today we have the Little Lilies Stamp Set + coordinating Die and April Showers Stamp Set!
you can totally create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on April 20th, right here!
my first card is watercolor-y and bright!
I used Distress Inks (Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick and Mustard Seed) to create the watercolory, raindrop look by smooshing the ink pads directly onto the raindrop stencil I have.
then I spritzed it with water and pressed it on to my cardstock! so fun! and so easy!
then I spritzed it with water and pressed it on to my cardstock! so fun! and so easy!
then I heat embossed the beautiful sentiment in black and fussy cut out some butterflies from vellum! I placed them around the sentiment and added glitter to their wings!
my second card is sooooooo sweet!
I love that little lily image!
I I colored in the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut them out!
I used a circle die in my stash to create the shaped card and then, with Seedless Presevers and Wilted Violeet Distress Oxide Inks, I did some ink blending around one of the areas! then flicked some color on!
I LOVE the purple/green color combo and the soft kraft background really adds to the 'sweet' feeling to me! I also added some extra blooms with the small images!!
