Glorious Garden

Hello and welcome back!
To those who were able to join us in our blog hop last week, THANK YOU so much! It was such an inspiring hop to see all the creations made by the designers with their projectst using Tim Holtz products!  And I am so grateful for the chance to be part of the blog hop.  And to those who left a comment, I read them all... you guys are amazing! Thank you!

For my share today, these cards were at the the Creativation Stampers Anonymous Booth.  I used the Glorious Garden Stamps.  This stamp is quite big and this size comes with lots of possibilities.  You can use the whole stamp or just a part of it.

For the first card,  I stamped the image using Archival Jet Black ink on to a smooth watercolor paper. (Arches Hot Press 140 lb WC Paper) then colored the image using Distress Ink Reinkers. I used a thinned wash of Black Soot for the background.

For the second card, I stamped the image on rough watercolor paper (Canson Watercolor paper 140lbs) and this time, I chose a different angle of the stamp to use. This time, I used some colored pencils to color the image. For the background, I just lightly colored it with a light brown pencil.

These are my two cards for today.  

This stamp from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous is already out on most online stores. So go grab one because this stamp is a versatile stamp you can use in various occasions!

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

Media Marks

Hello and welcome back!

Today I am sharing with you 2 cards using the new Media Marks 2 and the Mini Media Marks from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous. There are two sets of Media Marks Stamps (1 and 2) and the Mini Media Marks Set is a smaller versions of the 2 sets.

For my first card, I used the Media Marks 2 Stamp set. I stamped the ‘swirls’ several times on to watercolor paper and watercolor the images.  I then cut them and layered them to make a flower.  The leaves were also stamped and fussy cut.

For the background, I inked one side of the Bricked Texture Fade with Pumice Stone Distress Ink before sandwiching a piece of paper and running it throught the BigShot.  Then I cut the edges of the paper, outlining the bricks. Then I die cut some black cardstock using the Friendship Words: Script dies for the word 'hello'.

For the second card, I used the Mini Media Marks stamps set. I stamped and colored the leaves with watercolor and fussy cut them. A stamp with lines was perfect to make a pot. And the sentiment is from the Crazy Talk Stamp set. The background is the Flurry Stamp  from the Flurry and Pine Stamp set. I then stitched the edges before adhering to a grey cardstock panel then finally  to a card base.

Some hemp cord was tied around the pot and the sentiment tag attached to the bow.

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

What’s moo?

 Hello there and welcome to my blog.

This is going to be my first official post with a card. 

Now that the Creativation 2019 is over, I’m sure a lot of us have been drooling over all the new stamps, inks and paper and everything else that was showcased during the show.

I wanna say I was there but not actually. Since a few of my cards made it to some booths at Creativation, I feel like I was there too.

So What’s Moo?  Well, Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous has  alot of new crafty goodness instored for us. For the month of January, there are 5 stamps sets to be released and 3 stencils.  And one of the stamp sets is called Funny Farm.

When I saw the stamp set, I fell inlove with the Cow.

I stamped this cute fellow on to watercolor paper and watercolored the image. I cut the colored image using the Stacked Postage Thinlits Die and added a black panel behind it.  For the background, I used the Plank from the Craze and Plank Stamp set (CMS344) and stamped it using

 Pumice Stone Distress Ink.  I also added a black panel to frame the card before adhering it to a card base. Then I added a Typed Token and let it hang from a n Index Clip.  And on the corners of the card base, I used some Long Fasteners.

 

Thank you for stopping by I hope to see you again!
