Sand and Sea Suite

Here is the Sand and Sea Suite and I’m thoroughly enjoying using it. Today I’m using the Friends are like seashells stamp set.

I decided to do some gold embossing on Evening Evergreen forgetting how hard it is to photograph such a dark color along with gold foil and embossing. The stamp was inked up in Versamark and stamped off once, then gold embossing powder was sprinkled on and heated. Next it was matted in gold foil. Before attaching that to the Evening Evergreen card base, the sentiment was also embossed in gold. This means that if anything goes wrong, I have more options! The image was then glued to the card base.

I’ll be showing how I made this card and 2 others using the Sand and Sea Suite later on at 11am EDT on my Facebook Live. It will also be uploaded to YouTube. Please come and join me and share or subscribe.

Here’s the third card this week using the adorable Darling Donkeys set. I’ll be showing the three cards live today on my Facebook Live at 11am EST.

I used a few more colors for the watercoloring on this card – real red and old olive as well as the basic grey. The insides of the ears, the muzzle, the tail and the hooves were also highlighted using Wink of Stella. This was matted on real red and positioned on a piece of Very Vanilla embossed using the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder. Before attaching that all to the real red card base, the ribbon was wrapped around the panel. The final touch was the Real Red sentiment cut out, as usual, with the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies.

Come and join me and the Darling Donkeys at 11am EST today and we’ll have some fun.

This week I’m showing cards made with the adorable Darling Donkeys set. I’m also in a bit of a Very Vanilla phase in case any of you haven’t got the new Basic White replacement for the Whisper White.

Like Wednesday’s card this is also very simple to make and gives you some more watercoloring practice. As before, the donkey was stamped in Smoky Slate and then the Basic Grey watercolor pencil was used to lightly cover the body, and to emphasize all lines. The blender pen removed the pencil lines and moved a little of the color around. I then added a tiny bit of red lipstick using the Real Red watercolor pencil! The sentiment, also from Darling Donkeys was stamped in Blackberry Bliss and cut out, along with the donkey using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies. But you probably knew that if you’ve been following me for a while!

I stamped a very vanilla layer in more Blackberry Bliss and added a mat before putting it onto a Very Vanilla card base. The donkey’s circle was stuck to the card but the sentiment was popped up with dimensionals.

The final touch was this absolutely gorgeous Blackberry Bliss ribbon (154569, $7). If you order nothing else from this post, you absolutely need the ribbon!

This week – now that I have weaned myself a little off the total focus on the Flower and Field DSP, I’m showcasing the adorable Darling Donkeys set.

This is a very simple card to make and a great introduction to watercoloring. The donkey was stamped in Smoky Slate and then the Basic Grey watercolor pencil was used to lightly cover the body, and to emphasize all lines. The blender pen removed the pencil lines and moved a little of the color around. The piece of Very Vanilla was trimmed until it “looked right” and then a Magenta Madness mat was added. To complete the card all that was needed was the sentiment, also from Darling Donkeys, stamped in Magenta Madness. It was cut out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies and popped up with dimensionals.

I’m wondering if I should challenge myself to not use these framelits for a week!

Prized Peony Bundle

Leave a reply

This week’s product is the Prized Peony bundle and here I’m taking advantage of the dies.

The peony was stamped using Rococo Rose and then cut out with the Peony Dies. Next I stamped some leaves in Mossy Meadow and cut them out as well. The reason for the Mossy Meadow was so that I could use this lovely ribbon! I arrange the peonies up the side of the card, tucking in the leaves as I went. Next I used a blends marker – I think it was mango melody – to colour the centres and then blinged them up with clear wink of Stella.

The sentiment is from the Prized Peony stamp set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. I popped it up with dimensionals and then added a bow using the Mossy Meadow 3/8″ Diagonal Stripe ribbon.

I’ll be making this card live on Sunday on my Facebook Live at 11am EST. Come and join me and have a chance to win a raffle for those people who share my live.
