Prayers

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by
 
Today I've love to show you a snippet of a card box I am creating for a gift. 
 
I used Concord & 9th 'You are Enough' and Simon Says Stamp 'Prayers' stamp sets.  To make the process so easy I highly recommend MISTI.. This tool will make your life so easy to create cards.. especially in quantities..  I then added some tiny rhinestones.  I had matching colors for all except the blue.  I took my spectrum noir pens and made my own color using a clear rhinestone.
 
I used Altenew ink for my layering stamps.  I love the ink as the guess work for what colors go well together when layering is out..
 
   
 
I wanted to use my gorgeous pots of flowers for props and while it is pretty, it is tough to have them perfect for a photo opp. 
 

 
I hope this has inspired you to be crafty! 
Happy crafting!

Simple cards

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by
 
Today I want to share a few cards I made using water color and Concord & 9th goodies.
 
I used the Floral & Flutter die set for these cards.  This set is STUNNING in person.  I am so excited to use it on so many projects.  
 
I also used stamps from Sophisticated Script, Grateful and Tree Hugs.
 
I used Tim Holtz watercolor paper.  These squares are handy as you don't need to cut them.  They are also a GREAT quality and thick.
 
I took my pearlescent water colors and just randomly placed them sideways.  I had envisioned what I wanted and the look I was going for.  Next time, I would leave more room for where ever I will be stamping.  I think the stamped word looks better on plain white and not on the water color.  I used my MISTI to stamp most of them and thankfully because it needed a few layers over the watercolor.  I used Brutus Monroe detail ink form my stamping.
 
I then took my die cuts and placed them over the watercolor and used flat back pearls for the center of my flowers.  I mainly used white cardstock, but after these I experimented with colored card stock and it adds that little punch.
 
Happy Crafting!
I hope this sparked some creativity
