HELLO! A SCRAPPY TAILS CRAFTS SPRING CARD

 Hi there!

I have a beautiful Spring card I made for Scrappy Tails Crafts today and it’s inspired by one I saw on Pinterest some times ago (unluckily I can’t remember the author).

I started making my card cutting a panel from watercolor cardstock.

I then used cocktail party, winterberry and decayed Distress mica stains to color my panel in the middle, I dryed it with hot air gun and I darkened edges with a gold ink.

I also splattered it with picket fence Distress paint.

I colored a piece of vellum with the same colors used for the cardbase and I cut three beautiful butterflies from it with the amazing "Hello Butterfly Multi-layer" stencil and coordinating die set.

I wanted some extra gold, so I put a bit of gilded Distress foundry wax on the butterfly.

I glued the butterflies on my base with some liquid glue and I stamped a sentiment from the "Heartfelt Wings" stamp set with black ink and that's all.

Thank you so much for passing by today, I hope you like the card.

I wish you and amazing day. Big hugs, Silvia.

SPRING CARD WITH SCRAPPY TAILS CRAFTS

Hello crafty friends!

I'd like to share with you a Spring card today and it's all about Scrappy Tails Scrafts!

I started cutting a 4,5"x5,75" panel from white cardstock and I colored it with cracked pistachio Distress Spray Stain. I also added a soft texture on it  using the beautiful "Aztec" stencil and cracked pistachio Distress ink and I darkened edges with vintage photo Distress Oxide ink.

I then die cut all the pieces I needed for my card from the "A7 Bird House Pop Up Card" and the "Layering Spring Birds" die sets and I ink blended them with a lot of Distress Oxide inks (antique linen, vintage photo, walnut stain, ground espresso, saltwater taffy, lumberjack plaid, squeeze lemonade, fossilized amber, twisted citron, mowed lawn and rustic wilderness).

I splattered with clean water, picket fence and antique bronze Distress paints and tone on tone inks.

I put everything together using a mix of liquid glue and foam tape and I stamped a sentiment from the new "Birds and Blooms" stamp set with ground espresso Distress archival ink.

I added some embellishments from the "Spring Flower Breeze" mix  here and there and that's all.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

I wish you an amazing day and I send you big hugs, Silvia.

I'm totally in love with the latest Anita Jeram/Colorado Craft Company release and I can't wait to share with you some of the card I made with it.

I first stamped it with worn lipstick Distress Oxide ink, I then moved the stamp a bit on the side and I stamped it with lumberjack plaid Distress Oxide ink.

I darkened edges with picked raspberry Distress Oxide ink and I splattered with picket fence Distress paint.

I then die cut two scalloped oval panel with the biggest die from the LDRS Creative "Delicate Stitches Scalloped Oval" set and I ink blended one of it with speckled egg and salvaged patina Distress Oxide inks for the sky and shubby shutter and evergreen bought Distress Oxide inks for the grass.

I splattered with clean water and picket fence, antique bronze, ground espresso, sspeckled egg, salvaged patina and mowed lawn Distress paints, I fussy cut off the scalloped edge and I glued it on the other one.

I stamped images from the adorable "Garden Therapy" stamp set by Colorado Craft Company, I colored them with a mix of Spectrum Noir and Ohuhu alcohol markers and I fussy cut them.

I heat embossed in white one of the sentiment from the stamp set on black cardstock and I put everything together using a mix of liquid glue and foam tape.

That's all. I really love how this card turned out and I hope you like it as much as I do.

Thank you so much for passing by. I wish you an amazing day.

BOTTLE BRUSH CARROTS MANIA

 Hello crafty friends!

I was so fascinated by how Tim Holtz used the Stampers Anonymous "Bottle Brush Tree" stamp set to make some super cute carrots last Saturday that I became totally addicted to it.

 And these are some of the cards I made using this technique.

For the first two I colored directly on the stamp with wet Distress watercolor pencils. It was the first time I've tried this and I had so much fun!

I started cutting two panel from Distress Heavystock cardstock and I stamped on them some of the stamps from the "Eccentric" set with ground espresso and vintage photo Distress archival inks.

I then stamped the carrots and added colors to the background with antique linen and vintage photo Distress spray stains.

I also stamped two single carrots that I fussy cut and I attached to the cards with some foam tape.

Here are some other photos of these two cards.

In the last card I stamped the "bottle brush carrots" in different Distress Oxide ink colors and then I splattered with clean water and tone on tone Distress paints.

You know, I dont't like eating carrots, but they're so darn cute to stamp and color.....I hope you'll enjoy these cards.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

I wish you an amazing day and I send you big hugs. Silvia.

PSALM REFLECTIONS CARD WITH PAPERTREY INK

 Hi there! I'm here today with a new card featuring the Papertrey Ink March release.

This card is a one layer one and I made it trying something new for me.

I started cutting a 5,5"x4,25" from white cardstock and I stamped on it some of the beautiful flowers from the "Wildflower Fields" stamp set. I put them on my stamp base, I inked them with Distress Oxide inks, I sprayed with water and I stamped on the cardbase.

I then darkened edges with antique linen, vintage photo and walnut stain Distress Oxide inks and I splattered with clean water.

Once dry, I stamped the sentiment from the beautiful “Psalm Reflections" stamp set with black ink except for the word JOY, that I stamped with lumberjack plaid Distress Oxide ink and I embossed with lumberjack plaid Distress glaze.

That’s all.

I really lov how this card turned out and I hope you like it as much as I do.

Thank you so much for passing by.

I wish you an amazing day! Big hugs, Silvia.
