Inner Mermaid

Happy Sunday!

Today's card is brought to you by a few different companies, Brutus Monroe, Ellen Hutson and Tailored Expressions. 

To create this card I started with a top folding white card base. I laid the stencil from Brutus Monroe over it and then used the Life Changing Blender Brushes to blend the two different inks Buttercup and Honeysuckle to create the border. Next I stamped the mermaid tail by Taylored expressions and cut it out with the coordinating die and popped it up on the background. To finish the card I added greeting by Ellen Hutson.

Oh So Sweet

Happy Sunday!  It's time for another challenge at AAA Cards! Our sponsor is Happy Little Stampers with a $20 gift certificate.

For my card, I started with a top folding White card base and a piece of white cardstock to stamp and cut out the cupcake pieces from the Sprinkles bundle by Concord & 9th, it's a set that they collaborated with Ellen Hudson for United We Flourish.  

I stamped the cupcake pieces with two different colors of Ombre' ink by Hero Arts, Mint Julep to Emerald Green and Pink to Red. Before popping up the cupcake I randomly stamped some sprinkles for it to sit on.

Favorite Hydrangea

It's time for another challenge at Addicted to CAS,  our sponsor is Happy Little Stampers with a $15 gift certificate to their store. Here is the challenge, with is definitely a challenge. 

How are we supposed to pick one favorite stamp? I have a ton of favorites, so I chose a stamp that is one of my favorites and it was my Moms favorite flower. I remember having huge hydrangea bushes all around our house in blues, pinks, purple and even a whitish one.  The blue one was my favorite!

My friend lost her father last week so I made this card to send her.

To make my card I started with a white top folding note card and some watercolor paper. Using the MISTI (because anytime I am stamping on watercolor paper I need to make sure I get a crisp image and that's exactly what MISTI was made for) I stamped the hydrangea image from the set Mondo Hydrangea by Ellen Hutson with Versafine ink and used Daniel Smith watercolors to color it and the cut it out with the coordinating die. The greeting is from the set Sentiment Essentials by Reverse Confetti.

To finish the crafter stamping the greeting I just popped up the hydrangea using foam tape
