Mailable Monday - Mother's Day Edition

Hi stampers! I didn't share this before Mother's Day because in true fashion, I was a last minute Lucy and made my mom's card on Saturday :-) In my defense, their visit has left little time for stamping! Anyway, I made a clever little card for her, or at least I think I did :-)

One of her favorite treats is soft serve ice cream and she usually get them at McDonald's. It's sort of a running joke in our family :-) I watercolored and cut out the little ice cream cone from A Good Day and popped it up on a watercolor wash background with Balmy Blue.

I think she liked it. She may be ready to go home so she doesn't have to share her cones with Ian, lol!

Happy stamping!

Watercolor Wednesday

Hi stampers! Happy hump day! This week is totally weird from being gone on Monday and then going to OnStage Friday! It IS Wednesday, right? :-)

Here's a cute little card I whipped up a while ago.

For my background, I used my emerald envy marker to do a little splatter then I spritzed it. Once it was dry, I added some little accents with black. Sadly, that stamp set is retired now (SAB) but we have a lot of little accents that would work just as well! I'm really going to miss emerald envy. I don't know that I loved it when I saw it but I LOOOOVE it now!

For my main image, I stamped with markers and for the leaves, I used my blender pen to fill them in after I stamped.

Easy and cute, right?

Happy stamping!

Bunny Two-fer

Hi stampers! I've got an Easter two-fer...get it? Bunnies have big teeth...we often refer to teeth as toofers...no? LOL! Anyway, I can't believe Easter is almost here! I thought I better get some cards made, especially since I just got this set and mainly for this CUTE little bunny rabbit!

I was playing around with watercolor wash backgrounds over the weekend and thought they would be great for Easter. I made these with my silicone craft mat and reinkers. Just add some water, a few drops of ink, and squish your paper down. For the green one, I just placed it down carefully and for the pink one, I did that and then moved it and swiped it around a little.

For this card, I used Teeny Tiny Wishes (it's been around for-ev-er so don't forget about it) to randomly stamp on the background. I liked it so much I decided it didn't even need a "real" sentiment! For this bunny, I stamped and embossed him on regular whisper white and used my colored pencils and a blender pen to color him. If you have the Lots of Happy Card Kit, you have a lemon lime twist colored pencil!!!! I think smokey slate and lemon lime look fabulous together, especially for Easter! Remember, sometimes simple is good so you can make a really cool card with only two colors!

For my pink card, I waited until my background was dry (same for above card before stamping, too) and used my sweet sugarplum and flirty flamingo markers to splatter. I had watercolored it with powder pink and flirty flamingo.And can I say how much I love powder pink, sweet sugar plum, and soft suede together???? For this bunny, I embossed him or her with soft suede ink on watercolor paper and watercolored. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added some lace trim and tiny pearls as well. A couple of bits of washi tape finish it off! I love that this one is mailable, too!

You better get used to seeing these banners because I just got them and I CANNOT stop using them and I'm not sorry! I think I got all my supplies listed. It was a LOT!
