Sending Hedgehogs

This card was made from the Lawn Fawn stamp and dies Hedgehogs.  I stamped the hedgehogs in Archival Ink, then colored them with Tim Holtz distress ink markers.

For the background I cut out a circle from masking paper and then used distress inks to blend the background. Then I removed the mask and die cut another scalloped circle to go over the background. The sentiment was heat embossed on vellum, and the heart was covered with glossy accents to add a pretty sheen.  To assemble the card, the hedgehogs were mounted with foam tape,

Welcome Little One

For this card I made a watercolored background from gelatos.  Then I added some Sparkly paint splotches (the sparkle is hard to photograph, but it sparkles in real life with gold flecks).  Then I colored the stamped image using distress ink markers, die cut the images out and the placed them on the card using foam tape to add dimension. I'm entering this card in the Avery Elle Challenge for July.

To complete the card I added the sentiment. I was heat embossed on vellum. The stamped images are from Avery Elle Storybook collection.

Colored plate

Hi Everyone! A quick post because I wanted to play along with the Monday Challenge at PaperTrey Ink...

I colored the Luxe Background plate with my Copic Markers R22,24,89.  Then I used distress inks to color the background.

For the sentiment I used PaperTrey Inks Think Big Favorites #3 and the flower is from the Beautiful Brushstrokes set.

Thanks for taking a look!

A Day in Paris

Today I am sharing a watercolored card that is influenced by the March Simon Says Stamp card kit.  The kit has beautiful papers from Authentique called Classique beauty that have a French flair to them. Be sure to check out the How to Video either on YouTube or at the bottom of today post.
