Happy Mother’s Day – Graciellie Design

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a good week! I am back sharing the newest release from Graciellie Design – Happy Mother’s Day! This set is beautiful, it has 2 beautiful floral images and 8 different sentiments included in this release!

I started by printing my image on Nennah solor 80 lb card stock. For my coloring today I used my alcohol markers. This is a coloring medium I want to work on for myself, so I thought this is the perfect set to do this. I used a variety of shades for each section of the image. Once my coloring was done I added a bit of color to the nooks and crannies as well. I then used my Brother Scan and cut to fussy cut the image. I then added WOW embossing powder to different sections of the floral image using Fairy Dust embossing powder. I love the added shine of this powder!

I then used an embossing folder from Jo Ann Fabrics to create the panel background for my card base. I foam mounted both my sentiment and floral cluster and my card was complete! I hope you will visit Graciellie Design shop to see the beautiful new release and more!

Have a great weekend and stay healthy!

Plant Hope – Unity Stamp Company

Hi everyone! Welcome back! I am excited to share a beautiful new digi stamp release from Unity Stamp Company. It is called Plant Hope! This set is beautiful. When you purchase this set you will have access to the individual image and sentiments, as well as pre-made card panels! These are perfect for coloring, foiling, and sending out a little happy mail! You can see this release, as well as the other new digi releases at Unity Stamp Company.

To begin I started by using a pre made card panel. I started by printing this on Canson Mixed Media paper. I have loved this paper for my digital images lately and using my water based markers. For this card I used my Tombow brush pens. When I do work with digi stamp sets I do work directly in Microsoft word. I have found it to work very well. I am happy to help with that as well, feel free to ask my any questions.

When I use my water based markers I always tape down my paper onto a board or clipboard, to prevent warping. I used many different colors for today’s project. I love color and bright flowers! I had fun mixing colors to create these blooms.

When I was done coloring I used my metallic water colors to add splatter. Adding splatter to my cards is one of my favorite details to add! I then set this aside to dry. Once my panel was dry, I used a Hero Arts die to trim the panel. I started by trimming to a full A2 sized card panel. I then chose another die (2 sizes) smaller to trim the panel one more time. I then glued the middle section onto a foam base. I then glued both parts to my card base.

What is your favorite detail to add to a card?

Congratulations – Brutus Monroe

Happy Monday everyone! I hope this post finds you doing well! I am excited to share with you a new card using the Stencil of the Month – from Brutus Monroe. This stencil is so beautiful and was the perfect way to create a Congratulations card. You can also visit Brutus Monroe to see the amazing sales they have going on as well!

To begin I started by placing one side of the stencil on Bristol Smooth paper. The stencil has a square in the middle, I placed washi tape across this section as I was only using the outer portion of the stencil. I then began to ink blend. I used a combination of distress oxides inks in: Abandoned Coral, Sqeezed Lemondae, and Picked Rasperry. Once my blending was complete I added glitter glaze -Unicorn over the top. I then removed my stencil and let the panel dry. Once the panel was dry, I did the other half of my card panel by following the same process.

I then used a piece of pink card stock and cut it down to size to fit between the 2 glittery sides. I adhered this to the card panel. I then stamped Congratulations on white card stock and used foam tape to adhere it to the center of the pink. The congratulations stamp is from Super Sentimental – Brutus Monroe.

I hope you enjoyed seeing another way to use this new stencil! I hope you enjoyed my card for today!

Have a great day- crafty hugs,

Natasha
