I Chews You Valentine with Audrey!

Hello there!  Audrey here today with a punny watercolor card!  I actually used Lawn Fawn inks in Lobster and the new Plastic Flamingo (which happens to be the most perfect shade of pink!) to watercolor my background using the ink smooshing technique.  I tapped the ink pad on a piece of clear acetate, spritzed it with water, and pressed it into my watercolor paper, moving it around until I was happy with the ink distribution.  I started with Plastic Flamingo, and then dried that layer before adding small amounts of Lobster ink.  I stamped, colored and diecut the gumball machine and gumballs from the Sweet Smiles stamp set, and then added a piece of polkadot patterned paper from the Let's Polka Mon Amie 6x6 paper pad, topped with a Stitched Scalloped Border.  I created a custom sentiment using Violet's ABCs, and then matted the panel on a Scalloped Rectangle cut from red cardstock.  Before adding it to a red card base, I tied a bit of Peppermint Lawn Trimmings in a bow in the top right corner.

That's all for me today!  All supplies are listed and linked above!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! :)

Feliz Navidad

Hi everyone! Marina here! Of course, I will be doing something Christmas related! Hehe, I'm in such a Christmas mood so I hope this would give you some ideas if you are planning to make some christmas cards. If you're like me and you are stuck with the few christmas sets that you have, I hope this post will give you some ideas on how you can use your non- christmas sets to make a christmas card.

I know I did use the christmas sets to make this card but, you can look through the sets you can have pick up small items like gift boxes, flowers, starts etc to make your own background.  I used the tiny images from the baaah humbug set. I usually like to fill the whole card base but I thought I'll just put it at the bottom and use Peeled Paint Distress Ink to add quick colour. The red and gold are just some stickles. You can also use copics or other things that you have.

I used the violet's ABC to make my own customised sentiment to combine with the baaah humbug set. That's really it.  :D I hope you are inspired and I would love to see what cards you've been making.

I hope it will inspire you to find more looks for your stamps! Cheers!
