Faux Brush Lettering

Hi Everyone,
Today I'm sharing a card I made for PaperTrey Ink's Make it Monday challenge #246. I used the Wet Paint stamp set for the Thanks. I used distress inks to color the Thanks. I used Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac and Seedless Preserves for the watercoloring.  Then I used some watercolors to make splatters.  For the bouquet I used the Fresh Floral Wrap-ups set.  Then I topped everything with some Wink of Stella to give a nice shimmer and I added a few enamel dots. The card edge was made from a die Stitched borders from Pretty Pink Posh.

 In this photo you can see some of the Wink of Stella shimmer!

PTI Focal Clusters

Hi Everyone!
It's been so long since I have written a post. But, hopefully I will get back into the swing of things and update you with some things I have been making lately.  Today I wanted to share a card I made for the Paper Trey Ink Monday Challenge.  I like their weekly challenges as it is fun to use stamps and dies in ways I might not have thought of before.  This week it was about making focal clusters.

Here is the card I made using the Petite places Sweet Shoppe and the Keep it Simple Anniversary stamp sets.

I put the sweet shoppe and bike on some thin craft foam just to give it some dimension.  For the trees I used a leaf die cut from American Crafts Maggie Holmes Confetti collection.  Then I used some sparkly black embossing powder for the sentiment.

Here is a side view. Isn't that pink, striped awing so cute? I love it!

Thanks for joining it!
