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

Doodle Flower – Rachel Vass Designs

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
