Glamorous Flamingo...
  Hello and welcome!  Today’s card features this super fun stamp set from Art Impressions (Flamingo Wiggle), Copic coloring, and Ink Blending using Distress Inks (salty ocean and peacock feathers).  To start, I stamped, die cut, and Copic colored Flamingo images.  I then assembled elements using the included brads.  Next, I die cut a Wonky rectangle (MFT’s) panel from Neenah solar white cardstock and Ink Blending Distress Inks.  I then stamped sentiment onto panel, stamped second sentiment onto a piece of SSS black cardstock, and heat embossed both.  To finish, I adhered panel to card base, then adhered mini wobbler to back of Flamingo and adhered to panel.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!

You are Delightful...
  Hello and welcome!  Today’s card features this lovely floral stamp set from Concord and 9th (Brushed Bloom) and watercoloring using Tombow Dual Brush markers.  To start, I inked floral images by directly applying the brush to the stamp, stamped the image onto a piece of Canson XL watercolor paper then lightly going over with a damp brush, pulling the color to the edges of the stamped image.  Using a stamp positioner such as a Misti greatly helped this step.  By using the Misti, I was able to apply the markers and stamp several times to achieve the amount of color/look I was hoping for.  Once all stamping was complete, I lightly added a wash of blue ink (Distress Ink: Tumbled Glass) to add interest to the panel.  To finish, I die cut panel using Lawn Fawn Zig-Zag rectangles, stamped sentiment and heat embossed using Ranger/Wendy Vecchi Tiger Lily embossing powder, then added a few Pretty Pink Posh gold sequins.  Thanks so much for stopping by... take care!
