Morning Glories Two Ways

Esther (from Shoregirl's Creations) here today sharing two cards using the Sympathy Morning Glories stamp set.

 

This first card is a one layer card with the morning glories stamp around the edges of a watercolor panel in  Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I then used a dabbing method to watercolor the flowers and leaves. (I dabbed on two colors of watercolor paint and used a wet paint brush to spread the color around.) After my paints were dry I added some text using the Typewriter Text Background  stamp and black soot distress ink. I then splattered the piece with white acrylic paint. The final step was adding a sentiment from the Timeless Hymns stamp set and a few black jewels. 


My second card is a clean-and simple card with lots of fussy cutting and paper piecing. 


To color my image I created two ink smooshed backgrounds (on mix media paper) using dusty concord and worn lipstick distress ink for the first and shabby shutters and rustic wilderness for the second. I stamped the morning glories on the first one and the leaves and stems on the second. Next I fussy cut all the flowers and leaves, and stamped a third image stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink on white card stock. I glued the leaves down first and popped up the flowers with foam mounting tape. I fussy cut around this third image and added a bow using purple burlap string.

The black background was embossed with Swirl Motif 3D embossing folder from Altenew, and I stamped the sentiment in Yeti ink from Lawn Fawn.

Sending Love & Prayers

 Hello Sweet Friends! Sheri here today sharing a Sympathy card featuring the Sympathy Morning Glories stamp set.
 
I first started off by creating the background panel by taking three shades of blue (light, medium & dark) and ink blended them. I then stamped the large Morning Glories image using a Misti tool so I could re-stamp to get a dark crisp image. Next I cut out the center of the image with a stitched rectangle die and added a mat before putting the pieces back in place. The sentiment was heat embossed in white onto a piece of black card stock and cut down into a strip. I also added a few clear sequins.
 
Card Measurements:
White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")
Black Mat: 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
White Stitched Panel: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
Black Rectangle Mat: 2 3/8" x 4 1/8"
White Stitched Rectangle Panel: 2 1/4" x 4"
Black Sentiment Strip: 2 11/16" x 1/2"

Morning Glories and Mixed Media

   Good Morning Everyone!  

Last's month's mixed media cards were so much fun that I decided to do it again.  This time I am using the Sympathy Morning Glories Stamp Set.  

I started with a piece of Yupo Paper, alcohol inks ad embossing powder.  Using pink, yellow and orange alcohol inks, I created a inked background.  Next, I stamped the Yupo with Versamark Ink and then carefully heat embossed it in gold embossing powder.  The panel did warp a little, but since I fussy cut the image out, it really did not matter.  

As the image had an Asian flair to it, I decided to go with red and black cs.  I found this black panel in my stash that had been embossed with Translucent embossing paste.  I added that and a red strip of cs and finished off with the flowers, backed with a white circle.  

The sentiment, from the Birthday Wordfetti Stamp Set,  was stamped and heat embossed in gold on black cs on a narrow strip of paper and then adhered to the card.  I did not feel any need to add bling to this.  You can see all of the shine and texture here~



Next up, another mixed media card using the Sympathy Morning Glories stamp set, but much simpler and subdued- much more appropriate for a sympathy card~


This card was started with a gel press print in blue.  I die cut a circle from it.  It would make a good base for some monochromatic blue flowers.  The flowers were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics.  I tried to stay really light, but I have such a hard time doing that!  

Once colored, I fussy cut the flowers out.  I opted to mount the circle and flowers in the bottom right corner of the panel, but the card seemed to need a little more so I added a white card front die cut.  The sympathy sentiment strip and a few sequins finish the card.  

And I cannot finish this post without sharing something from the new release! 


Yup, still trying to keep things, light, soft and pastel!  This time I colored the beautiful cake from the Just Married Stamp Set and fussy cut it out.  I kept things simple here, adding it to a patterned paper circle with a sentiment strip.

You're in my thoughts


Hello everyone! Today I want to show you a card I made with the Sympathy Morning Glories stamp set.


I stamped the image on watercolor paper and colored it with watercolor markers. I stamped a message from the Encouraging Thoughts stamp set. A great match with this image! I distressed the edges of the image and added a blue background paper behind it.
And of course a couple of sequins to finish the card ;).

Begin Again with Butterflies

Hello All!

Have you checked out the May release yet?  Goodness, I just can't stop playing.  I consider myself a colorist, but the large butterfly in the Begin Again Stamp Set has me playing all sorts of ways.  '
The MOJO had run dry so I have been watching videos to try new things and remind me of old things.  I came upon a video highlighting the faux watercolor technique.  This is a super easy and fun technique where you ink up your stamp with ink and spritz it with water, then stamp on your paper (something that will take water well)- I used watercolor paper. This is what I ended up with; and guys, I played and played and played!

