Happy Monday everyone.. I hope you all had a fun weekend. It’s Holly here today and I’ve got a card using “Trishell” from the Greeting Farm‘s new Mermaid line. I love this new line of stamps! There are 3 individual images and a mini set with lots of mermaids and undersea images.

I created the background first by adding some Mermaid Lagoon, Cracked Pistachio and Wilted Violet Distress Inks to a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor card stock. Once I had the colors all blended how I wanted them I added some drops of Perfect Pearls Mist. This product is discontinued but you can achieve the same look but added some Perfect Pearls powder to a mini mister filled with water and then use the end of the sprayer to flick drops onto your background. I also added a few drops of water and dabbed them off with a paper towel. Then I die cut the panel using the Dainty Scallop Cover up from MFT. I held all the pieces in place with some Glad Press n Seal and added some foam tape to the back and adhered it to a top folding White card base.

I stamped the image onto some Neenah Solar White card stock and colored it in with Copics. I used Colors similar to the background. I fussy cut the image out and added some Clear Wink of Stella to the tail and pearls in her hair. I die cut a Banner from some White card stock using the Avery Elle Pierced Banner Die set and stamped the sentiment from the “Trishell” set using some VersaFine Onyx ink.

I adhered the Mermaid and the banner to the front of the card with some Foam Tape and then I added some Mixed Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

I used the following Copics:

Tail~ BG11, BG13, BG15 & BV13 Hair~Y0000, Y00 & Y02 Skin~ E21, E51 & E50 Shell~E41, E42, E43 & E44 Top~BV00 & BV02 Cheeks~ R20 Pearls~ BV02 & C00

Happy 4th of July everyone… It’s Holly here today with a Watercolor card featuring Hero Arts Color Layering Pineapple Stamp set.

I started with a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper and Stamped the pineapples randomly over the paper. I stamped each part of the pineapple and the flower separately layering as I went. I used Distress markers in the colors: Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Peeled Paint, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles, Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry & Black Soot.

I colored directly onto the Stamp and then I spritzed it with some water using the Ranger Mini Mister and stamped down onto the paper. Hold it there for just a few seconds and lift up. It will leave a washed out look to the image. After I stamped each layer I heat set it with a heat tool and moved onto the next stamp. I dried the images in between each layer.

Once the panel was dry I die cut it using the Wonky Stitch die from Avery Elle. I added some Black paint splatters with a paintbrush and some Black Soot Distress Ink Refill. Then I layered the panel onto a top folding A2 size card base cut from some Black Licorice Card Stock with Foam tape. I stamped the sentiment onto the same card stock using some VersaFine Black ink and trimmed it into a Banner and adhered it with some foam tape.

For a bit of Sparkle I added some Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I think this is my favorite Pineapple stamp. You can really change the look of it by using different colors and omitting some of the layers.

Hi everyone it’s Holly here today. I hope you are having a great week so far! Today I have a Thank you card featuring the new Konnichiwa set and coordinating dies from Avery Elle. I’m also using the new Mountain boarder die from WPlus9.

I started by die cutting three pieces of Bristol card stock using the Wonky Stitches Die from Avery Elle. I cut the Mountain Border from one of the pieces and I also cut a stitched edge using the Landscape trio die from Mama Elephant. Then I added color to each of the pieces with some Distress Inks in Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass and Iced Spruce with a Mini Ink Blending tool. I adhered each of the panels together with some liquid glue and set them aside to dry.

Then I stamped the Images from the Konnichiwa set onto some Neenah Solar White card stock using some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Copics. I die cut them with the coordinating dies and my Big Shot.  Then I added the main panel to a top Folding White card base and then adhered the images with some Foam tape. I stamped the sentiment onto a tag die cut from the Scalloped Banner set from Avery Elle. I adhered it to the front of the card with some additional foam tape and trimmed off the edge.

I added some Clear Wink of Stella to some of the images for a bit of shimmer and then I also added some Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. This such a cute little set from Avery Elle there are also three different faces you can choose from. Head over to the store and check it out!

I used the following Copics to color in my images..

Geisha: E50, E50 , E21, R20 Kimono: R22, R24, R29, R37, Y13, Y15, YR21, Y23 & Y26 Flowers: R10 & R21 Cherry Blossoms and Branch: R0000, R10, R21, E53 & E57
