Beautiful Floral

Hello friends!  I'm over on the Crafty Doodle Chick Blog today and on here sharing a new watercolor floral card with all of you...

To color my image from Hero Arts in I used Tombow Watercolor Markers and a waterbrush.  I then created my background with Distress Oxide Inks and a heat embossed sentiment by GinaK. Designs. 

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me today!  Make sure you stop by the Crafty Doodle Chick Store to see all of the new products coming in weekly and the great deals!
Happy Crafting!

Shoot for the Stars...

Hi friends!  I'm about to do something I haven't done in a very long time... drum roll please......

I'm posting something I've created just for fun... say what?!  It has been so long since I've just crafted for fun with no deadline, or specific product required, and it felt so good!  I'm hoping to have more of these types of projects in the future as I made it my crafty resolution to do more crafting for me.

With that being said I've had this adorable Reverse Confetti Moon Men stamp set sitting in it's packaging for months, and while I was in the mood for watercoloring I decided to mix the two together.  Plus the timing was perfect, because as I was about to look at the Reverse Confetti Blog for inspiration I came across their Stock Your Stash Challenge and this month's challenge is Love is in the Air... how great is that?!

To create my card I started with my galaxy background.  I knew this would take longer to create and it would need more time to dry, so I set about using a water on water technique with a mix of blues, purples, greens and yellow watercolors from my Altenew Watercolors.  Once the first layer dried, I went back over certain areas to add more depth of color and allowed this to dry as well.  For my final layer I brushed on black watercolor, keeping it darker in some spots and allowing the color to come through more in other areas.  To add the appearance of stars I splashed a few white and gold watercolors from my Gansai Tambi Watercolor set, and set it off for a last time to dry.

Next I moved onto stamping and watercoloring in the chosen images from this set.  Once these were dry as well I fussy cut them out and adhered them onto my galaxy background.  The sentiment was embossed onto black cardstock with gold embossing powder, and the whole thing was adhered to silver mirror cardstock.  As a last touch I added in a few sequin stars, and viola!  Super cute, fun, and he's all for me!

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit today, and I hope to see you more throughout the year!

Happy Crafting!

A Muse Studio Release: Hip Hip Hooray!

Hi!  Are you having a good week so far?  I've been having a blast playing with the new A Muse Studio goodies that will be available at the end of this week for you to buy! YAY!!!  Today I am playing with the Hip Hip Hooray Stamp Set, this set is small with two images and a sentiment, but I love finding as many ways as possible to use sets like this for a bigger bang for your buck.

To create this card I started by stamping the cake and cupcake images all over watercolor cardstock to create a fun background.  To color the images in I used my Zig Color Clean Markers and then added water to blend the color out.   For the sentiment I stamped and embossed it with White Embossing powder onto Onyx Cardstock.  I then adhered the panel to the Onyx Cardbase.

Did I mention that this set is your FREE with any $50 purchase?!  Awesome!!!!
Stop by the A Muse Studio Blog for more inspiration, peeks and giveaway details!

STAMP-lorations CAS Challenge

*If you are looking for my Ellen Hutson PinSights Post Click Here
Hi!  Today the CAS team for STAMP-lorations is sharing another take on this month's Challenge with the twist of Brown.

Supplies Used: Strong Women and Happy Sunflower Stamp Sets, Gansai Tambi Watercolor, Embossing Powder in Gold and White, Gems

To create this card I started by stamping and embossing my flower onto watercolor cardstock. I used my watercolors to loosely color the flower in and then dried it with my heat gun.  For the background I used various Browns and a Metallic Copper.  Once this was dry I stamped and embossed my sentiment and added some gems.  I then framed the panel twice with two different browns.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create for the challenge!  Remember all products are welcome! :)

Happy Crafting!
