I used an adorable witch stamp from Daisy Church and some liquid masking fluid to create a fun Halloween card. This technique is perfect to use with digital stamps to add a background to a one layer card.
I’m back with another card using the new Harmony Opaque Pigment Ink Pads from Spectrum Noir. I created this cute bear card using the inks. I used a blending brush with Lemon Tonic and Honey Pot inks on a stencil from Stencil Revolution to create the honeycomb background. I heat embossed my sentiments and images from a W Plus 9 stamp set with Honey Pot and Jet Black Inks with clear powder.
Want the trendy watercolor look but don’t have any watercolors? No problem, use your dye based ink pads instead. I’ll show you how to watercolor with the Stampin Up Classic Ink Pads using the new Free as a Bird stamp set.
I used the fun new Dino Days stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up to create a cute baby announcement card with a dinosaur theme. I’ll also show you how to emboss with your dies.
Here are my last Mermaid themed cards for Mer-May. I’ve made two more card using the Seas the Day stamps and dies from Hello Sweetums. They are an Australian based company but not to worry if you’re in the US you can get them on-line at Simon Says Stamp and Butterfly Reflections Ink.
For my first card shown above I created a fun scene inspired by The Little Mermaid during the “Under the Sea” scene, using the seaweed to create a wreath around my mermaid adding in all the sea creatures and shells swimming around. I colored my images with alcohol based markers and white heat embossed my sentiment.
For my next card I wanted it to look like you were looking out of a porthole on a submarine at a mermaid swimming by and being a Beatles fan I used yellow cardstock for a Yellow Submarine. I made my porthole with 2 concentric circle dies and brads. Opening the card shows the entire underwater scene inside on an ink blended background with torn cardstock sand. I colored my images with alcohol based markers adding touches with a white gel pen.
