Father’s Day watercolor card

Leave a reply

Good morning everyone! Well watercoloring is the new rage now and I just love it!!! I decided to make a YouTube video of the process of making one. Father’s Day is coming up so I decided to make a card using the dads day Lawn Fawn stamp. There are so many different watercoloring techniques out there and I really wanted to make a nice watercolor background so I decided to use Tim holtz distress inks to achieve that look. I then stamped a few ties out with different color ink. I like simple it is but colorful. I think it’s perfect for the special man in your life. Here is the link to the video and the supplies used are in the description. I will also add them on this post. Thanks for stopping by!

VS Challenge #23 “Distress” it

Leave a reply

Good morning everyone! It’s the 1st of the month so I have a project to share with you. For this month our theme is distressing. There are just so many different ways to distress and hard to pick one but I went for my favorite way. When I first began to craft one of the first techniques i learned was how to make the edges of your card look worn out. To do that you take your bone folder and run the edge of it against the side of the card. Of course you can buy the tool to do that but I was on a budget and I liked how it came out. Another technique that I also love to do is add some Tim holts distress ink to the sides of the card. These techniques definitely give the card a funky look that I just love.

I also added a shaker to my card because its all the rage now and i just LOOOVVVEEEE making them. Oh and my son loves it too, lol. They are fun and easy to do and I might make a video on how I did mine.  The stamps and die cuts I used are from Lawn Fawn and can be purchased in my shop. You can also purchase the floral sequins. The paper pad I used is one of my favorites from American crafts. It is the PLUS ONE amy tangerine 6×6 pad which is also available in the shop.

Hello crafters! Well it’s a rainy day here in NY so I decided to do some watercoloring. I colored this super cute stamp of a little boy and his dog by A Random Fan stamp(underwear hero)
I just started using watercolor pencils so I still have lots of practicing to do.
I decided to try out a shaker card using some sequins. It was pretty fun to do and will probably make a few more. I think they are perfect for kids cards. I asked my son and nephew what they thought of the card and they liked it so that’s good right!
The sequins can be purchased at my shop and unfortunately I sold out of this stamp. I also used some green twinkle sweet dots on the card which is avail in the shop. Keep a look out if I do decide to get the stamps back in stock.
