thanks bunches and bunches and bunches and...

hello!
today I have this fun, floral card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

I just love these bright colors, and beautiful flowers!
so fun, right?
I stamped the images from Newton’s Blooms Stamp Set and Dainty Daisies Stamp Set and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I really wanted to make the card POP with all of the flowers! I added some details with a white gel pen. once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!

for the background, I used some white cardstock and did some ink blending with Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Inks. I also die cut out the frame using the Card Layout 3 Die Set from white cardstock. I popped it up with foam tape, and then placed the images on top!

I finished off the card by adding a few sequins to the flowers. I also heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock, and then trimmed it into a banner shape. the sentiment itself is also from the Dainty Daisies Stamp Set.

be sure to check this card out on the Newton's Nook blog, too!
enjoy!

 

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 223 - Summer Splash

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

summer themed cards are my favorite cards to make!

so fun!!
I just love making summer cards!

I started by stamping the images from Pool Party, On the Beach and Unicorn Picnic. then I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color in the images. I also added some details with a white gel pen. then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!

I did lots of ink blending for the background! first I used some white cardstock and the Stitched Ripple Background to create the fun watery texture. then I used another piece of white cardstock and die cut out the frame using the Peekaboo Backdrop. both pieces of white cardstock were ink blended with Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina Distress Inks. then for the bottom layer of the card, I splattered some water and the same ink color on top. 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice cardstock and then cut it down into a banner.
love how this card came out!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #222 - Thank You for Being a Friend

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

I just recently realized that I have a low amount of Thank You cards, so this is the perfect challenge for me! I can't wait to be inspired by all of the entries!

this is such a fun challenge!

I started by stamping the images from Critters in the Jungle and Critters in the Desert. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then added some details with a white gel pen. once eveyrthing was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

for the background, I used the Flippin' Awesome Add-on and lots of ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks. I used Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Tattered Rose for the sky. I used Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber for the ground.

the snakes were popped up with foam tape. and everything else was attached directly to the card.

I die cut the sentiment using the Henry's ABCs from Fog Cardstock. then I used the Basket Weave stencil and some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink to add a little scale-y texture!

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!

enjoy!
