My Christmas Wish

Hello!
Samantha M here, and today I'm sharing a cute little card with my new favorite Christmas image, Winter Unicorn!

I colored that little guy with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers, and then popped him up over the background!
And speaking of the background, I used Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio Distress inks to create an abstract little scene!

I also used that tiny list image from the Baaah Humbug stamp set! A little glitter on the horn finished off the card! :)
Hopefully this card made you smile and chuckle to yourself!
Be sure to check back here on Monday, when a NEW challenge will start...any guesses?!

Beep beep!

hello!

Samantha M here, and today I'm sharing the first of my (many to come!) Christmas cards! lol!
So let's get to it:

Aw, love that ADORABLE cute, car from the new Home for the Holidays stamp set! I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and fussy cut it out!

The background of the insta-scene was created with Distress Inks and water and lots of watercoloring! The snow was created with a stencil and some embossing paste! I used the #awesome die set to create that fun scene, all on the SUPER COOL white woodgrain paper!

I heat embossed the sentiment from the new Merry Messages stamp set! Love those sayings on that set!!
This card has a little bit of a hint as to what the new challenge that starts on Monday will be...can you guess?

Thanks again for checking out my card!

You're Fintastic, Best Fishes

Hey everyone! Christy here. I'm super excited to be featured on the blog today with another card for our Rainbow Challenge! A friend from my writer's group is moving away, so I decided to make a tri-fold card with a peek-a-boo window, depicting a fish transitioning from a tank into the ocean.

I combined images from Lawn Fawn's Fantastic Friends with a few from Mermaid For You for a little more variety. These sets play so nicely together. I created my background by drawing waves on some Bristol Smooth Surface paper using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens, then watercolored right over top and flicked on additional clean water for a bubble effect. I also watercolored my images in a rainbow of colors to fit our challenge.

I then glued my Bristol to the second panel of my tri-fold card and stamped a sentiment on the center panel, leaving plenty of white space for the entire group to write their messages. It was a big hit at her Going Away Party this week, and she said she's going to keep it up on her desk in her new home to remember us all by.

Our challenge ends this evening, so still have a few hours to enter if you haven't had a chance yet. I can't wait to see all your gorgeous rainbow colored projects! The winner will receive a FREE stamp set of their choice from Lawn Fawn! Definitely a great incentive.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Watercolor Waving Hello with Christy

Hey crafty friends! Good morning! It's Christy here with another card for our current challenge: Distress Mania! I created by background by blending on a whole bunch of Distress Inks, Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs, Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Evergreen Baugh, and a little Pine Needles. Then I took a paintbrush and flicked some water over top and blotted it away with a paper towel for an even more distressed look.

Then I watercolored my images from Mermaid For You with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens, popping some of them up with foam tape and gluing others flat to the card to create the look of dimension. I thought I was done, but while snapping the photos, the mermaid's tail was just crying for some glitter, so I added some Stickles for a fun pop of sparkle here and there.

I hope you enjoy it! You still have a week to play along in our Distress Mania challenge. Hope to see your projects there!

I Love Fall!

Good morning!  Jessica here sharing a card celebrating my favorite season of the year, fall!  I combined a bunch of my favorite fall-themed Lawn Fawn sets and did a little no-line watercoloring!

I stamped the fox from Into the Woods, the pumpkins from So Thankful, and the foliage from Blissful Botanicals onto watercolor paper with a second generation stamping of antique linen distress ink.  Using a second generation stamping provides a very faint line to help with watercoloring.  Next I scribbled various zig clean color real brush markers onto my acrylic block and watercolored the images with a #2 paintbrush.  After they dried completely I fussy cut each image and set them aside while I worked on the rest of the card.  

For the background I inked up the woodgrain stamp with perfect medium and stamped it onto kraft cardstock.  Then I sprinkled on a couple metallic shades of perfect pearls powder and swirled them onto the stamp with a soft brush before buffing them off with a swiffer cloth.  Finally to seal the perfect pearls I spritzed it with water and dried it with my heat gun.  I stamped the sentiment onto the card and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder.  Then I colored the heart with a red marker, went over it with clear wink of stella glitter, and applied a layer of glossy accents.  

Next I started assembling my card...I trimmed down the kraft cardstock and mounted it to a chocolate brown card base.  Then I added my watercolored images.  The foliage, fox, and large pumpkin were adhered with my ATG gun and the small pumpkin was adhered with foam mounting tape for a little added dimension.  I went over the pumpkins, the foliage, and the pinks of the fox's ears with clear wink of stella glitter, and finished the card with a handful of metallic gold sequins!
