June Masculine revisit

 Hello friends!

Happy Monday! 

Today I am at Uniko Blog with some new inspirations!  

I love this nautical stamp from Uniko, it is perfect for creating Masculine cards! 

Card 1

I inked the bottom edge of the card using Background Blocks splatter in various blue inks. Then, I created waves in circles using Background Builders" Round in circle stamp set and placed the Yacht in a wavy sea.

The compass stamp and a sentiment finished the card with simplicity!

Card 2

For this card, I came out of my comfort zone and created this simple card with a mix of patterns.

I created the bottom edge using Round in circle stamp set 2 times leaving some space to fill the red color in between. 

I stamped the Yacht and paper pieced it to create the pattern and placed a pattern paper strip on a red space too and was pleased with the result! The sentiment is from the same set.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

March Non- Release Spring Botanicals Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

Spring has already arrived with so many beautiful blooms! Today is a bright and sunny day here after two days of rain........ I made two cards for today's hop and making me smile out loud because I know spring is already in the air YAY!

We are giving love to the Spring Botanical series!

To make this card I used the Spring Botanicals Daffodil stamp set. Since our daffodils just started blooming this week in my park, why not use this beautiful stamp and give it some love!!

I stamped the daffodil flower in Black archival ink. I paired it with the Background Blocks splatter stamp set using DI.

Then I watercolored the flower using the distressed inks.

I stamped the sentiment using black archival ink and layered it to my metallic olive green CS.

In the end, finished it off with some black sequins. Love the watercolor look!

Card 2

I used the same set in a different style for my other card.

On a piece of white CS, I stamped the image using DI. I watercolored it with the same inks and then fussy cut it for a dimensional look. To create my background, I paired it with the Mid-Century Modern Squares stencil. The mowed lawn ink is blended on the bigger white panel and the squeezed lemonade ink is blended on the small white panel to match my daffodil flower. I love the soft look I achieved on this.

The sentiment is from the same set and I finished it with some lemon and apple green sequins.

I had so much fun with these. Hope I inspired you!
