Be Brave!

Hello everyone, today I am sharing a card I created for ImagineCrafts blog. I used some fun ink sponging technique onto die-cuts and stencils.

I used the Wild Garden dies by Ellen Hutson along with Memento luxe inks. I sponged the inks and then clear emboss the die-cuts...this gives them wonderful shine :)
For the background, I sponged some ink and applied iridescent creative medium through the MFT stencil. I couldn't capture the wonderful shine of the background!! The sentiment and pinked circle die are by Paper Smooches!

You are a Gem!!

Hello everyone! Today, I am sharing a card which was up on the ImagineCrafts blog a couple of days back. I love the effect of brilliance inks on Vellum...it gives such a soft pretty look :)
You can check my card HERE for supplies and a tutorial. I used the wonderful stamp and die by Ellen Hutson and these are designed by Julie! Love these products.

I will be back with another card later today!!

I enjoyed using the wonderful dies and stamps from the new  2015 release Essentials by Ellen. I used the Folk Heart and You Rock Dies and Hello Gorgeous stamp set. I also used my new MISTI tool. this is a must have for all the stampers :) I stamped my own background, which came out just perfect using MISTI. I used the stamp "" Scenery Stripes" by Winnie&Walter to create the background.

I love you THIS MUCH!

Hello Everyone!

Today, I am sharing a card using some new stamps and dies. These are Essentials by Ellen product. They recently had this fun new winter release and I really love it!

For today's card, I used the stamps from I love you So clear set. I really like the sketchy feel and the hand written font. Julie, sure come up with awesomeness :)

Since, the small hearts look sketchy and artsy, I inked them and then spritz with a little water before stamping them. it gives a wonderful artsy feel to it...no harsh lines yet crisp image. I cut the hearts from the "Folk Heart" dies onto vellum and watercolor paper.

Stamped the sentiment onto the vellum...I used black glint embossing powder from WOW! Love the subtle shine. I used my Memento inks for the watercolor effect onto the 2nd heart and then added it under the vellum heart.
