distress Stain to Water Color the entire Piece!! I LOVE the Neat Marbled Color that I got!! I Layered the Cut Distress Water Color Pieces on top of the Water Colored Panel leaving a 1/8 inch Border once it was Dry and after I had Stamped and Embossed part of my Sentiment!! I then Glued down the Blessed Die Cut Word that I Die Cut along with some Fun Foam and covered with Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter!! I saw Yana Smakula do this on a Video awhile ago and I KNEW I wanted to do it for this Delicate Blessed Word Die Cut from the WPlus9 Doodle Buds Die Set so I could have the Dimension without having the Mess of either Layering several die cut words or trying to use regular foam tape pieces!! I LOVE how easy it was and how AMAZING it looks!! =) I stamped several of the Tiny Flowers from the New Exclusive WPlus9 and Simon Says Many Thanks Stamp Set!! I created two different Colors of Flowers using different Shades of Purple!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Leaves and added an Embossed Flower Center to the Stamped Flowers!! I LOVE the look of Shimmer in real Life!! I thought that these Flower Images from the WPlus9 Doodle Buds Stamp Set looked like Butterflies too!!?? So I decided to use them as Butterflies on my Card!! I Stamped and Embossed them then Die Cut them using the coordinating Doodle Buds Dies!! I used Distress Inks in Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber to Water Color them and then added some Rock Candy Glitter for some Sparkle!! Then I added s Sprinkling of Crystal Clear Sequins from Simon Says Stamp and a Few Black Gel Pen Dots for some added interest!! Hope you Like my card as much as I do!!

I'm also playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes!!
