Hello everyone.. It’s Holly here today I hope you all had a great weekend! Before I get to my project today I wanted to remind you that our Bi-Weekly Challenges are now starting on Sundays. You can check out this week’s new Challenge here, and we will announce the winners of Challenge #104 on Saturday.

I have become obsessed with Watercoloring everything and lately it’s been all about the Distress Markers. They have been on my desk for a few weeks and it’s all I can reach for. I’m using one of the Adorable new Dreamerland Crafts stamps today called My Three Little Pigs. I stamped the image in some Potting Soil Archival ink from Ranger onto Watercolor paper. Then I colored the images in with Distress Markers and a paintbrush.

I die cut the image panel using the Double Stitched Oval Die-namics from My Favorite Things. The piece of watercolor paper I used had a Vanilla tint to it so I decided to use some Papers from the Simple Stories Pumpkin Spice Collection. I die cut two of the papers using the Mama Elephant Basics Creative Cuts. Then I created a card base using the same Watercolor paper and added the Pattern paper layers with the Advance Tape Glider.

For the Oval image piece I added some Foam tape to the back of it. Then I stamped the Hello sentiment from the Altenew Label Love set in Doe ink from Lawn Fawn and trimmed it out. I adhered the image over the image with some foam tape. For an extra pop of Yellow I added some of the Pumpkin Spice Enamel Dots from Simple Stories. Be sure to check out the Dreamerland Crafts section of the store. All of the images are so cute!

I used the following Distress Markers:

Girl~Tattered Rose, Evergreen Bough, Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber & Vintage Photo. Pigs~Spun Sugar & Tattered Rose. Ground~Brushed Corduroy. Grass ~ Peeled Paint.

Hello all! Clare here today, with a soft and sweet little number!

I used WPlus9’s Botanical Bunch for this card, but their new Beautiful Bouquet lines would substitute beautifully! They have Dahlia, Mums and Ranunculus.

To get started, I heat embossed my image in white on some gray cardstock, and then added some watercoloring with my ZIG’s. The paper I used was just some scrap paper, and not watercolor cardstock. ZIG’s still work well on a lot of non-watercolor paper – you can usually add a little bit of water to blend if you need to, and not run into much trouble with the paper.

I die cut my sentiment twice from black cardstock, layered them together, then paired it on the stamped cardstock with a coordinating stamped sentiment.

I finished my card off by adding some scrap strips of washi tape, vellum, and doily to the top and bottom of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping in and God bless!

Hi everyone .. It’s Holly here today and I have a fun card for you using products from Neat & Tangled. This Mermazing set was a must have when I saw the release it was in. And the Making Waves Die set coordinated perfectly with it for a unique background.

I started by Die cutting the Making Waves die from some Watercolor Paper and a piece of White card stock. I added some Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon Distress inks to the Watercolor portion to create the waves and the sky. Then I added some water drops and dabbed them off with a paper towel. After the pieces were dry I added them to the White stitched circle with some foam tape. Then I adhered the circle piece to the front of a top folding A2 size card base. I stamped the Mermaid image onto some Neenah Solar White card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I colored it in with Copics. I used BG10, BG11, BG13 & BG18 for the tail. E50, E51, E21 & R20 for the Skin. V12, V15 & V17 for the top and Y13, Y15 & Y18 for the Hair.

I die cut the image using the coordinating dies and then I stamped the Sentiment banner onto some White card stock as well and used the die cut. I adhered both of them to the center image with some foam tape. Then I created a small banner and stamped “you are” and tucked it just behind the mermaid image.

I wanted a little touch of shimmer and sparkle to my card so I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the Mermaid tale and top. And then I added some of the Neat & Tangled Oceans Wave mixed Sequins.

Thanks for stopping by today… Have a great Weekend!
