Thinking About You!

Good morning!  Jess here to share a super sparkly card!  My card fits with our current challenge, Thinking Of You!

I recently purchased Winter Penguin and thought he'd look fabulous skating along an icy winter scene!

To create my card I swiped distress inks in Wild Honey, Dried Marigold, Worn Lipstick, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, and Seedless Preserves across a piece of white cardstock.  Then I swiped Black Soot distress ink around the colors and carefully swiped the edge of the pad between and over the colors to create a northern lights effect.  I let it dry completely and then I covered the cardstock with versamark and poured holographic embossing glitter over the panel.  I tapped off the excess and heat embossed it to create that super glittery background!

Next I stamped my penguin in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored him with copics and fussy cut him!  I cut the snowy hill with white cardstock and heat-embossed the sentiment from Scripty Sayings with silver embossing powder.  I popped up my penguin with foam tape and adhered the hill to my glittery background.  I wanted it to look like my penguin had scraped the sentiment into the ice with his little skates! :)

I encourage you to play along with a card using hope, love, encouragement, or thinking of you as your theme!  For more inspiration check out the current entries in the challenge...there are some fabulous cards there!

Scripty watercolour

Hello. 

I am  thrilled to be here with my first post. 

I wanted to combine two of my favourite things.....

Watercolour and scripty fonts.

I have 3 very different looks featuring both to show you.

First up I have gone all out rainbow ...another favourite thing :)

To start i simply heat embossed the scripty "thank you" from scripty sayings stamp set repeatedly in white. 

I staggered them so that they were not all on top of one another.

Then to add the colour i used some watercolour markers.

I drew on the colour then loosened it with  a very wet water brush.

Once that was all dry i die cut the scripty thanks and left the background white, although id like to try with black as i think there would be a better contrast.

Again have have stamped the scripty sentiment more than once however this time i used archival ink in black.

I changed the colours to and love how different it looks compared to the first rainbow of colours.

And finally very clean and simple with minimal watercolour.

The sentiment is again stamped in black archival ink as I'm using watercolours.

I used the long tail from the sentiment as somewhere to place the little flower from Gleeful gardens.

The flower was coloured with the same watercolour markers and once dried i added some wink of stella and glossy accents to it. 

All three cards are finished simply with some clear sequins.

Thanks do much for looking.
