Happy Anniversary

Hello everyone! I would like to share another watercolor card with you :).

I stamped the peony cluster on watercolor paper and colored it with watercolor markers. I blended a light blue background around the peonies and stamped the message with stamps from the Scripty Thoughts stamp set. It takes a bit of time to watercolor the image, but the result is really nice :).

I used the stamp sets Peony Cluster and Scripty Thoughts.

I hope you're inspired to create!

Thoughts and Prayers

Hello everyone, today I want to show you a card I made with the encouraging thoughts stamp set and the scribble flowers set. This card is pretty easy to make and a great way to let someone know you're thinking about them.

I made a background with soft hearts on white paper with a stencil and some green ink. After that I stamped the sentence and image on it. I colored the image with watercolor markers and blended the green color to a lighter shade in the top of the leaves. 

I added a bit of Wink of Stella on top of the leaves to give them a bit more sparkles. To finish the card I added a couple of sequins and adhered everything on a blue-green background.

I hope you're inspired to create!

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 ;).

I hope you're inspired to create!

Doodle Florals

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you two cards I made with the Doodle Florals stamp set.

I stamped the  images on marker paper with alcohol markers and after that I cut them out. I colored a bunch of flowers and leaves at the same time so I had a lot of flowers to choose from when I made these cards.

I used light purple cards as a base and added a couple of colorful patterned papers to give the cards a brighter feeling.

I hope you're inspired to create!

Happy Days

Sometimes all you need is a large sentiment and some patterned papers to make a card :). Today I want to show you two cards I made with the messages from the stamp set 'Happy Day'.

I stamped the messages on the same paper as my card stock and used a rectangular die (with stitched edges) to cut them out.

I stamped one of the smaller images from the stamp set next to the words on the cards and colored them with watercolor markers.

I searched for colorful patterned papers and a couple of matching stickers / paper flowers to give the cards a bit more color. And finished them with enamel dots and sequins.

I hope you're inspired to create!

Doves of Peace

Hello everyone! Today I want to share two cards I made with the Doves of Peace stamp set.

I stamped the images on marker paper and colored them with alcohol markers. After that I cut out the images and searched for matching background papers.

For my first card I wanted some golden accents. So I used a craft colored card and vellum with golden accents for the background. I adhered the vellum on the left side with a piece of washi tape (with golden dots) and with a bit of glue behind the paper with the message on it. I stamped the message on white cardstock and gave it a blue background with Distress inks.

For the second card I used a background paper with uplifting words and I stamped the message on a darker piece of cardstock and I used white embossing powder to make it stand out on the background. I added a blue ribbon and a couple of sequins and enamel dots to finish the card.

That's it! I hope you're inspired to create.

The Lord bless thee

Hello everyone! Today I want to share this card I made for a friend with you. The messages on 'Friendship is a Blessing' are so beautiful and great to use for cards for friends that you can't see during this time.

I used kraft colored paper for my card and added a white background with ink and a stencil. After that I stamped the message onto the card with the leave (from the Scribble Flowers stamp set) underneath it. I colored the image with colored pencils. I added a couple of sequins, and that's it! A quick way to make a beautiful card.

I hope you're inspired to create!

Springtime!

Hello everyone! Today I want to share two springtime cards with you. I love the cute little chicken with the flowers and colored it twice to make these cards.

I colored the images with alcohol markers and cut them out. I colored a couple of leaves from the itty bitty blossoms stamp set too, so I could use them in the background of my first card.

I used a lot of stickers and patterned papers to give the cards more color and a real springtime feeling.

I added a yellow ribbon and some sequins to finish the cards and that's it :).

I hope you're inspired to create!

Blessings are found where you seek them

These days it can be hard to find the blessings, but I think it's important to keep looking for them. So I made this little card as a reminder.

I stamped a background with the little hearts from Texture Tiles 5. I stamped the heart from Sweet Little Lamb with the same ink and cut it out. After that I colored the image with that ink too. I stamped the message from Blessings in Disguise with black ink.
I masked the bottom and top of my card to make the light pink part of my card and colored the middle with Distress ink. To finish the card I added a couple of clear sequins.

 

I hope you're inspired to create!

Friends are a blessing

Hello everyone,
today I want to share this cute little lamb card with you. These lambs look so sweet!

I stamped the image on watercolor paper and colored it with watercolor markers and a water brush. I die cut the rectangle frame but the white background was a bit distracting. At first I thought I would add a bit of grass and a blue sky but I had this stencil with little hearts that I wanted to use too. So I decided to mask the images and to make a blue background with Distress Oxide ink. After that I added the hearts with the stencil (you could use one of the texture tiles for this too). I distressed the borders of the frame and decided to add the message on another rectangle frame.

After all the elements were done, all I had to do was to pick a nice patterned paper for the background and finish the card with some enamel dots.

I hope you're inspired to create!

Lots of love, with lots of hearts

Hello everyone! Today I want to share a card with this cute piggy :). I love the little hearts he's throwing around.

I stamped the image on marker paper and colored it with alcohol markers. After that I die cut the circle with a stitched border and distressed the edges with a purple ink. I stamped the heart background with the background tiles and added a matching patterned paper to the card. I used a piece of washi tape and some sequins to finish the card.

I used Lots of Love and Texture Tiles 5 for this card.

I hope you're inspired to create!

Time for Spring!

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you two cards I made with the Springtime stamp set.

The proces for these cards is pretty simple. I colored the images with alcohol markers and used a die to cut the rectangles out (this safes me the struggle with small details when cutting them out ;)).

After that I searched for some matching papers that represented the springtime feeling too. I layered a couple of patterned papers on the card with the boots. For the card with the little chicken I used a kraft colored doily.

On this card I stamped the message 'springtime blessings' with a brown ink. Of course I had to add a couple of sequins to finish the card.

I hope you're inspired to create!
