A little watercolor and a little Rock n Roll PLUS a shaker!!

Lots going on here, huh?

First a little watercolor for fun,

then a little rock n roll (notice the balloon animal)

and last but NOT least, a shaker in the word "birthday"!

and then I had to add those sparkly stripes to the background to go with the sparkly silver sequins on the front of the card!



 

stamps:  Avery Elle: Party animal, Impression Obsession: Thin Stripes

dies:  PTI: birthday word, PTI edgers die

ink:  distress for watercolor, PTI: spring rain, blueberry sky (the balloon animal)

misc:  Wow metallic silver sparkle embossing glitter

More Blending and a Twist on the Rock n Roll technique

The Twist on the Rock n' Roll technique...

stamp off once, then re-ink the edges!

I added orange sequins to the center of the large flowers,

but didn't have the same color for the smaller bursts of color,

so copics to the rescue!

 

PTI Funky florals, Keep it Simple:  Thinking of You

PTI ink:  terra cota and dark chocolate

 

I masked off the circle and used distress ink for sponging on the color.  To get movement,  I used smaller butterflies from the bottom left to the top right.

dies:  SSS: with sympathy, WPlus9 small butterfly frame, Lil' Inkers stitched rectangle frames

stamp:  PTI Butterfly Dreams

ink:  Distress: peacock feathers, dusty concord

misc:  pearls



Some ink to paper and some blending with sponge

Darn, I see I didn't do a good job making my sentiment straight! I sponged on some Distress inks, blending as well as I could, I think I am finally getting the hang of it. After I blended, then I die cut it using a Lil' Inkers Stitched oval.

The die cut is a SSS:  Fresh Daisies

This card I swiped the PTI inks across the tag and then stamped a flower from MFT Peaceful Wildflowers, the sentiment from the same set.  The background is PTI Polka Dot Basics II

A Very Trendy Holiday ~ Nordic Style

Lucky for me I had some Basic Grey "Nordic holiday" paper pad!!

I used a piece of it for the background!

This is another card for Stamp Nation's "A Very Trendy Holiday" class...it is awesome...so much information and wonderful inspiration!  Lots of videos and tutorials too!

A Very Trendy Holiday ~ Woodland Animals

I just think these little "critters" are so cute from Lawn Fawn, and after taking the Online copic class, I can do a better job of coloring them, so I pulled out this "Winter Bunny" on the sled and have him heading down the slope!

This card is for a Stamp Nation class:  A Very Trendy Holiday!

A Very Trendy Holiday ~ using Metallics

My metallic is the Liquid Platinum EP by Rangers...

I sponged on some Distress Ink for the sky, then because I forgot I wanted to add stars, I added them afterwards and it actually worked out okay (phew!)

That cute little tree and sentiment are from Paper Smooches "Merry Motifs" I colored the tree with copics.

 



A Very Trendy Holiday Geometric Style!

This time I was inspired by Tracey from In My Creative Opinion

 

 

I used the PTI Autumn Pattern Pieces in pure poppy and new leaf and added a strip of the same paper to the top and bottom.  Pretty simple and easy!
Thanks for the inspiration Tracey!

Heart Hugs friends!

A Very Trendy Holiday

Inspired by Feathers

Inspired by Feathers and babies!!

PTI Feather Finery, Zing EP, Liquid Platinum EP

PTI Inside Out:  Baby

I cut just the edge of the feather and placed the strip of dotted paper on the inside

 

I stamped the feather with sweet blush for a soft feather, then used raspberry fizz for congratulations.

I have a friend who is going to be a grandma again...another baby girl, I thought I would send this to her daughter!

 

Heart Hugs!

 



Fall is in the Air!

Adding some Fall cards to my stash.

This is a sketch from Stamp Nation.

 

PTI paper, Phrase Play # 5 die cut "thankful",

MFT Fall Foliage, Lawn Fawn "So Thankful"

 

I have been wanting to do a layout inspired by Maile Belles and at the same time, do the layered stamping.  I used the MFT Fall Foliage again and inked up each leaf with two different colors.  I love how it gives depth and richness to the images.

 

Thanks for taking a look!
