Happy Little Stampers Thinking of You

Hi! I’m very happy to be here with you today with a card for Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media Challenge.

Our challenge:

Here’s my card using Happy Little Stampers Thinking of You, Doodled Flowers and Butterfly Birthday.Lots of messy, lovely mixed media techniques went into the making of this card.

I used watercolor paper, ink-blending/sponging, stamping, masking, stenciling, gel pens, Glossy Accents, Stickles, gold pigment ink, fussy cutting and foam tape.

I enjoyed making this card and hope you enjoyed this post.

So?! Are you excited to join in with our Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media challenge?!

I hope so. Make sure that you check out my teammates’ super creations at the challenge bog.

Thanks for stopping by!

Grace & Peace,

Hi! Thanks for spending some of your valuable time visiting me here. 🙂

I’m happy to be with you today for Happy Little Stampers’ CASE the Designer Challenge for October.

I’ve been CASEing my sweet friend Birgit of “Crafting While I Wait.”

This challenge is sponsored by:

Here’s Birgit’s lovely card:

Soooo pretty! I was inspired by Birgit’s layout, elements and the overall sweet design.

Here’s the card I came up with, using Happy Little Stampers Doodle Flowers and Thinking of You stamp sets.

How I made this card:

First, I created my background panel with Brushos Crystals (spritzing with some water to activate). 2. Then I stamped the entire panel with the large block script sentiment from Thinking of You.

3. I randomly added some flowers and leaves from Doodled Flowers.

4. I die cut the panel.

5. Then I added white gel pen to the flower centers. img_1867_edited-1

6. Then I stamped the largest flower from Doodled Flowers in embossing ink onto a white panel of cardstock from my stash. (I had previously sponged some overlapping red, orange and yellow circles onto the white paper and liked the combination of colors.)

7. I heat embossed the flower with red and yellow embossing powder.

8. Then I colored in the flower with alcohol markers.

9. I die cut the panel and reassembled the die cuts, turning some of them 180° to produce a balanced color pattern. 10. I added foam tape to every other die cut and adhered the rest with adhesive.
