Happiness Blooms from Within

 One more for today! I have gotten SO MUCH use out of this stamp set (Petal Princesses from The Greeting Farm) - the images are so fun to color and they are the perfect size (this card is 5x7, one of the bigger card sizes I like to make)! I love pairing my favorite stamps with my favorite stencils from A Colorful Life Designs! I'd like to enter this card below into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Spritz and/or Splatter

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Crafting a Cut Above - Anything Goes with Die Cuts

Crafter's Cafe - Anything Goes

Inkspirational - Use Stencils

I created my background by blending Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink through my Connected Cogs stencil from the June release at A Colorful Life Designs (use code JennFan10 for 10% off at the store!). I splattered soem purple Mica Spray Stain all over the background and sponged the edges of the card. I stamped the sweet girl from the Petal Princesses set at The Greeting Farm with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copics. I fussy cut her and attached her with foam dimensional tape, layering the die cut leaves behind her. I stamped the sentiment directly on the background. 

Peace.

Peace

I made my background by blending Mustard Seed and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks on a piece of watercolor paper - the way they met in the middle created the pretty green. I spritzed with water and dabbed with a paper towel. I die cut the peace signs out of cardstock and stamped the sentiment and hearts with Picket Fence Oxide Ink, then embossed with white embossing powder. Peace.

As You Like It - To Add a Sentiment or Not

(I like adding sentiments to my cards to convey a message before they even open the card)

My sweet little granddaughter Raeana (RaeRae) graduated from Kindergarten a week ago, so this card is for her! I used one of the papers from the Spring Into Easter Paper digi pack, because RaeRae's favorite color is blue. I printed Graduation You Passed Noodle Panda Bear and colored him with Copics. I fussy cut him and attached him with foam dimensional tape. I printed the "How are you SO amazing?" from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Sentiments set and added it along the bottom of the card. Peace.

I created my background by blending Distress Oxide Ink on a piece of watercolor paper. I then used a couple different stencils, wiping them with a baby wipe. I took one flower from the stencil and applied Versamark Dazzle in the corner, then embossed with white embossing powder. I stamped Surfer Anya (retired rubber stamp from The Greeting Farm) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, fussy cut and attached to the die cut tag with foam dimensional tape. I cut a strip of the coordinating peachy watercolor paper along the bottom and attached the die cut with the sentiment to it - added a couple of gemstone stickers. Peace.

I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. This is one of my favorite cards, if I do say so myself! LOL Peace.

My papers are all from Doodlebug Design - I have SO MUCH paper, it's ridiculous. I have put myself on a strict paper diet - NO MORE PAPER until I use a whole bunch of what I have. LOL I try to do that with stamps too but man, my favorite companies just keep coming out with the cutest new releases!  :) I printed this digi from Di's Digi Designs called Fore You (it looks like she's updated the image to be even cuter now!), colored with Copics and attached the panel to the card. I used a punch for the sentiment. Peace.

Posie Pixie

 Hi friends!  I have a fun little bookmark/tag to enter into a few challenges today:

Paper Funday #77 - Anything Goes/Optional Embossing Wet or Dry

Heart's Quest Fantasy #6 - Anything Goes/Optional Fairies

Outlawz Main Challenge Blog - June

Outlawz Saturday - Anything Goes in a Card Free Zone

I used a bookmark die from Newton's Nook, cut from a piece of watercolor paper. I used a text background stamp, stamped in Versafine Dazzle with clear embossing powder and did an emboss resist by blending Distress Oxide Inks over it. I stamped the image from Stamping Bella (this is an old retired one called Posie Pixie) with Versafine Black directly on the tag and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copics. I carefully sponged the ink around her, then tied a stitched ribbon through the top. Peace.
