Gears & Textures

 

If you are looking for some amazing inspiration you have come to the right place! Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge has gorgeous colors and images to get your mojo going! I was drawn to the pink and black dots and thought of the Gears & Textures Bundle.

I die cut so many different items that I was able to create 3 cards! 

This stamp set has great background stamps. 

I was having a hard time getting the white cards to really pop on the white background and so I decided to try it on black cardstock. What do you think? Below is a picture with the white background to compare. 

I am looking forward to what you create from all these beautiful pictures. Make sure to share your creations. Blessings! 

July has a new product of the month. The beautiful Begonia Belle Stamp Set. For only $5 you can order this stamp set with a purchase of $75.

Silly Old Bear Collection

 

Where are all my Pooh fans? I love all the adorable Winnie the Pooh characters and so when I saw that SU had a new bundle Silly Old Bear Collection I knew that I needed to get it all! I don't usually purchase everything from a collection but this was all too cute to pass up! I created a few quick and easy cards for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge for this weeks sketch challenge. Unfortunately, this is only sold in the US market due to copyrights. I know that is disappointing and I am so sorry if you are unable to purchase this suite!

These cards came together so fast! 

I love the cute images and the embossing folder is so fun!

I hope you are inspired to create with this sketch! Have a blessed day!

Capturing Smiles #2

 

Hi! When I was creating the card for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge for yesterday's card, I also created another watercolor idea that I had with the Capturing Smiles Bundle. For this card I started with a similar background as yesterday's card and when it was dry I stamped the camera with Pecan Pie Ink and then used a Water Painter to pull the color from the edges. I love the fun effect the colors all blending had on the camera.

For the sentiment I used an old paper pumpkin stamp set for the greeting and popped it up in the center. I would love to know what you think of this card? These 3 colors really complement each other so well!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Capturing Smiles Bundle

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge is a fun one for this week. I would normally not put these colors together but I found I loved the combo. I recently bought the Capturing Smiles Bundle and thought this would be a great color combo.

I played around with water and ink refills for the background. I stamped the camera and other pieces on Pecan Pie Cardstock and then used Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends to add dimension. I used an old paper pumpkin stamp set to add to the film strip the cake and birthday wishes. I thought it would make a fun masculine birthday card. 

I hope you are inspired to play with this color combo and I look forward seeing what you create!

Rose wonder

 

Hi! I am so glad that you are here. I am sharing another 2 cards that I created inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge and Kelly Taylor Cards. If you missed the card i created yesterday check it out. I had everything out and so I searched for another flower and did a little more practicing. I did find the larger flower a little more of a challenge. Especially to get the color to move in the water. I will have to keep working on the amount of water. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Blessings!

Hand Stamped Sentiments #489

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge for this week has some lovely images and colors. I loved the pink flowers and so I went through my stash and pulled out a retired stamp set. I was inspired by a video over at Kelly Taylor Cards. She white heat embossed and then applied a loose watercolor to the flowers. I am still practicing and can by no means say mine is half as good. If you haven't seen her videos and coloring you must check her out!

I had a lot of fun playing with ink refills and a water painter. 

I do have to warn you Kelly makes it look so easy however it is a little more difficult especially the part to let the water and ink do the work. I kept hearing her in my head saying just leave it, don't over work it. I do like the way that it came out. I think I may add a few sequins for a little bling, I think that is really missing.

I hope you get a chance to play along with the challenge this week. I look forward to seeing what inspires you!

Sunflowers

 

Do you have stamp bundles that you love that have retired? I really like this sunflower bundle and decided to use it for another idea for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge! I used the die cut of the outline of the flower for the second layer. I colored the stamps with stampin' blends. I hope this inspires you to join the fun and create with the sketch from this weeks challenge! Enjoy!
