Oh Happy Day........from Little Blue Button Stamps

Hi there.....

Here today with another amazing image from Little Blue Button Stamps, called Wishing Charlie.

I know I might have mentioned before, but I feel like I can never have enough birthday cards, so I decided to make another using this image....it could also be used to adorn so many other great things for a birthday, invitations, a gift bag and so much more.

I watercolored this image using distress markers and added some stickles and wink of stella glitter brush pens to make her sparkle a little.

I also decided to use the falling hearts stencil from SSS, with some embossing paste and then dusted it with some pink glitter embossing powder.

This digi stamp set is so great because it comes with some great accessories, the candle, a Happy Birthday banner flag and also a set of numbers to add some great detail.

Thanks for reading through and looking at my creation, hope you enjoyed.

Kith and Kin Stamps....Ella Ballerina

Hi there.....here again with a design team post for Kith and Kin Stamps using the great Ella Ballerina image.

So I have to say that although I may have not done this image justice with my coloring, I feel like it still turned out pretty good.

So I have been trying out different watercolor papers, just for my own knowledge and this one....well you can see it took the bottom of the list.  Just wasn't good at blending and the ink did bleed when I put water on it....so I had to be extra careful and go really light on the color.

But I figured I would pop her up on a card using this speech bubble die from Lawn Fawn.  Also I added some sequins to add a little sparkle and the Happy Birthday die to just finish off the sentiment.

Hope you enjoyed taking a peek.  Head on over to Kith and Kin Stamps for this and so many other great images.

Thanks for stopping by.

Treats for our four-legged friends........

Hi there....

Here today with a design team post for Kith and Kin Stamps using the Max digital image, so cute and thought what better kind of project then a treat can to hold some snacks for our four-legged buddies.

I first printed out the image on strathmore watercolor paper, then colored him up using distress markers.

Then I adhered the image to two stacked square die cuts, with some foam adhesive.  Then added some embellishments.

I cut some dog treat patterned paper and lined the paint can to make it a little more interesting.

Really enjoyed making this project, can't wait to give it to someone as a gift.

Hope you enjoy and head on over to Kith and Kin Stamps for this and lots of other great images, also catch them on facebook and like them for this and other great ideas for using their images.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just another "love note".........

Happy February everyone, while it was raining 'green and blue' here in Seattle yesterday, I was creating a little love note!

I used this sweet image Swiss Miss Rosalie from C.C. Designs and colored her with Prismacolor pencils and blended the colors together using a blending stump and odorless mineral spirits, a technique I learned from Amy Rysavy.  The technique is a little like water coloring, but it's a little more controlled I feel like and you can use a thick 100# cardstock and the paper won't break down at all.

So the stencil I used was 6x6 Polka Dot from Heidi Swapp and I tinted some Martha Stewart white texture paste with a red faber castelle gelato.  I just mixed together a little of the gelato and paste and then wiped it right over the stencil.  It dried pretty quickly so I didn't have to wait long and I think it turned out great, made it look a little like stucco, but kind of a cool effect.

To assemble the card, I ran some Lifestyle Crafts heart dies through my cuttlebug, added a bow and sentiment from Just a Love Note (designed by Kristina Werner) , then used a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Pen on the three little hearts.

On the inside of the card, I just used some of the remaining die cut hearts and stamped another sentiment from Just a Love Note (designed by Kristina Werner).

And that finishes off this card, hope you like it.  Leave a comment and let me know what you think or if you have any questions send me an email.

Have a great day. =)
