I stamped the line image multiple times on water color card stock with a light shade of Distress inks and then water colored it with Distress inks I then drew detail lines on the petals to add some depth and dimension. To finish I stamped the sentiment in black.

For my second card I went with grey card stock with a pop of red...

Spellbinders - Holiday Die D-Lites Take 2

Hello friends! I am back with Take 2 of Spellbinders newest Holiday D-Lites collection and I have created a card using DIE D-LITES REINDEER ETCHED DIES and DIE D-LITES SNOWFLAKES ETCHED DIES 2018 HOLIDAY collection.

Let me show you the card, I created... I wanted to stick to traditional Christmas colors and make the reindeer the focal point.
To make this I took a white card stock panel and drew the sunburst using a ruler and a pencil. I then masked and inked them in Red Distress inks. I die cut the reindeer, did some inking on the edges to give some dimension and depth. I then layered the pieces to build the reindeer. Splattered some water on inked panel. I also added die cut snowflakes and finished the card with a sentiment.

These are the products, I used Die D-Lites Snowflakes. Die D-lite Reindeer and sentiment from CAS-ual Friday's Stamps ...

Spellbinders - Holiday Die D-Lites !

Hello friends! I am back with more Spellbinders goodness :) We all love Holidays season and now is the perfect time to build up your holiday greeting collection. Thank you Spellbinders for sending these goodies to help me kick start my holiday cards. Today I have the newest Holiday D-Lites collection to showcase and I have created a couple of cards using DIE D-LITES SNOWFLAKES ETCHED DIES 2018 HOLIDAY collection.

Let me show you the cards, I created... I wanted my snowflakes to shine so I die cut these using silver glitter card stock. For my first card I kept the tones neutral to make the snowflakes the star of the card. 
To make this I took a grey card stock panel and embossed it with snowflakes. twice along the opposite edges. I also die cut some flourish using the Spellbinders Large Die of the month - Aug 2018 in white card stock. I then arranged it on white base as seen. I added some pearls for embellishment and silver heat embossed sentiment to finish my card. I also scored lines on card base for the lower edge.

My second card is more on the bright side. Making glitter paper the star.
To make this I took three colors of glitter paper and cut out stripes of varying thickness from each. I then adhered them on a panel diagonally. Once this was done, I embossed the snowflake. Here is the fun trick... I embossed and then place the silver die cut snowflakes in the embossed areas to give an inlaid look without actually inlaying it. In laid die cutting would have been really time taking for this one :D To finish I added this panel over a sliver strip at the base. Stamped the sentiment on vellum, added silver sequins to finish the card.

These are the products, I used Die D-Lites Snowflakes. Large Die of the month club kit - Aug 2018 and sentiment from CAS-ual Friday's Stamps ...

To make this card, I did some stamping and my favorite water coloring to build the under water scene :) The water colors used are Gansai Tambi :)

Here, is an example of a card where I was inspired by the patterned paper for the colors.
I used the patterned paper and cut out the car, starfish using the dies and the card stock included in the kit. I then simply arranged it on the card along with embellishments like silver thread, foiled sticker and epoxy sticker.

Lastly, I made a summery card. I had to coz summer is about to end ;)
For this card, I cut out the scallop edge from patterned paper. I picked two Popsicle die cut shapes. On the base panel I did some ink smooshing to match the colors of the Popsicle. I then arranged it along with epoxy star stickers and foiled stickers. Fun and easy!

I had so much fun. I think this is an amazing kit that gives you a lot of possibilities.

Spellbinders - CUPPA COFFEE, CUPPA TEA by Sharyn Sowell

Hello dear friends! I have been sharing loads of inspiration using some of the new products from Spellbinders for a while now. I feel so thrilled to be guesting with them and sharing all my creations. Today I am back to share a couple more cards showcasing the new CUPPA COFFEE, CUPPA TEA BY SHARYN SOWELL collection.

I love the combination of pinks/ velvet with beige/ brown. I wanted to work with these colors and incorporate them into my designs in two different ways :)

For this card I die cut the Blooming Brew die twice one in soft pink and another in beige card stock. I then layered those slightly offsetting one. I layered these on beige panel paired with a patterned paper that had similar color scheme (from Anna Griffin collection) To finish I added some sequins and die cut Tea sentiment.

For my second card, I took a kraft card stock panel and scored lines all across. I then die cut a water color card stock with the Blooming brew die. I then water colored with using Distress inks by simple rubbing it over inks on an acetate sheet. To finish I added some embellishments and coffee word die and stamped the sentiment (from Stamplorations Coffee Happy set)


I have played with SHAPEABILITIES BLOOMING BREW ETCHED DIES and DIE D-LITES BUT FIRST COFFEE ETCHED DIES CUPPA COFFEE, CUPPA TEA COLLECTION BY SHARYN SOWELL

Lastly, I made a card using the dies included in this kit. I so love it
