Altenew Build-A-Flower Blog Hop + Giveaway + Video

Hello everyone!

You must be here from the amazing Donna Mikasa's blog.

So excited today! It's one year since Altenew released their first Build-A-Flower set which was a Camellia. For my card today I thought it's only fitting that I use the first set.

I also have a video for you :)

I had this blue panel lying around which I coloured with distress stain. I stamped Pattern Play: Circles design with Altenew Clear Embossing Ink on this panel and then heat embossed it with Altenew Clear Embossing Powder. 

Next, I stamped the Camellia flower in our newest inks Sweet Dreams Oval Set.

For the leaves I used, Coral Berry, Ruby Red and Grapevine.

I also added a few white paint splatter.

VIDEO + Spellbinders February 19th 2018 Blog Hop

Hello :)

You must be here from the amazing Emily Leiphart's blog.

Welcome to Spellbinders Blog Hop.

We are featuring the following two collections today:

Handmade by Stephanie Low

Die D-Lites

I will be using Die D-Lites on my projects and sharing a video for one of the cards.

First one features the Picket Fence Etched Dies and Dinosaurs Etched Dies.

I just used the grass die from the Picket Fence Etched Dies. 

I die cut the grass a few times in kraft and inked it with Gathered Twigs distress ink. After assembly, I added yellow and warm yellow paint splatters.

For the dinosaurs, I inked a panel with Crushed Olive distress ink and die cut these cuties. Then I inked them with mowed lawn while the die was still intact. I added googly eyes to my cute dinos to make them even more cuter!

Those mountain are hand drawn and then cut very roughly.

For my background I used Gansai Tambi watercolours to make a night sky. Then I added clear Nuvo drops and lots of holographic glitter dots for the sparkle.

I am sure you have noticed the wonky sentiment. Well, I wrote that :p

I really enjoyed making this. And how adorable are these dies?!

Next up. I have a video for this card :) This features the Hip Llama Etched Dies.

I know a lot of people keep asking how I do my rainbow watercolour background and I always say, "like everyone else". So if you want to watch me messily watercolour a rainbow, you now have a video :p

This is the most coolest, awesomest Llama in the town. Have you ever seen one in sunglasses?

I bet you have not! His shades are glossy ;)

I will just share some shots with you here then you can watch the video.

For the background I have used distress inks in Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feather, Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade.

The sentiment bubble is hand drawn and the sentiment of course is handwritten.

I hope you liked both the cards. I swear, I had SO much fun making these.

Pinkfresh Studio Technique Talk Blog Hop

Hello friends!

Welcome to Pinkfresh Studio Technique Talk.

You must be here from the Pinkfresh Studio blog.

The technique I am focusing on today is MASKING.

I do a lot of masking and always love the magical end result.

My card today features the whimsical Bloom and Grow Stamp Set.

I used just one butterfly and stamped a trail.

I started by stamping the pink butterfly, masked it and stamped the red one. Next I stamped the orange butterfly, masked it and stamped the one that is peeking from behind it and so on. I used only one butterfly mask for this!

After I was done stamping, I watercoloured the butterflies in rainbow colours with distress inks. Then I added black paint splatters.

Next I stamped the sentiment on black cardstock and heat embossed it in white.

In the end I added tons of rainbow sequins :)

SUPER quick and perfect to cheer up a friend! I am sending this one to one of my favourite crafty buddies ;)
