CDD June 2017 Release Sneak Peek Day 3 ....

Happy Tuesday everyone !! 

I am stopping by today to share a couple of cards 

I have created . 

It is Day 3 of our Craftin Desert Divas June Release 

Sneak Peeks . 

Today we are sneak peeking the 

Western Bandits stamps . 

 I used Distress Oxide Inks once again for this card . 

I used the colors Broken China, Spiced Marmalade, Vintage Photo and Peeled Paint . 

I also added a bit of Chipped Sapphire to darken the sky a bit . 

 I colored the image in using Copic markers . 

You can join our Facebook Event here . 

For the second card I created to share with you today , 

I was inspired by the current Color Challenge 

from My Favorite Things 

and the Camp Create Challenge 

For this card I went with the Spectacular Shakers challenge for this card . 

I used the super cute 

Beautiful Girl stamp set . 

 I love the colors from the challenge and knew I had to use them for this card . 

 I colored in my images using Copic markers . 

I started with RV69, 66 and 63 for my plum shade . 

I then added a bit of YR16 to the edges of her tutu then blended inwards with 

Y38 , Y35, Y23 then a bit of B000 and B01 . 

 I used tulle for the first time for my shaker , inspired by the amazing Jennifer Mcguire . 

 I die cut a matching piece of cardstock to go on the inside of my card and used my 

Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet to create the background . 

The sentiment is from the 

adorable Forest Friends stamp set . 

I also created a matching spread in my mini happy planner 

with the same colors and images . 

Thank you so much for stopping by !

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day !!

Happy Birthday with Mama Elephant ....

I am back with a second post for today <3 . 

If you would like to see the first one , 

please feel welcome to click here . 

For the second post I am sharing two birthday cards 

I created for some of the sweetest IG 

crafty ladies I have been blessed to meet !! 

I used the adorable Lunar Animals 

and Little Edibles stamp sets 

from Mama Elephant . 

 For the first card I heat embossed the sentiment from the Mama Elephant Surprise Sentiments stamp set . The fonts in this set are beautiful !! 

 I used Bristol Smooth cardstock for my card base since I knew I would be doing a bit of watercoloring. I started by adding the Distress Oxide Inks in the colors Worn Lipstick , Cracked Pistachio and a bit ot Wilted Violet . 

 I heat dried it , then went over the middle area again with an actual watercolor in a minty tone . 

I heat dried that layer as well . 

 I then colored up the images and assembled my card . 

 For the second card I went with the same design , with the exception of heat embossing . 

Instead I stamped the sentiment using Ranger Archival Ink .

 I began with Distress Oxide Ink in Wilted Violet .

 I did the same process as the card above . 

 Here is a look of both cards side by side . 

These were quick and fun to create !! 

Thank you so much for stopping by !! 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day !!

CDD June 2017 Release Sneak Peek Day 2 ...

Hello and Happy Monday !! 

It is Day 2 of our 

Craftin Desert Divas

June 2017 Release 

Sneak Peeks . 

Today we are sneak peeking the 

Wild West stamp set 

and 

the Southwest Border Dies . 

 I decided to create a pop up card .

 I used a file from the Silhouette Store . 

The only adjustment I made to the card base was to make it a bit smaller . 

 I added Distress Inks to the backgrounds to make the sky and ground . 

I am loving the new Distress Oxide inks , 

I used a couple of those for this card ( I will list them below ) . 

 I die cut the Southwest Border die , then I inked it up to match my card base . 

I did the same thing to the cactus . 

 I then used my Copics to color in my little cowboy , saloon and horse . 

It was such a fun and easy card to create !!! 

I hope you will join us for the 

CDD Facebook Event here . 

Thank you so much for stopping by !!

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day !!

The first card I will be sharing with you is a card 

I created for my youngest sister . 

She just graduated from college earning her Bachelor's Degree . 

We are super proud and happy for her. 

I used Mama Elephants Timeless Tulips stamp set . 

From the moment I saw this set... I knew it would be perfect !! 

 Her favorite flowers are tulips <3 . 

I went for red for these tulips since her school colors are red and yellow . 

I began by stamping my image using Memento Ink in the color 

I then colored my image in using Copics first . 

I then went over the image with my Prismacolor pencils . 

Quick and easy to create ! 

For the second card 

I am sharing ,

from Craftin Desert Divas .
