So, let me show you the projects I created for you today!

For my first project I used "Stay Strong" stamp. 

I used a Color Burst to create the background on a piece of watercolor paper. After the piece was completely dried, I used my Mini Misti and creative corners to keep the piece in place. 

I stamped it in Versamark Watermark ink, then added White embossing powder and heat set.

Then, I die-cut the image and set aside.

To create the background, I stamped the splashed flower from "Imperfection is beauty" set in Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, Wilted Violet and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks.

This is the final look of the card. Love clean mixed media look I got ;)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For this second card I used"Reason to Smile" stamp. The background for the sentiment was a leftover piece I already had done from a previous project, it was made with Yupo paper and Alcohol inks.

The background was created with the flowers from "Imperfection is beauty". I stamped them on a piece of Kraft cardstock in Versamark Watermark ink, then added Clear embossing powder and sponged the panel with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink.

Panels were added to a white cardstock base.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello friends!! Happy Tuesday, today I am sharing a couple of cards especially made for Mother's day. Mother's Day is just around the corner and I think these sets are perfect for this occasion. 

For these cards I used a couple of stamps from our new Technique Junkies April Release: Fairy Tale Flowers and the sentiment is from All the Moms.

For this first card I stamped the Fairy Tale Flowers background on a piece of watercolor paper in Jet Black Stazon, then colored the images with Spectrum Noir ColourTint pencils, then added Sparkle Pens to give it a bit of shimmer (hard to see on the picture)

Then die-cut the background and adhered it on a piece of gray cardstock with foam adhesive. Then, added the panel to a white card base.

The sentiment was stamped on a piece on vellum in Versamark Watermark and white embossing powder.

Finally, I embellished it with small pearls.

For this second card I stamped the background image on a piece of smooth white cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black, I inked the center of the image a lot darker and fade it a bit around the edges, colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers, making it darker in the center and lighter on the outer edges. Stamped the sentiment on a piece of gray cardstock in Versamark Watermark and added white embossing powder, then heat set.

This is a 4.25" x 4.25" square card.

These are the sets I used:

Impression Obsession Challenge: All that Glitters.

She began to fly and meet the new member of my family!!

Hello my friends! Hope you all are having a great day! Last Friday, I made this card and since I've been trying to find the time to post it, well, the time is now. I got inspired by the new Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Add some texture

For this card I used 2 stamps from the new April Release from Technique Junkies.

The pretty lady is from "Butterfly Woman" stamp, I stamped it on a piece of white cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then I colored it with Chameleon Pencils, after that I die-cut the piece.

The sentiment is from "Began to Fly". I stamped it on a piece of vellum in Versamark Watermark, then added white embossing powder and heat set.

To create the gray texture I used Rose Cluster Stencil on a piece of gray cardstock and silver metallic embossing paste.

I added a blue metallic piece of cardstock on a 6" x 6" card base, then the other panels.

Finally I added a silver butterfly and pearls.

You can get these stamps and the stencil with a 10% off using my discount code

And now, let me introduce to you all the newest member of our family!!

This is Milo Jack Smith!! A 8 week old Vizsla pup, he is the reason why I have not posted projects, LOL. He is a very active boy, play play and more play. We have mastered the outside potty training, but still working on bed time, so far he is taking his naps on his crate and loves to play outside and my slippers are his favorite shoes to attack, hahaha.

He has an Instagram account, I couldn't resist. If you would like to follow him, just search for @milo_jack_the_vizsla

Hope you like my project and my sweet little puppy.

Have a fantastic day.
