Well Hello There!

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm collaborating with Gaby, the owner of the My Enchanted Colors Shop!

This sweet image is from the Floristeria digital stamp set and you can find it in Gaby's Kofi shop here.  I printed the image on Neenah cardstock and colored it with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on the bunny eyes and a white gel pen to add highlights to the flower.  I fussy-cut the image and adhered it to a oval diecut that I sponged with distress oxide inks.  I added a sentiment from a Hello Bluebird stamp set. 

Copics:

Bunny - E53, E51, E50; R20

Dress - R20, R30, R00

You're One In A Buzzillion

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring some of the new products from the May Reverse Confetti release!

This sweet little bee is from the Birthday Buddies stamp set and I adore it!  The stamp set has lots of cute critters but I think this bee may be my favorite.  I colored it with copics and then diecut it using the Birthday Buddies Confetti Cuts.  I used a black glaze pen on the bee eyes and antennae and then I added some Glamour Dust to the wings for some sparkle.  I cut a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of bristol card, sponged it with distress oxide inks, and then spattered it with water. 

I adhered the inked panel to my card and then adhered the bee with foam tape.  I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Buddies Banter stamp set towards the top of my panel.  I used the Layered Friend Confetti Cuts to diecut the large friend from black cardstock and adhered it under the bee. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a bee-utiful day!

Hugs, Anita

It's A Wonder-fur World

Happy Monday friends!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring some of the products from the latest Paperie Ink release!

I stenciled some clouds onto a stitched rectangle using Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink and then added a piece of diecut grass that I sponged with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink.  I stamped images from the Yappy Talk and Dog Days stamp sets.  I colored the images with copics and diecut them using the coordinating dies.  I used a black glaze pen on the puppy eyes and noses, and used a white gel pen to add highlights to the images.  I used the Wooden Fence die to cut the fence from kraft cardstock.  I used distress ink to add shading to the fence and then adhered it to the card with foam tape.  I stamped a few doggy prints in the grass and then adhered all the images with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a beautiful day!

Reverse Confetti - May Countdown To Confetti - Day Two

Good morning!  It's Day 2 of the Reverse Confetti Countdown to Confetti!  Today I'm sharing more sneak peeks of the May release!

I used the Roses stamps and Confetti Cuts for this card.  I think this stamp is so beautiful!  I stamped the large rose image, colored it with copics, and diecut it with the Roses Confetti Cuts.

Not only does the Roses Confetti Cuts diecut the rose image, but there is also a Confetti Cut in the set that diecuts the panel with the notched corners.  It's so pretty and elegant, I think.

I stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel to my card.  I attached the floral image with foam tape to give my card some added dimension.  Lastly, I adhered a few clear gems.  You can't really see the gems in the photo but they do add a bit of sparkle to my card.

This beautiful floral image is the Wildflowers stamp set.  I used the Folklore Cover Plate Confetti Cuts to diecut the pretty background of my card.  I sponged the cover plate with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink and spattered it with some diluted ink.  Once dry, I adhered the coverplate to my card.

I colored the Wildflowers with copics and diecut the image using the coordinating Confetti Cuts.  I heat-embossed a sentiment from the stamp set and adhered both the flowers and sentiment with foam tape.

For my final card today, I heat embossed the butterflies from the A Beautiful Day stamp set and diecut them using the coordinating Confetti Cuts.  Once again, I used the Folklore Cover Plate Confetti Cuts to diecut the back panel of my card from black cardstock.  It's difficult to see in the photo but the cover plate adds so much beautiful texture to the card.

I inked a piece of bristol card with various distress oxide inks and spattered it with water.  I used the Large Rainbow Circle Confetti Cuts to diecut the rainbow colors and adhered them to my card.  I used the Layered Friend Confetti Cuts to diecut the sentiment from cardstock and adhered it to the Large Rainbow Circle.  Lastly, I adhered the vellum butterflies to my card.

Be sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has to share today.  Comment along the way for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti shop!  Leave a comment by noon CST on May 7th for a chance to win.