I was getting more creative by the time I got to this card and did some splattering as well.  The sentiment is from the new Encouraging Thoughts Stamp Set, which is also the Stamp of the Month.  Goodness, the font!  I just love he font in this set, and as you can see from the rest of the cards, I used many sentiments in the set!  







This sentiment is from the So Thankful Stamp Set.  



This sentiment is from the Sympathy Morning Glories Stamp Set

After playing with this technique, I went a bit further with it, first stamping the sentiment with the technique I had been using, and then stamping with Versamark in and heat embossing with clear embossing powder.  This allowed me to paint on the background without disturbing the main image. 


As this is a distress technique, I used distress inks for all of my cards.  Some are first generation stamping, some are second and some are third.  Some are heat set after stamping and then stamped over again.  Some are stamped over and not heat seat after the first stamping.  They are all different; in other words, just have fun and play to see what you get!  And, sometimes I got mud, lol.  
In then end, I splattered each card with a bit of watercolor paint in a coordinating color.  
Also note that unless you area only going to stamp one time, you need a stamp positioner to do this. I used my MISTI through the whole process which is what allowed me to stamp multiple times on the same image. 
This set of cards is going to be gifted to a friend of mine who buys a lot of my cards.  This stamp and technique is perfect for making a gift set! 
Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you give this a try!

Don't forget, Encouraging Thoughts is the stamp of the month and is FREE with your order of $75 or more!

To God Be The Glory

Today I am playing with the December Stamp of the Month: Sympathy Morning Glories Clear Stamp Set

I have two projects for your inspiration. I wanted to show the versatility of this set so I tried for a more somber card with color pencils and a brighter Bible journal card with water color

The card is on Neenah Dessert Storm cardstock with Polychromos color pencils. I just love this look - the color pencils just jump off the page!

The Bible Journal card on Canson XL watercolor paper using Arteza Watercolor pencils, Distress Inks and a white gel pen to brighten up the centers:
I also added two of the sentiments from Faith Wordfetti and then I "smooshed" some Distress ink on the page with Philippians 4:20: To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen....It all just seemed perfect to me. What do you think?

These were fun to create and I loved trying out different inks on them! I hope you are inspired.

Thanks for stopping by!

Strength and Hope

Hi friends, It's Julee Tilman popping in to share a clean and simple card with you.


This one uses the December Stamp of the Month, Sympathy Morning Glories. It's available for purchase, or you can get it for free with a qualifying order during the month of December! And it's definitely a keeper! Beautiful sentiments for those hard to create sympathy cards and a beautiful morning glory image.


I started by stamping the morning glories in waterproof ink and then coloring with Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a glitter brush pen.  I then trimmed around the image and set it aside to work on the rest of the card.


I stamped the sentiment (oh how I love this one!) in black at the top of a card panel, then embossed just the bottom section of the panel with a chicken wire embossing folder.  A blue mat brings in the eye and finishes things off beautifully.


Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the whole December release in the shop! It's a FUN one!

Frame It with Flowers

Hello All!

Did anyone brave the crowds on Black Friday?  I sure didn't.  I stayed in and crafted!  I had new Sweet n Sassy Stamps to play with so there was really no question as to what I would do!
One of the new sets that Korin has is Sympathy Morning Glories.  This also happens to be the Stamp of the Month so it is FREE with your $75 order.


I love the size and shape of this floral image.  It is perfect for stamping around the outside edge of the card to create a floral frame.  For this card, I used Arches 100% cotton water color paper and a combination of Daniel Smith Watercolors and Gansai Tambi watercolors.  I started with my MISTI and stamped 1 image in the corner of the panel.  I used Versafine Onyx Black Ink as I would be watercoloring.
Once the first image was stamped, I rotated the panel 180 degrees and stamped the image again in the opposite corner.  At this point, I had to reposition the stamp to stamp the remaining two corners.  Once stamped, I water colored the flowers and then the background.  The sentiment is also from the Sympathy Morning Glory Stamp Set; I really was in need of more sympathy sentiments so I was thrilled when I saw this set.  I stamped in the Versafine Black ink and also used the MISTI for it so I could stamp multiple times and get solid ink coverage on the rough paper.
I die cut the panel to give it a finished edge and added some sequins and Wink of Stella to the flowers to finish it off.
There is still time to take advantage of the December Early Bird Bundle.  If you haven't seen it yet, you should check out the cuteness!


And don't forget that with all orders of $75 or more, shipping is FREE!

That's it for me!  Have a crafty and blessed day!

Lee Ann
