Sending Waves Of Smiles

Good morning crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a cute and colorful summer card featuring a digital stamp by Amanda Jayne Designs.

This adorable stamp is Beach Girl and you can find it in the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Shop!  I inked a panel of bristol card with Frayed Burlap, Salty Ocean, and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered the panel with water and then splattered the sandy area with thinned brown acrylic paint.  Once the panel was dry, I adhered it to my card.  I printed the images on Neenah cardstock, colored them with copics, and fussy-cut them.  I stamped a sentiment on the card and then attached the images with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Miss You

Hello friends!  I'm sharing a card featuring some of the amazing products that Altenew generously gifted me.

These beautiful blooms are from the Fragrant Peony Layering Die Set.  I seldom make floral cards but this layering die set made this card so easy!  I die cut all the blooms and foliage from white card stock and then I inked them with Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness, Wild Honey, and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered everything with thinned white gouache and once they were dry, I assembled flower layers.  There's an instruction sheet included with the dies that makes the assembly so easy.  I die cut the Grid Cover Die from white card stock and adhered that to my card.  Next, I adhered the flowers with foam tape and tucked the foliage behind the flowers with liquid adhesive.  I heat embossed a sentiment from the Hug Me stamp to finish my card.

Altenew has generously gifted me two $25 gift cards for a giveaway over on my Instagram account.  Hop over to IG and check it out.

Wishing You The Yummiest Year

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the weekly sketch challenge over on the My Favorite Things Blog.  

These sweet images are from the JB Birthday Bites stamp set.  There are more critters and yummy goodies included in this set, along with another sentiment that's perfect for birthday!  So be sure to check out this set!  I stamped two of the critters on Neenah card stock, colored them with copics, and fussy-cut them.  I used a black gel pen on their eyes and added some highlights with a white gel pen.  I followed the sketch for this week and applied Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks on the base of my card behind the die cut circles.  I attached the images and die cut frame with foam tape to give my card some dimension.

Copics:

Bunny - E53, E51, E50; R20, R01; E49, E47, E44; YR27, YR24, YR21, YR20; RV23, RV21, RV10

Puppy - E44, E43, E42; C3, C1; YR27, YR24, YR21, YR20; RV23, RV21, RV10; R46, R29, R27, R24

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have an amazing day!

Hugs, Anita
