I colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. I also splattered some white acrylic ink on top! I stamped and colored and cut the image 3 times.

for the background, I used black cardstock and used the Deco Foil Duo Gel with the Petite Flowers stencil. once it was dry and tacky, I used some black flock on top to add the amazing, and fun tone-on-tone texture.

I finished the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto black cardstock and then popped it up with foam tape.

Heffy Doodle June Guest Designer - Otter Side

hello!
how excited am I to be part of the Heffy Doodle family for the month of June?! I'm back with my 2nd post of the month, and this time, I'm using the otter-ly ADORABLE Otter Side stamp set!

eeeep! otters are definitely in my top 5 favorite and cutest animals ever! and this scene was inspired by the pair of river otters that live in the lake behind my parents house!

I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and then fussy cut them out!
those sweet critters are are clearly enjoy the water on a summer day! and I wish I was there, too! ha!

for the background, I used Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina for the ocean. then I used Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo for the beach. then I splattered some ink color and white acrylic ink to create the sandy look.
I also used a dry brush and white acrylic paint and added the texture of the crashing of the waves onto the beach! so FUN!

I used the Stormy Seas Stencil to add the waves! first I used some DecoFoil Duo Gel. then once it was dry, I added Opal foil to make the subtle shimmer for the waves! love that subtle effect! 

lastly, the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto black cardstock and then fussy cut out!

this card makes me so happy when i see it!
and I'm SOOOOO humbled and happy to be part of the Heffy Doodle blog and family this month!
be sure to check out my post on the Heffy Doodle blog, too!
enjoy!

catching butterflies!

hello again!
today I have this fun and colorful card up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog!

rainbows and butterflies - what's not to love! lol!
I used the Monarchs stamp set and heat embossed the images in white onto vellum, then die cut them out.
I used Distress Oxide Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina to ink blend the background.

first I used the base layer of the Butterflies stencil and heat embossed in a matte grey. once that was cool, I used some Duo Gel with the second layer of the Butterflies stencil! one that was dry, I used some Rainbow Shattered Glass Deco Foil to add the fun, shiny texture!

I also heat embossed the sentiment from Heartfelt Butterflies in white onto some vellum. then I used the Banner Trio Die Set to die cut it out! love the texture of the vellum with the foil! and of course - rainbow! ha!

be sure to check out the card on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!

I used the Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo through the first layer of the stencil, and then used my new favorite foil - OPAL!! love how that looks for the pineapples! once that was all dry and foiled, I used the same gel with the second layer of the stencil - then I used Enchanted Rose Foil and Pink Carnation Flock for the tops! so fun!

I used the Essential Alphabet Dies to accentuate part of the sentiment! part of some pinks and purples in alcohol inks are popped through! so summery!

lastly, I heat embossed the sentiment rest of the sentiment from Tropical Fringe stamp set!

my second card also uses Opal Foil, Enchanted Rose Foil as well the Wild Cherry Foil and Spring Green Foil!

so fun! and the colors of the foil pop!
I used the same gel onto some white cardstock, then used the foil sheets! once it was all transfered, I die cut out the various shapes with the Hibiscus Die Set!

I popped up the flowers with foam tape to add some dimension! but first I used the Tropical Leaves stencil and white embossing paste to add texture!
