Celebrate This Special Day with Altenew...

Hello everyone!! 

Happy Tuesday! 

I am so happy to be stopping by to share this card I created. 

I have always loved watercolor, especially watercolored 

flowers! They are absolutely beautiful! 

I enjoy practicing and know I have a lot to learn and

believe me I admire the beauty the watercolor artists create. 

With that in mind, I pulled my Winsor&Newton  watercolors out and decided to practice with

the beautiful flowers from Altenews Magnolias For Her stamp set. 

I began by stamping my image onto Arches 140LB Cold Pressed watercolor paper.

I used Antique Linen Distress Ink. 

I then began to watercolor using my Winsor &Newton colors. 

It is such a relaxing process, it does take time( for me it does, lol). 

I hope you enjoy and feel inspired to create!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by! 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day!!

Happy Birthday 

Wish Big with Sweet Stamp Shop.....

Hello everyone!
I am happy to be stopping by today to share this set of cards 

I created using the brand new 

City Border Die that is part of the 

Border Die Bundle. 

I used watercolors and alcohol inks to create these cards. 

For the watercolors, I used Winsor & Newton. 

I just added brushstrokes over a strip of watercolor paper and then die cut it using the

City Border Die. 

For the second card with the alcohol inks, 

in the colors Salmon, Butterscotch, and Wild Plum. 

I die cut the cityscape from white cardstock. 

The sentiments are from the Birthday Sentiments stamp set. 

I hope you enjoy these fun cards and feel inspired to create!! 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day! 

YAY.... I'm Back~ Woo-Hoo!!

Hello everyone!!

I am SUPER excited to be back today with another post!!

Today is release day at Sweet Stamp Shop!!

YAY !!! The bundles are available today and you can find them here.

For the first set of cards, I used the adorable raccoon 

(that is a freebie as part of today's bundle). Along with the bear

that is a freebie for January's bundle( that one is available here ).

I added flowers to the bottom of my Miss You card from

the Wear A Crown stamp set. 

I love this set so much I also used it my planner spread.

The sentiment is from the To Do Doodles stamp set.

These images are super fun and quick to color!!! 

I used Copic markers for the cards and brush markers for the planner spread.

I switch out between the Tombow brand to Zig. 

For this spread, I used the Brea Reese water-based markers in the colors Cadmium Red 

and Pink.

For the next card, I used another set that is part of this months bundle. 

 I hope you enjoy these fun cards I created to share with you!! 

I also have another watercolor card I created using another Hero Arts stamp set. 

For this card, I used Winsor&Newton watercolor markers. 

I used the colors Pale Rose, Magenta, and Mauve.

For the greens, I used Sap Green, Hooker's Green, and a bit of Yellow Ochre. 

Thank you so very much for stopping by!! 

I pray you each have a wonderful and Blessed day!! 

Happy Birthday with Altenew and MFT ......

Hello and Happy Thursday everyone <3 . 

Wow ... June already !! 

This year sure is flying by !! 

I am so happy to have had the time to do 

a bit more crafting . I am excited to get 

started on the sneak peek projects 

for the CDD and Sweet Stamp Shop 

June releases !!! 

I have a couple of cards to share with you today . 

For the first project , I created a birthday 

card for one of the sweetest ladies I have had 

the blessing to meet . 

I used the gorgeous Beautiful Day stamp set 

from Altenew . Super big thank you to them !! 

This is one of the awesome sets I was 

able to get with the gift code from being picked as one 

of the winners for April's challenge <3. 

I was inspired by the June Inspiration Challenge 

from Altenew . I love the colors . 

I stamped and did a bit of masking to get the design on each card . 

I was not planning on making three , lol. 

 I wanted to try different combinations using the markers .

 For this one I kept it a bit softer by not adding as many layers . 

This is the one I started with . 

The center flower ended up being a bit darker than the look I was going for . 

That is why I ended up creating the other two . 

I am really LOVING the Zig brushes and the Winsor & Newton ones . 

I did not realize what I was missing !! 

For the next card I created to share with you today 

I was inspired by the current 

My Favorite Things 

Color Challenge : 

and the current Sketch Challenge . 

I used this cute set from My Favorite Things 

Soak Up The Fun . 

 I knew this color combination would be great for this set . 

 I colored my images in using Copic markers . 

The hardest part was deciding what would be what color , lol !! 

 I wanted to create an underwater scene . I used Tim Holtz watercolor paper .

 I then added Distress Ink in the color Tumbled Glass . 

This one was so much fun to create ... I had not created a shaker card in a while !!! 

I hope you enjoy these cards and feel inspired to create !! 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by ! 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day !
