Ellen Hutson Pin Sights Challenge , January mood board

Hello, crafty friends!

I enjoyed Sunday afternoon doodling with watercolor.

Being inspired by the beautiful mood board from the current Pin Sights challenge at Ellen Hutson blog , I made this card.

This is the inspiration mood board.

(Click the image to link to the blog)

To begin, I stamped Mondo Hydrangea on a watercolor paper using Versafine onyx black ink, then watercolored it using Daniel Smith watercolor paints.

Then I splattered some black and gold inks, wrapped the panel with pink ribbon, and then foam mounted it onto a cardbase.

As a final touch, I put some Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix by Pretty Pink Posh. 

Frankly speaking, I just forgot to stamp sentiment. Hope this card would be for any kinds of greetings!

Daniel Smith paints I used are :

Rose of Ultramarine, Ultramarine Turquoise, Prussian Blue, Quinacridone rose, Blue Apatite Gen, New Gamboge, Sap Green, Undersea Green, Prussian Green 

To color hydrangeas, I mixed three different colors of purple/blue/turquoise, added layers of colors until I'm satisfied.

For the splatters, I used some gold and black ink from prima marketing watercolors.

Thanks for reading this post.

Have a good day!

[Simon Says Stamp] January New Release - SSS Love

Hello, there !

It's a New Release Day at Simon Says Stamp today!
You can see the brand new SSS Love Release HERE.

I'm going to share two cards featuring "Sprinkle Heart" wafer dies from the brand new SSS Love Collection.

The Sprinkle Heart die is perfect to make a small heart-shaped window !

I die cut a white cardstock using Sprinkle Heart and Wonky Rectangles Waffer Dies from Simon Says Stamp, then made a shaker card.

Sentiment was chosen from Handwritten Love Stamp Set, stamped with Versafine ink and clear heat-embossed .

For the first card, I used red color as a focal point.

For the second card, light purple is the main color.

Now, two cards were just finished very quickly by just one die-dicutting and stamping :)



 💚💚💚



The next day, I made one more card using the Sprinkle Heart Die.
I stamped a cute critter image and colored with copic markers.

Sequins are Metallic Bronze and Metallic Rosegold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

[Pretty Pink Posh] No line watercoloring of Pretty Petunias and Hummingbirds

Hello, there !

Today I'm sharing a no line watercolor card again. I'm really into watercoloring these days, feeling like spring is just around in these cold snowy days. 

For today's card I used Pretty Petunias and Hummingbid Thanks Stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh. 

I first stamped the images on a watercolor paper using Antique Linen.

Then I colored them using Daniel Smith Watercolors and a Tim Holtz Waterbrush.

I added several layers using various colors on the petals to give more shades.

Hummingbirds were cut using coordinating dies and foam mounted. 

Then I added Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins. 

The Hummingbird Thanks Stamp and dies are now out of stock in PPP Shop, but they'll be back again in a week or two. So don't miss them!

[Ellen Hutson] January Mix It Up Challenge with Concord&9th

Hello, there!

Today's card is for Mix It up challenge at Ellen Hutson Blog. 

We need to mix Concord&9th and Essentials by Ellen products.

I have several products for each brand, so this looked very exciting.

What shall I choose and mix? It's such a fun question, isn't it? 

So here goes my card.

I chose Cozy Lady set from Essentials by Ellen, Layers of Love Dies and You're My Person Stamp set from Concord&9th.

I colored cozy lady with copic markers, and diecut it using coordinating dies.

  Then, I matched the image with heart cut background.

I cut a few strips from the heart frame to make a small window, inked edges with a distress ink, then stamped a sentiment inside the frame. 

Then I stamped blocked sentiments from "You're My Person" Stamp set, and hand-cut it.

To add cozy feeling, I put some enamel dots. 

♡

Thanks for reading this post.

Enjoy your day!
