Life is Good Stencil Card for Nani Ke Ola Blog

Hello!  Today I am sharing a fun, bright and happy card with you here and on the Nani Ke Ola Blog!  This card was easy to create, but has a fab artsy feel to it...

Supplies Used:
All products are by Prima Marketing unless noted otherwise: Butterflies Stencil, Watercolor Brush Pen, Watercolor Pencils - The Basics, Empress Gold Color Bloom Spray
Foil Die Cut: Pink Fresh Studios
Die: Lawn Fawn

To create this card I started with a panel of watercolored cardstock and began tracing the butterfly stencil with a very fine tip PITT artist pen.  Next I went through and haphazardly colored the butterflies in various colors with my Prima Watercolor Pencils.  Once everything was colored I went over them quickly with my Prima Waterbrush letting the colors blend and purposely taking them outside the lines.  Tip: when mixed colors make sure to wipe your waterbrush between shades, this prevent any muddying of the colors.  Once this dried I spritzed it with some Prima Gold Color Spray. My final step was to diecut the panel and adhere it back in place with foam adhesive.  I then added my embellishment/sentiment and ta - da!

I am entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Anything Goes

Nani Ke Ola Blog Post

Hello!  It's my turn again to share something on the Nani Ke Ola Blog, and I have to say I had a ton of fun getting a little messy while making my layout.  I have shared a couple of layouts using lots of the Pink Fresh Studios Up in the Clouds collection pieces, but today's layout uses some water coloring a chipboard and the Studio Puffs, take a look...

 

Supplies Used:
Pink Fresh Studios Foil Die Cuts
Um Wow Studio Banner chipboard
Prima Color Blooms Gold Empress
Prima Water Color Pencils - The Basics
Water Color Brush Pen

I started this layout by laying some gesso onto the background paper.  Once that dried I dripped some of the Color Blooms in Gold onto my kraft mat and with water painted it over top.  I also chose to flick the brush lightly to slightly cover the page.  When I knew what photos I wanted to use I knew that I needed to dress my banner up in fun, but soft colors.  To do this I started by covering the front with gesso, and set to dry.  I then colored each pennant with various Prima Watercolor Pencils and painting them with water and a brush.  I then dipped that same brush in more of the gold Color Bloom Spray and went over the whole banner giving it a beautiful sheen in person.  The rest of the layout was brought together by mixing and matching various foil die cuts.

I am entering this into the Simon Say Stamp Monday Challenge: Pastels - my banner is full of pastel colors as are some of the pink embellishments :)

Stop by the Nani Ke Ola Store to grab some of these goodies for yourself, and thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you are having a wonderful week so far!

Happy Crafting!

Loving Pink Fresh Studios at Nani Ke Ola

*This is my second post for today!  Scroll down for a blue buffalo, I'm not kidding!
Hello!  Today I am sharing this layout here and on the Nani Ke Ola Blog!  Finally I was able to get my hands on some of the new products available at the Nani Ke Ola Scrapbooking Store and I was tickled pink to find the Pink Fresh Studio's newest collection there.  I ordered all of it, and double on lots of it hehehe!  So with that said let's get on to the first layout I have created with it...

Supplies Used:
Pink Fresh Studios Up in the Clouds Collection
Prima Marketing Color Bloom Spray: Empress Gold

To create this layout I started by spritzing my page with Prima Marketing Embress Gold Color Bloom Spray.  These sprays are fabulous!  They come in a nice sized bottle and have a nozzle stopper so no accidental sprays can happen.  ( This is really wonderful for us Mommies who have wandering hands around, hehehe! )  I love how bright this gold is and how perfectly it matched the Gold foil in the Up in the Clouds Collection.  I then added some layering behind the larger of the two photos and embellished with the foil die cuts.  You will also find a tiny strip of washi tape in the lower right hand corner which helps keep your eyes moving in a downward diagonal direction.

This layout was also inspired by the Scrap Our Stash Challenge #24 : Stencil - (S) - smile and spray (T) - tape more specifically washi tape (E) - Enamel Dot (N) - numbers in my journaling I say 2nd Birthday Photos (C) - circles hidden behind top photo (I) - Ink (L) - the word LOVE

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will get a chance to check out the new products available in the Nani Ke Ola Store!
Happy Crafting!
