Happy Tuesday!

I’m definitely feeling the beach vibes with today’s cards, which I demonstrated on Facebook Live Saturday!  We got creative with Distress Paints and made some abstract masterpieces!

Both cards feature Distress Paints together with sentiments from the Honey Bee Seas the Day stamp set.  For the sunset card, we added a fun stenciling element with White Distress Paint over this ‘making waves’ stencil by Vicki Boutin.

Extra texture was added to the ocean waves card by starting with some Dina Wakley MEdia Collage paper (applied with Matte Medium) on our Kraft card base.   The white caps were done with texture paste and a palette knife- I used a fancy one with mica flakes mixed in, but you could definitely do that part yourself for a similar effect!

You can see me create these cards (or parts of them/similar cards) at this link on Facebook.  I had technical difficulties with my tripod… but I think it’s still worth a watch!

Wishing you a very happy Tuesday!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Happy Tuesday!  I’m sharing a twist on a throwback card today… You may have seen this card before, but it’s never been shared here on the SNS Blog!  LOL. 

I’ve used the Coffee House stamps by Anita Jeram together with Storyteller paper pad by Vicki Boutin.  I also pulled out my copic markers for the first time in a long time and there are smudges everywhere as evidence.  If you can just squint past the smudges, I hope you’ll like it!

These little mice (and this whole stamp set- which is full of cuteness you’re definitely going to see more of…) just make me smile, and are definitely relatable.  I feel this way about that first cup of coffee in the morning or about meeting up with a friend for a cup of chai.

Once again, sorry about the smudges- some weeks it’s a struggle just finding time to make anything and RE-making it was definitely not an option.  LOL. I think they are cute enough to compensate!

Inky hugs!

Tuesday with Tara {take 353} A Dream is a Wish

Happy Tuesday!  Something about the soft color palette and shimmery touches gives this card a dreamy feeling…

I used a few alternate (aka leftover) pieces from previous cards- the flowers were some I made when I did this card and the butterflies were part of my inky play session when I first got my hands on the Saltwater Taffy Distress Ink!  The multicolored background layer was just some fun color blending, and the cut out is a combination of the taffy ink with a shimmery coat of bronze mica spray.  So pretty!

I’ve used the cutout letters from one of the bold text dies to spell WISH, and layered a chit chat sticker over it.  They’re kinda perfect together!  I inked the sticker with Saltwater Taffy regular distress ink before adding it to my card, which I think really pops layered over the patterned paper by Vicki Boutin which was cut with one of my slimline stackable dies.

I finished off the card with a touch of Nuvo glitter glaze to add to the shimmer.  I just love the springy vibes this card has and it definitely seems to me like it would bring a smile to it’s recipient…and hopefully to you!

Inky hugs,

Tara
