Create a Smile Stamps - April 2023 Release

hi there!
today I'm so excited to share my cards for the Create a Smile stamps April 2023 release!
all of the sets are so cute and fun and you can see them all here!

my first card uses the new Dream Big stamp set!

Dream Catcher Card by Samantha Mann for Create a Smile Stamps, Moon, Watercolor, Distress Inks, Card Making, Create a Smile Stamps, #createasmile #createasmilestamps #distressinks #watercolor #dreamcatcher #cardmaking

it's so dreamy and beautiful and the combinations you can create are endless! wow!
I used the moon image as my main dream catcher image! and then I couldn't help but color all of the beads and feathers in a rainbow pattern! of course!

for the background, I used Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina with some ink blending. then I used the same colors and added some watercolor texture on top! I think it adds a very whimsical and dream-like feel!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black cardstock and then fussy cut out around it! I also popped it up for some dimension.


my next card uses the suuuuuuuper cute Whaley Great stamp set!

I colored all of these images in with Copic Markers and then fussy cut them out! I also added some details with a white gel pen!

I used Distress Inks in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina along the edge of a card front. then I splattered some white acrylic ink on top. I popped up some of the critters with foam tape and then tore the edge of my card front and popped that up with foam tape!

I finished off the card with some sequins in the water!
