Card Harmony- You're So Sweet!

Hi Everyone!

Today is the third Monday of March,

So that means its Card Harmony time 

with my bestie, Stacey.

This month Stacey picked Sweet Smiles from Lawn Fawn.

The second part of the challenge was to use some kind of watercoloring on the project.

Sweet Smiles (Lawn Fawn)

stamp and coordinating die

Here is the card I created to send to Stacey.

 I made a rainbow background with some distress inks and watercolor paper and die cut the layers with a Mama Elephant set. I added the sentiment to some vellum with versamark ink and silver embossing powder. The gumball machine and gumballs are also heat embossed in silver, then painted with some distress inks. I added the cute faces and some wink of stella and glossy accents to embellish.

I added some perfect pearls mist to the watercolored panel for some sparkle.

I loved watercoloring this fun image 

so I made a few more cards to go into my stash.

I kept the design clean and simple to let the images stand out.

I used some vellum for the actual glass part 

of the gumball machine.

The last card only has one smiling gumball peeking out from behind the machine.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Make sure to check out what Stacey has made 

with this fun set to inspire you!

Have a wonderful day!

For this card, I used the sentiment from "Oh, Christmas Puns" from Joy's Life and added some rhinestone bling and Christmas red stickles.

Stretch Your Stamps 2- Day 6

Hi! Okay this is my last card for today!!
I love the look of the outline floral stamps but I don't purchase a lot because I never know what to do with them. So when I saw this technique Donna Mikasa shared on this day I knew I had to try it out.
I love the way it turned out!

The sentiment reads: Our prayers are with you.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Day 1

Hi Everyone!! 

Today I have several cards I made last week and this week from the class I'm taking called Stretch Your Stamps. I have always wanted to take one of these classes and I finally got the opportunity.

I am just getting so inspired by all the techniques!!

First up, I tried Kristina Werner's technique of Multilayer Emboss Resist using regular background stamps.

I embossed then watercolored two panels of watercolor paper then die cut them and this gave me enough to make four cards. I love the rainbow look!

Next up, I used Shari Carroll's technique of Faux Watercolor Stamping with a reverse background stamp.

I love these colors as well and I thought they would just make great masculine cards.

This is the first panel I stamped.

This is the second panel, I misted then re-stamped it. 

I love them both but I really like the colors on the second one.
