SUNNY DANDELIONS

I'm feeling sunny today with some whimsical dandelions and watercolor. 

I'm using one of the new releases from Technique Junkies, plus an oldy favorite.

MODERN DANDELIONS

SIMPLE SENTIMENTS 3B

I love the Simple Sentiments sets from Technique Junkies. If you haven't checked them out yet, you should! There are 9 different compilations which include black text, white text in a black box, and vertical. I find myself using these sets over and over (and over!) again.

This card was created by first stamping and heat embossing the dandelions with clear embossing powder (in hind site, I think white would work better). I then did a wash of watercolor with shades from yellow to orange. I trimmed it down and attached it to an A2 card base. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in black and trimmed the strip down. That was attached using foam tape. A couple of dimensional dots finished off the card.

I've got a beautiful card I will be sharing on their blog next Wednesday (7/22/20) so I hope you come visit me there as well!

Til next time,

Keepin' it inky!

SUMMER BARN (S845) - NEW!
Simple Sentiments Set 2 Style B (SS02b)

I am in absolute LOVE with this stamp! I stamped it in black ink and colored it in with Polychromos Pencils. A little sticker border and stamped sentiment finished off the card.

DANDELIONS IN THE WIND (S866) - NEW!
Weed or Wish (SD694)

I happen to love dandelions. Whether they are sunny yellow or ready to blow in the wind. The beauty of these dainty blooms was captured by using silver embossing powder. I added a silver edge to the panel with Nuvo Glimmer Markers, and the sentiment is from an older set (another dandelion favorite of mine) stamped with black ink on silver cardstock.

FLORAL CARD FRAME (S872) - NEW!
Kindness Matters (SDX026)

This frame stamp is so delicate and so elegant. I felt all it needed was a very simple sentiment. The image was stamped in black ink and the flowers were colored with markers.

WISH UPON A STARFISH (SD1031) - NEW!

What a fun stamp! The image was stamped on a card panel and masked off. I added some blow marker spray in blue and green. The image was colored in with both Nuvo Glimmer Markers and Kaisercraft Gel Pens. Both pen types add a wonderful shimmer and sparkle to your colored projects.

MODERN DANDELIONS (S868) - NEW!Simple Sentiments Set 2 Style B (SS02b)

Another absolutely adorable dandelion stamp makes its debut this month. This is going to be a fun one to play with...I have so many ideas! For this one, I stamped and embossed the flowers, added some gold stickers, and stamped the sentiment in black onto gold cardstock.

STAYS AT THE BEACH (SD1030) - NEW!

What an absolutely adorable stamp! Love the little top hat and pearls! You could change out the sentiment and this would make an adorable wedding or anniversary card! For this card, I stamped the image in black in and used both Polychromos Pencils and Nuvo Glitter Markers to add some color and shine. I found some sand printed paper for a background and added a couple of small shells to finish off the card.
