One background stamp, two cards

Hello, and welcome to my blog.  I finally got my hands on Simon Says Stamp Floral Mix background stamp! It was in the mail when I got back from visiting family and it's amazing. I made two cards with it and below you'll see how it went 😃 Card #1 - coloring with watercolor pencils Frist I stamped the image on regular Neenah White cardstock. I know it would be better to do it on watercolor paper, but it's what I chose and I have used watercolor on regular cardstock before and it works fine 😊 But of course, nothing beats watercolors on watercolor paper.  Then I just used an oval die to cut out a piece. This is the pencils I used, nothing expensive, bought them from an online store here in Norway called Adlibris.  I felt I needed a background and I decided to use this stencil from Simon Says stamp with Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry on light pink cardstock.  Time to put the card together. I needed one more thing so I used an ov...

Hello and welcome to my blog!  This card was fun to make, a lot of coloring and fussy cutting and ink blending. I came up with an idea while at work and I sketched the design out. It's almost like the design I had planned. Almost 🤣 Even though it's just a sketch you can see I can't draw... What looks like weird clothes hangers are supposed to represent mermaids and the weird S-shape under the water is a sea horse... So glad I have stamps!! 😂  I started with stamping out all the stamps so I could color them. My plan was to use every piece and every mermaid on my card.  My second plan was to have the mermaids in rainbow colors so I started at the top and worked my way down in the order of the rainbow.  And since I don't have any dies for these I fussy cut out all the pieces...  At this point my idea from the sketch went out the door. I decided to do an underwater scene instead of and under and over the sea s...

A butterfly card

Hello and welcome to my blog!  This will be one of my entries into Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where the theme this week is "Make your own background", and I love making backgrounds so this will be perfect for me 😊 So with this card I did an alcohol ink background on Tim Holtz silver sparkle alcohol cardstock. I love how shimmery it gets.  Colors used: Dandelion Flamingo Turquoise Finished! 😁 I love how three colors can turn to different colors. I wished I had more purple shades, but I think it turned out great. You can't go wrong with alcohol inks!  😉 The background isn't done guite yet. I thought I would use a stencil and translucent embossing paste from Dreamveaver as texture. The stencil is Sunburst from Altenew.  Btw, love my Make Art Stay-TION from Wendy Vecchi! It's fantastic!  The paste goes on white but dries clear and the effect is great.  And this is what I ended up with 😊 I used th...
