Wishing you a Dandy Day!

   Hello Friends and welcome!  Today’s card features this super cute set from Lawn Fawn (Dandy Day), Copic coloring, and Ink Smooshing using Distress Inks (twisted citron, mowed lawn, crushed olive, salty ocean, and mermaid lagoon).  To start, I took 2 trimmed pieces of Tim Holtz Distress watercolor paper and “ink smooshed” Distress Ink onto the panels using a scrap piece of clear acetate, drying between the layers of ink.  Next, I stamped, die cut, and Copic colored images.  I then die cut the “sky” panel using a stitched panel, then die cut the grassy hillside using Lawn Fawn’s grassy hillsides borders.  To finish, I assembled elements, stamped sentiment, and adhered elements to the card base.  To add a little more detail, I applied a little glitter to the center of the dandelions using Lawn Fawn’s glitter pen.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!

You are Amazing...

   Hello and welcome!  Today’s card features this lovely floral die from SimonSaysStamp (Flower Cluster) and Ink Blending using Distress Inks (abandoned coral, fossilized amber, twisted citron, mowed lawn, and peacock feathers).  To start, I die the floral image from a piece of Neenah solar white cardstock.  I ink blended image using the above mentioned inks and Picket Fence life changing detail brushes.  This image is a bit delicate and the detailed brushes were able to get into the “nooks” allowing the colors to blend and without having the whole image inked in one color.  I next, die cut a wonky stitched rectangle panel also from Neenah solar white and ink blended starting from the bottom left blending towards to top right.  To add a little more detail, I applied Inkon3 liquid pixie dust over the entire floral image and also ink splattered BG panel using white gouache and Perfect Pearls solution.  To finish, I stamped sentiment, white heat embossed, trimmed, then assembled elements and adhered to card base.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!
