Happy Tuesday!

I fell in love with this Bloom with Grace stamp set by Altenew a while ago but somehow it kept getting set to the side while I worked on something else… the bonus to that is that when I needed a quick card this week I had a few ideas in mind already!   I splurged & got the coordinating dies (something I rarely do!) and it definitely helped me put this card together easily!

I stamped & colored the larger image in the set with Distress Watercolor Pencil Crayons, then cut it with the coordinating die.  I stamped a sentiment on a strip of green cardstock and then did some quick Distress Oxide Ink blending on a Kraft card stock base.  I kept the color heavier (freshly inked up) in the middle and faded it out toward the edges of the card.

I finished it off by splattering a bit of water over the ink, then added a few splatters of white spray (like this one).  A few vanilla sequins and a bit of thin twine finished it all off for me!

Hope you like how it all came together, I think I’ll make something similar with the smaller stamp and try out a few more ideas… watch for that on Instagram later this week!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Happy Tuesday!

Today I’m sharing a card made with some of the pieces you will have seen me prep in the last couple of Crafty Lives I’ve done on our Facebook page!  Two weeks ago I showed how I create these fabulous Crinkle Ribbons and last week I made some neutral toned inky backgrounds ready to be die cut as tags!

I finally succumbed to the temptation and got the mini brushstoke flower dies by Tim Holtz– they are sooo cute, but have intimidated me because they are so tiny!  I had some inked up (actually Dina Wakley Glossy sprayed up) backgrounds from a previous project and decided to cut a few of them out.  They turned out really cute and were such a fun addition to the smallest of the tags I die cut!

 

I paired the little tags with a bold sentiment that overlaps the tags, bringing them together as one focal point.  (This one by MFT is out of stock, but here’s another fab die set!).  The addition of one tiny flower behind the dot in the ‘I’ and a few pink jewels helps everything flow.  I stuck with neutrals for my background in contrast to the vibrant colors of the flowers and finished it off with a pretty yellow ribbon!

Hope you like it and that it gives you some inspiration to use up some of the fabulous inky scraps you have on your work space!  Pull out some die cuts and see what you can do to make a future project quick & easy!

Inky hugs,

Tara

I know the ’12 Days of Christmas’ promotion ended yesterday but I’ve got one more fun card to share, again featuring a Festive Fuzzies stamp by Woodware- this one is the Mini Snowman!

I colored this cutie with some watercolor paints and fussy cut around him, layering onto a Kraft die cut circle.  I was just playing when I started, so I dug around to find some Cardstock pieces and a sentiment to match!  I inked snowflakes from a Paper Rose stencil in Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide on the top layer to add a bit of interest.

The finishing touch on this simple little card is a line of pearly bling, of which I cut a few extra to use for the berries on my snowman’s hat!  (I originally colored them red but it just didn’t fit with the finished card- bling to the rescue once again!).

It’s a super simple card, but it showcases this adorable stamp and a cheery color combo!  You can really have some fun with colors using this image!  Even though the 12 Days sale is over, Boxing Day in July has begun the savings are sure to be epic!  Happy shopping!

Inky hugs,

Tara
