Lake Watercolor

Today I am excited to share with you this watercolor card I created with Dare 2 B Artzy Stamps. To create this card I started out by stamping the dock from the Dare 2B Artzy On the Dock set with Dare 2B Artzy Chocolate Chip ink onto watercolor paper. I then broke out my Tim Holtz Distress Markers (Old Paper and Frayed Burlap) and added some lines with the brush tip. You can see it doesn't look fancy just some marker lines.  I then blended the marker lines with my waterbrush. As you can see it blended so pretty.  Just like wood! I then colored the water on the bottom 1/3 of my card by using my Tim Holtz markers again (Weathered Wood) and a water brush.  This time I colored my marker onto my craft sheet and used the waterbrush to pick up the ink and just "painted on the color.  Remember it doesn't have to be perfect. Watercolors have lots of shades. I then painted some hills in the back ground using the same technique mixing ink colors from 3 diffe...

Big Blooms Thinking of You

Today I am sharing this cute card made with the new Big Bloom set from Dare 2B Artzy! To create this card I started by stamping my image with Dare 2B Atrzy's Totally Black Premium Ink and then colored my images with Tim Holtz Distress markers. If you want to recreate these colors I used Wilted Violet, Shaded Lilac, Candied Apple, Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, Lucky Clover and Pine Needles.  I then fussy cut my blooms and layered them on my card, topping the blooms with a bit of bling!  To create the sentiment I used another Dare 2B Artzy stamp set the Thinking of You Set (12059) stamped with Dare 2B Artzy's Wild Orchid Premium Ink.  I hope you enjoyed this card and are inspired to create!

Catch Your Dream Tag

Today I am sharing this pretty tag I Created using Dare 2B Artzy Dream Catcher Stamps.  These stamps are a new CHA release. To create this tag I started by lightly inking my background with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink and my distress tool.  I then inked over my Prima Crackle Stencil.  I then inked of my The Crafter's Workshop stencil (see the butterflies :D)   I stamped the Dare to Dream stamp over the background with distress inks. I then matted my tag onto Core'dinations Tim Holtz Distress Colors Cardstock. I stamped my greeting and the dream catcher onto white cardstock.  I cut the greeting into a banner and matted onto the Core-dinations Cardstock.  I fancy cut out the center of the dream catcher (to make it look like a flower) and then matted it on to the cardstock. After attach these to my tag I hand cut some leaves and tucked them under my "flower" .  I added some netting and a little birdie for accents! Hope you enjoyed this project.

A little Zombie Fun

I have been dying to use these Tim Holtz Zombie Stamps stamps.  So I created this cute card for my hubby.  The inside of the card says I *heart* you for your brains!  This was so fun to color with my distress markers and my water pen! I used my handy Kreaxions #919 punch to create the border!
