Hello friends! I hope you are all doing well. Spring is well on its way where I live in North Florida. I love everything about this season except for the pollen. It is brutal this year.  Our friends over at Taylored Expressions have some new masking stencils that are scalloped that can now be layered with the original shape. I started by blending guava ink onto peaches n cream cardstock using the square masking stencil. Then using the negative piece from the stencil, I covered up my freshly blended square. Then I placed the scalloped square stencil onto the cardstock, secured it and then blended the scalloped border with fruit punch ink. The floral image was stamped using a Misti, for perfect placement and to have a nice solid image. At first glance the "thanks" looks like a die cut, but it was stamped multiple times in black ink. Very carefully, I cut the entire square and flowers out with scissors. If you look in the corner of the floral leaves you can see the peaches n cr...

  I recently guest designed for Concord & 9th . To me they represent clean and graphic. They have stamps for the stamper who loves to diecut and as well as line images for those who like to color. Here are some of my favorite cards that I made using their February release! Concord and 9th also has a beautiful line of cardstock as well as coordinating inks, which makes creating that much easier. Currently they are releasing their March release, and it looks amazing!!

  Thank goodness for stamping and creating, because it is such a wonderful way to spend my time. Trying to focus on being grateful everyday, and finding small joys. It isn't easy, but I like living in gratitude, it forces yourself to look at the world differently. January is wilding out, thinking its December 43rd, 2020. Nah dawg, its 2021, time to be better lol.  Anyhow, today I am sharing a few cards using the new Hex Kit from Taylored Expressions .  Since I was using 3 different inks on a red rubber stamp, using a MISTI was so beneficial to perfect placement each time. Once the outline of the hexagons were stamped, I grabbed the coordinating hex stencil and ink blended inside the hexagons using blender brushes and the same exact inks. A sentiment and few roses were stamped in the center positions.  Inside of the Hex Kit, there is a clear stamp set. Using the outline image of the hexagon, I stamped the image in multiple colors, then stamped the inside with one of...

Hello friends.  Today I am sharing a watercolored card with you today.  For this particular card, I new I was going to be using pigmented water colors (sennelier) and a lot of water, so I used Arches water color paper. This card probably took 2 days to create, only because I fully allow the paper to dry before adding additional color, when I don't want colors to bleed into each other.  Some of the red and yellow did, because I laid those colors at the same time. The images and sentiment are in the Lily Wishes stamp set (now on sale) from Technique Tuesday.  I love coloring in their florals with watercolors! To embellish I added clear Nuvo drops. materials used Technique Tuesday Lily Wishes stamp set Sennelier water colors Da Vinci water color brush Arches water color paper kraft card stock foam adhesive
