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.

No nonsense

Hello...I have a scrapbook page that is colorful and easy to make.  I used a stencil called Flying Bird Doily by Balzer Designs for the background. I used Tim Holtz Distress inks to ink the stencil in picked raspberry, spiced marmalade, evergreen bough and mustard seed.

Here I added a cut file from iHeartStudio.

An embellishment cluster on the right side complete the layout. Bottle cap Basic Grey True Love, Love circle Kaiser Craft Tea Party, Fox tag Teresa Collins Nine & Co, Bird Kaiser Craft XO, Sweet tag & green bow American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neopolitan
