Celebrate

June is slowly coming to an end, so I'm trying to squeeze in the last of the cards I made with the June release stencils at A Colorful Life Designs! Don't forget you can use code JennFan10 for 10% off your purchases every day!

This one is called Patriotic Stars:

I used the Patriotic Stars stencil in combination with the Patterned Noise stencil, using the reverse stencil technique on watercolor paper with both. The inks I used were Distress Inks in Candied Apple and Blueprint Sketch. I applied those more heavily to some scrap papers and die cut them with the Hero Arts Circle Set Fancy Die. I stamped Ian from The Greeting Farm's Skater Couple set (not available right now but you can always request in the Farmer's Market!) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I printed out the pinwheel, colored everything with Copics and glitter, fussy cut and attached with foam dots. I added a "Celebrate" sticker and some rhinestone stickers for bling.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Stars and/or Stripes

Die Cut Divas - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Krafty Chicks #826- Masculine

Thanks for visiting! Peace.

For the *@!%teenth time...

Good morning!

I have a fun snarky card to share today - this is for the:

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #275 - R is for Rainbow

Creative Fingers - Anything Goes

I started by spritzing a piece of watercolor paper with water, then dipping my watercolor brush in rainbow shades of Spray Stains and drawing a rainbow. I then stamped the kitty & sentiment from the Night Yoga set at Ink Road Stamps with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, then stamped him again on scrap paper to create a mask. I used the mask to ink blend the sun rays coming down on him through the rainbow. Peace.

You are Loved

The artist at Creative Magic by Nilu, or @Kreativzauberby Nilu, has created another free digi stamp with paper for you - available for the next 24 hours! This is Lucy:

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

I colored her with Copics and used a filmstrip die to cut her out, adding polka dots to the background and glitter to her glasses. Finished it off with a little "xoxo" sticker from a sticker sentiment book. Peace.

Balance

Good morning! We are off to spend the day at my daughter's house hanging out with the kids and some friends. I always look forward to spending time with them!

I had so much fun making this card below, I really stepped outside my comfort zone with the colors and such, and I was so happy that I did. I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

AllSorts #852 - Bees, Blooms, and/or Birds

Cut it Up #359 - Critters

Fab n' Funky #640 - Starts with a B (bee and balance)

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

I happen to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator (hobby) and I received a free paper pack recently of 12x12 designer paper called Irresistible Designs. It is a white paper with a shimmery pattern - the one I chose to use has flowers on it:

I cut the DP down to 6x4.5" and painted the whole thing with Lindy's Magicals in Toadstool Taupe from the Enchanted Forest Shimmer Magicals set. I then took a piece of watercolor paper, stamped the bee design stamp from Funky Fossil's Let it Bee set with Versafine Sparkle and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used the Tag Trio die cut from Gina K Designs to cut it out, then sprinkled the Toadstool Taupe powder on it, spritzed with water, and let the magic happen. I fussy cut the sentiment (Unity Stamp Co.) and attached the tag with an old Stampin' Up! metal flower brad. Peace.

Keep Calm and Be Zen

Any time I win stamps or digis from a company, I try to use them to show my appreciation - so when I won a gift card to Sunbird Spark, I had to get some digi stamps and play along with their challenge!

One of the digi sets I chose is called Zen Time. I kept this very simple as I wanted the focal point to be the entire scene. I printed it out, colored with Copics, and used a stitched edge arch nesting die to cut out. I layered the sentiment on top of it and added a strip of rhinestone stickers. Peace.

to the beach - Rope Stars Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs

I can't believe June is so close to being over! I have a few more cards to share highlighting the June release stencils at A Colorful Life Designs - don't forget you can use code JennFan10 any day to save 10% on your order!

This is the Rope Stars stencil:

I had this background in my stash where I had used the reverse stencil technique with the Ocean Stars stencil from a previous release. I pulled it out and used some Distress Oxide Ink in Tea Stain to distress the edges and apply the Rope Star stencil through. I embossed the Rope Star with clear embossing powder, added a kraft ticket and a "to the beach" die cut.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - At the Beach

Classic Design Challenge - AG/Optional Summer Fun

Fab n' Funky - Something Beginning with B (beach)

Thanks for stopping by! Peace.

Girlz and the Art of Letters - D is for Dark

I'm back for another guest DT spot at the Girlz and the Art of Letters Challenge blog, this time the theme is the Letter D!

I went with "D is for Dark":

I ink blended my background using Fossilized Amber, Villainous Potion, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks. I then used a baby wipe through the Star Circle stencil and the Sun & Moon stencil, both from the June release at A Colorful Life Designs. If you use code JennFan10 you can save 10% off your order!
