Color Throwdown #508


Hey there!  I'm super excited to be sharing my card for the Color Throwdown Challenge #508 as their Guest Designer this week!  And the color combo of purple, green, yellow, and red are amazing!


To make my card I pulled out a bunch of scraps in the colors for the challenge, and used a Simon Says Stamp Feathers die for my pieces.  I sponged the outsides of the feathers with coordinating Distress Ink colors, and then adhered those to my card base.  My sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp set called Yes You Can, and I stamped that using Versamark Ink onto some black cardstock, coated it with some fine detail white embossing powder, and then heat set that.

If you'd like to watch the process check out the video below:

This was such a fun color combo. . .they always are!

Color Throwdown #506 . . . I'm a Hugger (sort of)


Hey there!  Today I have a card for the Color Throwdown Challenge #506.  The colors for this challenge are aqua, peach, light gray, and white.  I decided to use this adorable Lookin' Sharp stamp set from Taylored Expressions for my images.  The background was done on Taylor's Heavyweight Vellum using alcohol inks in the colors Pool, Peach Bellini, and Silver.  My images were colored with Copic markers.  If you'd like to see a process video on how I made this card, check out my video:


The card was so fun to make, and I'm still learning so much when it comes to using the alcohol inks.  I learned that a little goes a looooong way when using the Silver mixative, but I also learned that the alcohol inks look absolutely lovely on the vellum paper.  I'll definitely be doing that again.

Encouraging Cards Series #9


Hey there!  I'm back with another card for my Encouraging Cards Series.  If you've followed along, you know that my goal is to try and make at least one encouraging card a week and then send that off to someone who I think might need that.  

This week, I'm using an Art Impressions stamp called Garden Window.  I love these interactive Art Impressions sets.  I have a video I did on the process if you'd like to see that:


I used my Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors along with some Canson XL 140lb watercolor paper to make this one.  The other one was my sampling done with Copics.  Here are the items I used to make the watercolored card:
