So Very Blessed Watercolor Flowers

Hello! I was so excited for this Little Tangles Challenge # 53 Watercolor.   http://littletangles.blogspot.com/2015/02/challenge-53-watercolor.html I got to use one of my all time favorite stamps with one of my favorite sentiments. Here's a look at the card.
 
I used Avery Elle Finished Frames dies to cut the vellum panel. The sentiment is from Neat and Tangled So Very Blessed stamp, I just masked off the flowers and leaves to put emphasis on the lovely sentiment and white heat embossed it. I black heat embossed the flowers onto some Strathmore watercolor paper. The flowers are from the Studio Calico Little Things stamp set. I did some quick watercoloring with Peerless Watercolors and set the panel aside to dry. The patterned paper is from Studio Calico and the gold enamel dots are from My Mind's Eye. That's it for now, thanks for the visit. I'll see you soon.

Hello Love

I white heat embossed the triangles from the Jubilee stamp set from Studio Calico onto some Strathmore watercolor paper. I did a quick wash of color with some Peerless Watercolors and left the panel to dry. After the panel was dry, I used some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Citron for some fun color flecks. The sheep and sentiment are from Waffle Flower Monochrome stamp set. I white heat embossed the sheep onto some vellum and then smooshed the back side of the sheep onto an ink pad (Cotton Candy from Simon Says Stamp). The green strip of paper is from Lawn Fawn. I die cut the hearts using Simon Says Stamp Mini Hearts Die set and some white glitter cardstock. That's it for now. Thanks so much for popping by. See you soon.

Wrapped With Love

Hello there! I'm so excited to share these fun little pillow boxes as a last minute Valentine's Day project. I made these guys as part of the Waffle Flower Photo Inspiration Challenge. http://waffleflower.com/2015/02/waffle-flower-challenge-feb-9-22-2015/ Here's a look at these cuties.

I used a stencil from Heidi Swapp and Distress inks in Mustard Seed, Shaded Lilac and Faded Jeans for those fun polka dots. I die cut the dog using patterned paper from My Mind's Eye and Waffle Flower On My Mark die. I die cut him once again to give him a fun shadow for some added interest. I glued on some fun googly eyes to bring him to life and stamped him with the sentiment from the On My Mark stamp set. The twine is from Hemptique. Oops, I forgot to mention that I used the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board for the cute boxes. I used one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of Neenah and got 2, 6 x 5 1/2 pieces to make 2 boxes. That's it for now, thanks so much for visiting me today. I'll see you soon.

Challenge 21
I used a polka dot background stamp from Inkadinkadoo and some Fog ink from Simon Says Stamp for the gray panel. I did some simple masking with the balloon dog from Avery Elle Party Animal stamp/die set, stamped in Sea Glass from SSS. The stripes are from the Brushed stamp set from Avery Elle stamped in Fog ink from SSS as well. The happy birthday sentiment is from the Carnival Toppers stamp set from Mama Elephant and the rest of the sentiment is from the same Party Animal stamp set, white heat embossed. The circle is die cut with the Stitched Circles dies from SSS. White jumbo sequins are from Teresa Collins and the blue stars are from Martha Stewart Iridescent Hearts and Stars Glitter. I went over the die cut doggy on the outside of the shaker with a bit of clear Wink of Stella for some sparkle and gave him a coat of Ranger Glossy Accents for some shine.

I used some Strathmore watercolor paper and an ikat pattern background stamp from Michaels. I smooshed some Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Pumice Stone, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Barn Door) onto the background stamp and spritzed the stamp with some water. I placed the watercolor paper onto the stamp and voila, instant watercolor background! I used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles dies for the circles around the cat. The cat is from the On My Mark stamp and die set from Waffle Flower, stamped with Avery Elle pigment ink in Fizz and clear heat embossed. I used the SSS Mini Hearts die set and some glitter paper for that tiny heart. The speech bubble is from Lawn Fawn Into the Woods die set and the sentiment is from the On My Mark stamp set.
