You are Forever Beautiful – Unity Stamp Company

Hi everyone! I hope this post finds you well and healthy! Today is my son’s 15th birthday! It’s an exciting day for sure! Today I am sharing the beautiful stamp set – You are Forever Beautiful from Unity Stamp Company. I love this stamp and was so excited to color it in as a part of the daily marker from Kathy R.

I started by stamping this beautiful floral 2 times on Neenah 80lb card stock. I stamped the floral across the top and then the bottom too. I used memento ink black, for my stamping today, as I am using Altenew Artist Markers. For today’s coloring I started a bit different as I am trying to learn the best way for me to use alcohol markers. I started dark to light this time. What I love about these markers is that they come in a blending set already. So this helps me for sure! I colored this over a couple of evenings.

Once my coloring was complete I did add a little colored pencils into the nooks and crannies as well. I added a few gold stickles to various parts of the stamp for added shine. I chose a sentiment (Thank you) from Unity’s April Kit of the Month. I love this kit and just became a subscriber! The kits are amazing, full of AMAZING stamps and sentiments! Unity does offer several monthly kits and you can see more information here!

Brutus Monroe – Die of the Month

Hi everyone – I am back sharing the Die of the Month from Brutus Monroe! This is a beautiful die and perfect for spring! You can see the monthly subscriptions here. Crafty mail each month – how fun!!!!!! Be sure to visit the Brutus Monroe website today too – it is Christopher’s birthday and there are AMAZING sales!

I started by placing aqua pigments on a clear acrylic block. I used a large block for this. I used Turquoise and Cactus Metallic pigments. These pigments are so fun and full of so much color they are so easy to work with! I love the added sparkles in the metallics. I used an A2 sized piece of watercolor card stock and “smooshed” it against the block. I moved the paper around in different directions to achieve the colors I was looking for. Once it was done, I set it aside to dry. Once it was dry I placed it under a few heavy books to flatten out a bit. I then started to work on my sentiment. I stamped the Hello Beautiful from the Super Sentimental stamp set. I used a white embossing powder on a navy card stock from my stash. I used the same navy paper behind my butterfly die cuts.

When my panel was “flat” I ran it through my die cutting machine. It was so fun to see the beautful pattern of butterflies. These dies cut so beautifully too! I also ran it a second time on a piece of light blue card stock. I then glued the 2 pieces together. The pigment inks gave the front panel of butterflies such a beautiful look. I adhered these to my navy panel and attached them to my card base. I cut a few pieces of glitter card stock for added detail and glued these to the center of the card. I adhered the sentiment on foam tape, added a few sequins, and my card was compelte!

Dahlia Slim Card – Alex Syberia

Happy Monday crafty friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend and had a very nice Easter. I spent the day with my family and kids. It was fun to see my kids (18 and soon to be 15) go on an Easter egg hunt in the house! We had a lot of fun! Today I am sharing a beautiful new stamp set from Alex Syberia – Dahlia Slim card panel.

I started by printing the card panel on Bristol Smooth card stock. I used my zig clean color brush markers to color all the beautiful Dahilas. This panel was truly fun to color! I used several layers to add the color and depth to my florals. Once my coloring was complete I added splatters in several colors that are within my card.

To complete my card I added a sentiment from Hero Arts (Sending you Sunshine and Laughter) and the Hugs die is from (Simon Says Stamp). I layered this using a pink and black card stock). To compelte the card I adhered this to a black card panel.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Be sure to visit the Alex Syberia Design shop.
