Have a wonderful day

Hello. Playing in the Sunday Stamps sketch challenge today.

I picked up this red rubber stamp at a stamp show years ago. I colored it with TomBow markers and then spritzed it with water to get a watercolor effect. 

Purple and green cardstock is from paper pizazz. Sentiment is from The Ton.  Added self adhesive pearls from Kaiser craft to the centers of the flowers.   

Have a great weekend.

Thank you

Hello - playing in the CAS colours and Sketch challenge today.

Blended oxide inks, cut out the fishtail banner, then splattered it with water and ink. Layered it in black, added it to the white panel and then adhered it to the black top folding card base. Added the die cut thank you to finish it off.

It turned out to be a pretty quick CAS card.

Project of the week - fun foam stamps

Hi everyone. It's my turn to do a project of the week over at The House That Stamps Built. Today I'm turning a die cut into a stamp using fun foam.

So, I stamped it using white pigment ink and then colored over the top of it with Prismacolor pencils. I heat embossed the sentiment using fine white detail embossing powder. Butterfly is a charm.

This second card, I just stamped it in green pigment ink, added the sentiment and finished it off with self adhesive pearls. I think this sentiment is so apropos right now.
