A Bit of Whimsy

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  We're at the mid way point of the week with the weekend and May Day approaching quickly.  For today's share, I've created a whimsical floral card featuring heat embossing and watercoloring.

The floral image and sentiment are part of the Gina K. Designs "Forever Flowers" card kit, which I've heat embossed and watercolored with diluted distress inks.  This is a large image and as you see, it covers a 4" x 5.25" panel quite nicely. The bow is a separate stamp, in the same set, so you can choose to use it or not.  I think it adds a nice touch along with the enamel dots to complete the design.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Forever Friends, Forever Flowers

Hello and Happy Thursday.  Today's post is a quick make and share featuring stamping, heat embossing, alcohol marker coloring and layering.

The featured stamp and sentiment are from the Gina K. Designs Forever Flowers stamp set; which was part of the Forever Flowers Card Kit.  I stamped and heat embossed the image and sentiment, colored the floral with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and layered the panel on patterned paper from a Spellbinders card kit.  

Lastly, added some faux gems and twine for a finishing touch.  I've seen so many beautiful floral projects recently I just couldn't resist creating one of my own.

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

As You Like It - Embossing or Stenciling?  This is too difficult a question to answer as it depends on my mood and what I have planned to whether I like Embossing or Stenciling better...so I'll stick with Loving them both!

Tie Dye Happy Birthday

 Happy Wednesday, the week is half gone with the weekend in sight.  Today's make and share features stamping, heat embossing, die cutting and ink blending.

The images with matching dies are from the Gina K. Designs "Forever Flowers" card kit.  I created my own funky tie dye background by heat embossing in white and ink blending with distress oxide inks.  I die cut a large bloom and popped up on foam pads along with the sentiment strip and die cut "birthday". 

Cheerful and colorful..of couse LOL.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Easter Daffodils

Good Saturday to you!  Easter is fast approaching and today's make and share features beautiful Daffodils, Ink Blending and Alcohol Marker coloring.

My card measures 5" square, the image and sentiment stamps are from the Gina K. Designs Forever Flowers card kit.  I embossed and ink blended a panel with Distress Oxide Inks in shades of blue, colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, cut a banner for the sentiment, added enamel dots and twine for a finishing touch.

Daffodils are a sure sign of Spring and as a child, I always knew when I saw them pop up, it would be time to go shop for a new Easter Dress.  Have a Great Day and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Monochrome Hello Friend

 Hello and Happy Wednesday and I hope you've had a lovely day.  It's early evening as I type this post and I'm sharing a Monochrome Friendship Card created with the Gina K. Designs Forever Flowers Stamp set which is part of the Forever Flowers Card Kit.

I love color but was inspired to create a Black and White card after watching a Gina K. You Tube Video.  Her card was stunning so I wanted to give it a go.  I stamped the images with Versafine ink, die cut with the matching dies; which are part of the kit, and arranged all on a die cut oval panel.  I die cut two card panels with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Rectangle Dies, embossed the white panel with a Brick embossing folder, added clear gems and a gingham ribbon.  That completed this Monochromatic card; I do like the final result.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
