Thank You Card with Newton's Nook - 2018

I needed a thank you card for my boss so I pulled out my my brand new Altenew watercolors to give them a whirl.

First I die cut a panel of watercolor paper with a Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle,  Then I stamped and heat embossed the palm tree from Newton's Nook "Paradise Palms" and the Mahalo sentiment from MFT's "Polynesian Paradise".  I did a wet on wet technique to add some background color then let it dry overnight.

Birthday Card with Altenew and Inkadinkado - 2018

My dad's birthday is in October so it seemed fitting to make him a fun Halloween inspired card.

Stamps used: "Halloween Trails" by Inkadinkado; "To The Moon" by Altenew; "Lovely as a Tree" by Stampin' Up; "Boo Stamp & Cut" by Hero Arts

First I stamped the moon layers then masked it and blended on Distress Oxides.  With the mask still in place, I splattered a bit of water and Picket Fence white paint on, but I think I went a little overboard.  My husband said my "stars" looked like snow.  Once the background was done, I die cut it with a Distress Edge Rectangle by Kat Scrappiness.  Then stamped and heat embossed the images and the sentiment.

Birthday Card with MFT - 2018

I wanted to make a card for my husband and this stamp set from MFT was perfect!

First I cut my cardstock using the Wonky Stitched Die from Kat Scrappiness.  Then I stamped the candles and sentiment from "Make A Wish" with Versamark and embossed them using Nuvo White Embossing Powder.  I blended on the Distress Inks and then sprinkled on a bit of water for interest.

Mother's Day Card with Altenew - 2018

I made an eclipse style car for my mom for Mother's Day.

I used the "Hennah Elements" stamp set by Altenew and lots of masking to create my image.  Then I used "Large Alphabet Dies" by Kat Scrappiness to cut out the word "MOM".  I colored the letters with my Copics then cut the letters out of some black fun foam and put everything back together on my card base.
