Love Is In The Air

I'm playing along with Simon Says Stamp Challenge this weekend and made a wedding/anniversay theme card. I started out by stamping the heart constellation using black ink. Then I started ink blending from center of heart towards outside. I used distress ink squeenze lemonade, spiced marmalade, fired brick and seedless preserve. To finish off I splattered some big water dropplets to break up the blended colors.


I'm submitting this card to the following challenges.

 
Supplies used in this card:
  • Lawn Fawn upon a star stamp set (LF)
  • Waffle Flower Popping In stamp set (WF)

An Ocean Full Of Thanks

I'm sharing a card today that's a little out of my comfort zone primarily because the color theme is darker than I normally use. Also I used quite a few die cut shapes that I normally don't use.

I first die cut the cover-up window frame with white cardstock. The background pattern paper came as a part of the Hero Arts card kit along with the mermaid stamp set. Similarly the card kit came with coral die and different kinds of sea weed dies. I die cut these ocean elements first on watercolor paper then colored them with Daniel Smith watercolor. I also colored the mermaid with watercolor. For the shaker components, I used mostly clear beads with a little bit of sparkle sequins. Finally I assembled all the shaker frames and background, and adhered them to a piece of grey cardstock.
