You Are Beautiful

Good morning! Dropping by this morning with another new release card from Unity Stamp Company - as well as a Quick Tip video. I love these new curvy Angie girls - and this one was just so perfect I didn't even color it in!


Here is the video - showing how to use border dies on a card like this one:


I added some distress ink to the edges of the white panel, and used a light cream Copic marker just to outline the image to make it pop - hard to see in the photos, but it is a fun effect.

Black and White with a Pop of Color Watercoloring

Popping in this afternoon to share another couple cards and a Quick Tip video that I made recently for Unity Stamp Company and hadn't had a chance to share yet! One is a Mother's Day card, the other a birthday card - something fun I did with watercolors:


Video of my watercoloring this card - and putting it together:



I love the neutral watercolors - and then the pop of yellow on the flowers.


Here is the other card - same technique, different sentiment.

Age is merely the number...

Good morning! I'm back and sharing another birthday card with these adorable Cuddly Critters from the new Simon Says Stamp My Favorite release last week - combining it with a sentiment from the previously released Big Birthday Wishes to make another birthday card:


I pretty much want to pick up each of these critters and cuddle them - and this koala is no exception! Added some torn vellum, and again some more plaid Lawn Fawn paper.


Also linking this card up with this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes:

Good evening! It's time for the monthly Design Team hop with Unity Stamp Company! There are a bunch of fun releases, lots of inspiration along the hop, and prizes to be won as well! So get settled in and ready to hop! I'm sharing a card and Quick Tip video using one of my absolute FAVORITE'S from the new release - drawn up by the talented Angie Bloom - and it was one I requested! LOVE LOVE LOVE it so much!


Here is that Quick Tip video - showing how I got it all vintage and distressed - and yet still sparkly and fun:


Love the sparkle from that tiny confetti - it's from Pretty Pink Posh and one of my favorite embellishments lately! Also tore an edge of the woodgrain paper and added some jute twine.


Make sure and hop along to win one of the prizes for leaving comments!
