Reckless Love with Joy Clair

Hello beautiful friends!

I have a new post for Joy Clair Stamps today! 

I used the stamp set "Reckless Love". It's part of the Color By Faith Series, but you can definitely use it for more than just bible journaling! In fact, I used it today to make a handmade card and a bookmark!

Here is the handmade card I created for you:

It's a simple card to make! I started by stamping  the flowers and leaves multiple time, then colored with watercolor pencils. The focal sentiment was stamped in a Verdent Green Versafine Clair ink.  The embellishments came from my stash - I'm really trying to use up a lot of my stash this year before investing in more supplies!

As a bonus, I also created this beautiful BOOKMARK using the same stamp set!

I hope you enjoy it! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon.

MHKDesigns - Designer Spotlight March 2018

Hello friends!

I am really excited to share with you my March Designer Spotlight for MHKDesigns!  This month we are showcasing a beautiful Easter set called "Blessed Lily"

Here is what I created:




I am still loving all things water color, so that is exactly what I did! I printed off the digital image and used my Close to My Heart & SNS Pearlescent Watercolors to color.  Hints of Nuvo Crystal Drops were added to accent the lily.  A little piece of purple lace peeks out from behind the image to give a feminine touch.

See you soon!

SparkleNSprinkle - Irish Blessings #1

Hello friends!

I have a super fun "lucky" card to share with you today for SparkleNSprinkle!  I created this card using the Irish Blessings Stamp Set!

Supply List:

Irish Blessings Stamp Set #834B

Palm Green Embossing Powder EP372

Versamark Ink VM-001

Luau Green Glitter - GM2004

2.5" Tear-ific Tape SAT11

Crystal Drops - Metallic Bright Gold - 653N

Embellishment Mousse - Indian Gold 802N

Black Detail Embossing Powder - EP171

1/4" Tear-ific Tape - SAT01

I started by stamping my main horseshoe image using Versamark Ink and embossing with Black Detail Embossing Powder (my go-to powder for outlining!).  I colored in the image using ShinHan TwinTouch Markers.  Using the Versamark, I stamped some of the clovers around the image and embossed with Palm Green Embossing Powder. I took a second piece of white cardstock and inked up the entire panel with the Versamark Ink Pad (just tapping it around randomly).  Then, I sprinkled on the Palm Green Embossing Powder and heat set - creating a really cool background.

Next, I set to work on my flowers!  I took a piece of 2.5" Tear-ific Tape and applied it to a piece of white cardstock. I punched out my shapes and then simply peeled off the adhesive backing and applied my Luau Green Glitter (burnishing well!).  So quick and easy!

 

I used the Mini Blender Brush  to apply Indian Gold Embellishment Mousse to all the edges of my paper pieces.  I stamped the Good Luck sentiment in with Versamark Ink and embossed with Black Detail Embossing Powder.  I followed the same stamping pattern with the clovers around the sentiment, and rubbed on some of the Indian Gold Embellishment Mousse to further accent the pieces. 

 

All the layers were adhered with 1/4" Tear-ific Tape. To add that finishing touch, Bright Metallic Gold Enamel Drops were added to accent the horseshoes and corners. 

 

I'm also entering this card in the Cardz4Galz Challenge #42 - Name Your Powder!

I hope you enjoy this card and I can't wait to share more with you next time!
