Love At All Times

 Hello Crafters! I have a card to share that I have wanted to do for a while. It took some time to make it but I am so happy with the final outcome!

The stamp set is Love At All Times from Gina K Designs. The bottom sentiment is from the same set but the top sentiment is from GKD You Make Me Smile. I heat embossed both sentiments with GKD white embossing powder and die cut them into strips.

 I colored the flowers with my Copic markers (this is why it took a while to complete this card. I am not the best Copic artist!)

After I colored my flowers I stamped the same flower image on to some GKD Masking Magic and fussy cut it out. I placed the Masking Magic over the main flower image to protect the Copic coloring. Then I used a large background stamp from Stampin' Up and stamped over the entire card with GKD Whisper ink.

All cardstock is Gina K Designs - white, black and whisper. 

I added some black jewels from Queen & Co.

I learned a few things while making this card - I absolutely love Whisper cardstock and ink, I also love trying new techniques, and although I don't use my Copics as much as I should, I do love coloring with them and it's very relaxing!

Thank you for visiting! I hope you enjoyed seeing my card and reading how I created it. I love sharing this  passion of mine! So until next time, Happy Crafting!

A Unicorn Card for Someone Special

I was gifted this unicorn stamp and die set from my friend Cindy whom I met in one of my favorite Facebook groups, Gina K Designs & StampTV Friends. I knew exactly what I was going to use it for - my grandnieces birthday. Fairy-Tale Friends Stamp and Die set is from My Favorite Things. After stamping the images I colored them with my Copies and added some glimmer with a clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen. For the background I used the cloud stencil from Lawn Fawn and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac to create the rainbow-colored clouds & then added a few iridescent sequins. I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of clear vellum with Hero Arts Unicorn White pigment ink then embossed it with clear embossing powder. After embossing the sentiment I realized that it disappeared in front of the card so I used a blending brush to rub a little Shaded Lilac on the back of the vellum and that made the sentiment pop.  

Usually I have more trouble with the inside of a card but this one was fun to decorate and embellish. I just hope my grandniece loves glitter 😁

Until next time, Happy Crafting
