Change is Coming x3 – Graciellie Design

March 22, 2020

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well and finding ways to relax and create as well! Today I am stopping in to share 3 cards with you! A good crafty friend of mine Deborah @rightbrainart (check her out on Instagram) recently posted a challenge… you choose a stamp set from your stash and create 3 cards with that set. How fun is this…. and she has prizes for the top 3 entries! You have until April 18th to post! Just be sure to tag #3xcardchallenge over on Instagram! Can’t wait to see what you make! I am also joining in on the fun… today I am sharing 3 cards using the new release from Graciellie Design – Change is Coming. Be sure to check this set out – it is BEAUTIFUL! I will share a brief description of each card, reach out to me if you have more questions!

For my first card I used the single butterfly from this stamp set. I was inspired by an image I found on the internet after searching bright colorful butterflies. I colored the image using my zig clean color brush markers. I added pearl gold sparkle embossing powder from WOW to sections of the wings. To create the polka dots on the black section of the wings I used a white gel pen. I used foam adhesive to adhere the sentiment and die cut the panel using a Gina Marie designs die. I used Nuvo Crystal Drops – in Ebony. I used a black piece of card stock on my A2 sized card for the background and adhered it all together.

For my second card I used the half butterfly again. I colored the stamped image using my zig clean color brush markers. I also added sparkles to the butterfly using a sparkle pen. I used a background I had previously created from my stash. I then die cut a circle and used an embossing folder (Jo Ann Fabrics) to add more dimension to my die cut circle. I used glitter paper to create the 3 strips across the bottom section of my card. I chose the sentiment Change is Coming. I added some drops in pink (older Stampin Up Kit), adhered it all together, and my card was complete.

In the above image you will see my 3rd card I created using the Change is Coming set. You can find more details on my previous post from March 20. I hope you enjoyed seeing 3 different ways to use this beautiful stamp set from Graciellie Designs. I encourage you to join in on the fun and create 3 cards using a stamp set of your choice! If you would like to join my design team friend Sandhya and I from Sanjus Creations , we also host a collab each month using a Graciellie Designs stamp set and we are using the Change is Coming set this month! Come join the fun! On Instagram be sure to tag us #gracielliedesigncollab

Wishing you a Happy Sunday and a healthy week! Hugs,

Natasha

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a page i Hello crafty friends!  Today I am sharing a page in my ATC journal. I had so much fun playing with foam stamps from @joggles to create backgrounds! The backgrounds were created using a mix of acrylic paint and watercolors. I then stamped on each background using a combination of foam stamps: Punchinella Dots, Number Stack, and Alpha Stack.  I was able to create textures using these stamps with both paint and water.

The backgrounds were used to create today’s project! Be sure to check out the collection of foam stamps @joggles - they are really cool and have a lot of possibilities!

For my project today I am using the beautiful Floral Elements stamp and coordinating die set! I started by creating ink smooshed backgrounds using Distress Ink. I then stamped and heat embossed the florals and leaves. I then die cut them with the new coordinating dies. I added more depth and color using Distress Watercolor Pencils. I created the background panel using the Blue Palette Paper Collection, as well as a baseboard frame, and the blossom field embossing folder. I completed the project with a Tiny Text sentiment and die cut using the new coordinating sentiment strip dies! I love the new shapes in this die set!
