Have fun in the rain!

 Happy Friday crafty friends! I hope all of you had a great week. It was a bit busy on my end - both in everyday life and work! But, I took advantage of a rainy evening to take a break in my craft room and made today's card.

 For today's card I made an A2 card base and cut another piece to use as my front panel. On this piece I stamped the clouds and puddle from the Puddle Jumpers stamp set and masked them so I could ink the background later. Then I used the Mosaic stencil and some gray ink to create some kind of road hill.

 Once I was done with the background I used Copic markers to color the puddle and clouds. On a separate piece of cardstock I stamped and fussy cut the cute little girl image from the Puddle Jumpers stamp set, and also colored her with a selection of my Copics. To finish the card I used foam tape to tape the image the front panel. I added a sentiment from the Puddle Jumpers stamp set, some glossy accents on the images, and placed some clear sequins to add a bit of shine to the card.

Song Birds - Mini Art Journal

Today I have sweet little journal page in the mini journal I made using my memorydex dies.

First, I did some fun but simple background texture with distress oxides, the leaf branch stencil, and Spotted and the "rain" from Puddle Jumpers and then I toned it down a bit with watered down white acrylic paint. I stamped one of the birds from Song Birds on top of this and colored it with my Polychromos colored pencils. They work great - easily coloring over other things! Finally I used Versa Clair Nocturne ink for the sentiment/verse.

I hope you like it and are inspired. Sometime a little canvas is just what you need to keep creative!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Finding joy in the Rain

 

Happy Friday my friends! I'm excited to share with you today's card project using supplies from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps new release.

For today's card I used the new Mosaic stencil and the adorable stamp set called Puddle Jumpers. This set has some cute images and beautiful sentiments. I Love that the sentiments are so uplifting and perfect to send to a loved one who needs a reminder that no matter what is going on, everything will get better.

When I made my card, I started by making an A2 card base and cutting another piece for the front panel. On the front panel, I used the new Mosaic stencil with some gilding polish to give it some texture and shine.

Then I stamped and cut one of the images from the Puddle Jumpers set and colored it with some Copic markers. I used an oval die where I stamped the cloud, and then one of the sentiments that come with the set.

I then used some masking tape to cover the sentiment so I could stamp the little rain/heart drops over. To finish, I added some glossy accents on the flowers and rain drops.

Don't forget to check out Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps new release, you will really love it!

puddle jumpers

 Good morning and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Today I have two cards using another new set from the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps March release. This one is called Puddle Jumpers... it's perfect for the Spring weather that finally arrived!

Product link: Puddle Jumpers

I cut the little girl out and placed her on a tag for my first card. She is also cute with the puddle underneath her, but my tag wasn't tall enough for both. I did find some little raindrop gems to add to the card!

I did a little experimenting on my second card. There's a really cute puddle image in the set but I wanted to see if the cloud would work as a puddle too (minus the splashes). I should have stamped it a bit lower, but I think it worked ok. How cuuute is the tiny paper boat? ♥

Have a great day!

Mixed Media Joy!

Spring is in the air big time. My tulips are out of the ground and just minutes away from blooming! How is the weather in your area?

Today I have a "CAS" - mixed media card. Is that even possible? I had a gel print in my stash that I thought would add some background interest for my sweet pail of flowers and sentiment from the new Puddle Jumpers set from Sweet N Sassy.

I used acrylics to create the background and colored my image with Polychromos pencils. I grounded my pail with some washi tape then added more in a few spots to balance everything. I added a bright, contrasting mounting piece and that is all there is to it. I really like it but what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to create something today.
