Doodle Flower – Rachel Vass Designs

April 18, 2020

Happy Release day – Rachel Vass Designs. Today I am sharing the new release April Doodle Flower from Rachel Vass designs. You can find this new stamp and all of Rachel’s designs at her etsy shop here.

I started by working with the doodle flower in Microsoft Word. I layered 2 of the flower images together to create the slim line card. I printed my images on Canson Mixed Media paper. I colored in my flowers using my Arteza real brush pens. I used a combination of yellow, orange, and red. I completed several layers of color on the paper. I have found with this paper I start with the ink on my paper and then after a couple layers I add the ink to my glass mat, then bring it to the paper. I have found this method to work well, as this paper is thinner. Once my flowers were complete I added white dots to the stamens of the flowers with my gel pen. I added splatters across the panel and set it aside to dry.

Once my panel was dry I adhered my panel to a black card case. I added stickles to the center of each flower for added shine. I hope you enjoyed this card and I encourage you to visit Rachel’s shop for this new release, plus many other beautiful designs.

Have a great day! Crafty hugs,

Natasha

Hang in There – Graciellie Design

April 17, 2020

Hi everyone – it is release day at Graciellie Designs and today I am sharing the Hang in There digital stamp set. You can visit Graciellie Design shop to see the new release, as well as all the other beautiful sets!

I started by printing the wood board and sentiment on Canson Mixed Media paper. I found with the Mixed media paper I can color shortly after printing (the ink dries very quickly). I am enjoying that part! I colored my image in using my Arteza brush markers. On the floral image I added WOW embossing powder in Fairy Dust. I love all the glitter in this powder! I wanted to use my stash of patterned paper for this card. I created a layout for the back panel using a mix of papers. I also die cut a small heart using a heart die cut. I adhered my card together using the patterned papers and my stamps!

This completes my card for today! I can’t wait to see what you do with the new set – Hang in There!

Crafty Hugs,

Natasha

If you follow me or are new to my blog, thank you for stopping by! I am a huge fan of floral stamps and I LOVE to color! Today I am sharing the Love you Floral stamp – Brutus Monroe. This stamp is gorgeous! Flowers and color to me just say HAPPINESS! Don’t you agree….. Do you love to color flowers? What is your favorite type of card to make? I would love to know (comment below).

I started by stamping my floral image using Versa Fine Clair ink in Pinecone. I then used my Zig Clean Color brush markers to color in my image. I used a variety of shades of colors. I love coloring with my zigs. When my coloring was complete I used some colored pencils (Arteza) in the nooks and crannies for added dimension. In the center of each flower I added a gold Perfect pearls, and used my gel pen for added interest. I also added splatters to the floral sections of my card in gold, a light green, and a red. To complete my card I die cut the floral panel and adhered it to a purple panel, then adhered this to my card base. I used the sentiment Thankful for You – Super Sentimental Brutus Monroe. Foam mounted the sentiment and my card was complete!

I would love for you to comment below and sign up to follow my blog! I truly appreciate you stopping by and have fun on the hop!!!!!! Keep reading below …. to see where you will be going!!!!!
