Kindness

I love the warmth of these Stampin' Up colours together....Bravo Burgundy, Creamy Caramel and So Saffron. I stamped the base of the card with little hearts using Versamark Watermark ink which makes the stamped image a little darker than the cardstock it's stamped on....I hope you can see them in the photo. I love this technique for making backgrounds especially when I don't have a patterned paper in the colour I want to use. I also used a strip of creamy caramel where I would traditionally use ribbon but I didn't have any in the colour I wanted so I used cardstock instead.

Supplies:-

Stamps - Penny Black Heart Strings and SU Heard From The Heart and Sprinkles

Georgia Pacific white cardstock

Brilliance ink

Versamark Watermark ink

Fintastic!

I made this card for this weeks {Ippity} challenge....you can find the details HERE. The challenge was to create a card using {Ippity} stamps for a boy. I used the set Fishy Philosophy to make this card. I must admit I very rarely make male cards which I always find a challenge...I can't use all the lovely girlie things that I normally like to use. But I really enjoyed the challenge of trying something outside my comfort zone.

Stamps - {Ippity} Fishy Philosophy

Copic markers - C1, YR18

SU marker - Night of Navy

More Blessings for Easter

Hello.....and thank you so much for stopping by my Blog today. I thought I would share another Easter card....I'm sure there will be many before Easter as I've been busy making them. This card features one of my original stamp designs that I had made into acrylic stamps last year. I do love pink and brown together! I also really like the look of the layered flowers in different colours and styles.

What is {Ippity}?

Today is my very first post using {Ippity} stamps. What is {Ippity} you may ask? It is a new line of stamps from Unity Stamp Company sold through {Ippity} Chicks....and I am very happy to be one on those Chicks and you can find all the {Ippity} stamps for sale HERE.....with new stamps being released every 3 months. There is also a tab at the top of this page with more info on the stamps if your interested. I am not a pushy seller and not all my posts will include {Ippity} stamps but I love using these stamps so every now and then you'll see things I've made with them....like today! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Today's cards use stamps from the set Fishy Philosophy which as soon as I saw them I knew would be perfect with airbrushing. Both cards are airbrushed using my Copic markers and the fish, coral and seaweed are all coloured with Copics. The fishy bubbles are skittles/dew drops which I've had for years and haven't really found a use for them until now....don't they make perfect fish bubbles?

Surprise!

Ok....I'm sorry, I really don't have a surprise for you but that's the name of the stamp I used on today's card. The little mice are surprising the mouse that is asleep at the bottom with a card and a gift....aren't they cute! I decided not to put a sentiment on this card so the card can be used for any occasion. I coloured in this stamp with watercolour paints which I prefer to use when colouring Penny Black's mice and hedgehog stamps. When using watercolours I like to stamp the image with Brilliance Ink and use clear embossing powder. The watercolours don't stick to the clear, shiny surface and you end up with a cleaner image at the end.

Sometimes I just like to colour in! I don't have to think about how I want the layout of the card to look or what colour cardstock to use...it's nice sometimes just to colour in for the enjoyment of it! This card started out that way. I probably coloured this cute little bunny stamp over a year ago and just filed it away for the perfect moment. I've been making lots of Easter cards and this little bunny by Azadi Earles makes a cute Easter card which measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" and is tied with a lovely pink silk bow.

Jesus Loves Us!

With Easter just around the corner it's time to get busy making Easter cards. These two cards were made using Unity's Blessings From Him set, with the same colour palette with a slightly different layout. I coloured directly on the stamps with SU markers so that the crown of thorns would be a different colour and the "HE" would stand out as well.

I often make several cards at once using the same supplies but get sick of making the exact same card so I change up the layout so that they are all slightly different. This comes in handy if I'm designing a card that I have to make several of because at the end of the day I can look at the different cards and pick the one I like the best to reproduce. Don't forget today that Jesus loves you...isn't that great!
