Simple Father's Day Card

Hello!  I love stamping and this card was simple to make with a stamped background.  I stamped the mushrooms.  I then used the back of some clear stamps for the circles of colors.  I went through some of my clear stamp sets to find the shapes I wanted then stuck the stamps upside down on acrylic blocks to stamp the colored blobs/circles.  The sentiment was stamped with Black Versafine ink on velum then heat embossed using clear embossing powder.  I folded the ends of the velum strip around the card stock and taped it on the back.  I adhered the front panel to a black layer of cardstock with a piece of fun foam in between for dimension.  This is a simple card I'm using for fathers day as it is also great for mailing.

I hope you share your work at A Blog Named Hero's Summertime Fun Challenge.

Out of this World Birthday

Something relaxing to me about swirling around watercolors to create a galaxy background. But I don't think it looks like much until I add the white splatter for the stars.  While the background was drying I colored the planets and rocket with Copics.  I fussy cut the colored images out.  I adhered the planets to background.  The rocket has a piece of clear thread taped to it.  The black diecut panel has a piece of diecut foam adhered to it.  I adhered the ends of the thread for the rocket in between the foam and black cardstock so the rocket moves a bit when the card is shaken.  I forgot to emboss the sentiment on the front of the card until after I stuck it all together.  I tried to heat emboss the sentiment in white on the front but it was a mess.  So I ended up adding the sentiment on a white strip of cardstock (which covered my failed embossing attempt). I finished my card off with dash lines using a white gel pen and some clear Nuvo Drops on the rockets window.

I used Lawn Fawns "Puffy Stars" dies and "Out Of This World" stamps for this card.  I am sharing this card at Lawn Fawnatics.

Have a great weekend.

Father's Day Watercoloured Card

With Father's day approaching I need to work on some masculine cards, a genre I find challenging.  I enjoy ink smooshing so this card was fun.  I used to different shades of Distress Ink.  I smoosh the ink pad one color at a time on my ink pad.  I spritz the ink with water making it bead then tapped the watercolour cardstock into the ink.  I dry in between layers of ink, adding more colour until I like the results.  Once it was dry I stamped the waves with Distress ink then stamped and embossed the little boat.

I applied some ink through a wave stencil to a card a base and finished the card off with some dots of Nuvo Drops.

My card is for this months Happy Little Stamper's Watercolour Challenge.

Tropical Foliage Birthday Card

The current challenge at A Blog Named Hero is "Watercolor".  I think watercoloring is my favorite way to add color to a card.  For my card I spritzed water on a card base with a mister than sprinkled on Lime Green Colorburst Powder.  I used my heat tool to dry in between adding layers of color.   I then heat embossed the leaf background with clear embossing powder.  For the next layers of color I used a small amount of Turqoise Colorburst and Cobalt Blue Colorburst.  Once the color was dry I ironed off the clear embossing powder.  

I placed a clean piece of printer paper over top then used a dry iron to heat the embossing powder.  The paper absorbs the embossing powder.  If I wanted the leaves to be shiny I would not remove the clear embossing powder.

I finished off the card with some gold thread and the sentiment which is heat embossed in white.  I added some dimension with fun foam between the front layer and the green layer.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope to see your watercoloring in the challenge at A Blog Named Hero.
