Today I am sharing a stamp from High Hopes called "Brutus".

For me, there is nothing like coming home after a tough day to the smiling face of my dog - I mean who else is that happy to see you every day!?

I coloured my stamp with alcohol markers and fussy cut it. Pop dots were added to add some dimension. The sentiment is printed from my computer and mounted on brown card stock. Glossy accents were added to the tag and the frame is from Spellbinders. I used some fun papers from the Bo Bunny Happy Tails collection, some photo tabs from my stash and finished off my card with a few gumdrops.

I wanted to share with you a card I made using the Stamping Bella Uptown Girl "Chandler Makes A Choice". I love the Uptown Girl line and this stamp is "sweet" in more ways than one LOL! Oh the choices Chandler has to make! If it was me I'd say "I'll take one of everything!!

This card base is made with my Silhouette Cameo which made it very easy to put it together! I coloured the image with my Copic Markers and then added a touch of Clear Glitter wink of Stella pen to various parts on all the treats. A bit of Doodlebug Twine and some YNS enamel dots finished everything off!

This sentiment comes with the stamp set.

Water Color Paper Background Tutorial

Thanks friends for stopping to see my tutorial I am doing here for One Crazy Stamper.  So here we go. Water Color Paper Background Tutorial

I used Distress Ink, Water, Water Color Paper, Versafine Ink, Stamps, Non-Stick Craft Mat, Water Pen/Brush.

I took my small ink squares and wiped them across my craft mat in a random order, and then spritz water over top of the ink.

Took my Water Color Paper and smooshed it into the ink, and carefully lifted off and let it dry.

 

In this second one I did it the same, however I used my water pen/brush before it dried and swiped over the ink random like to make more color on the bottom.

The first one I added some grass, flower, and bird stamps, along with a sentiment, tried to keep it clean and simple so you can see the back ground better.

This last card, I added a bit more stamps, but you can still see the how the ink soaked into the paper and makes a unique background.  I hope you liked my tutorial and I hope can try making your own backgrounds, water, ink, water color paper.  Happy Crafting.

Supplies:

Water Color Paper, Water Bottle, Versafine Ink, Distressing Ink, Water Pen/Brush, Stamps, Non-Stick Craft Mat, Card Stock Base.

Wishing for Spring! High Hopes Stamps

 Happy Friday! Another week gone by , where does the time go?

I would like to share my "Wishing for Spring" card.

Yep, its that time of year when really really really ... really really want Spring to arrive.

Part Time Gardener from High Hopes can be found here!

I coloured up this gal with Copics and created some wee little clouds for  the background, pathway along with some fresh green lawn details. Lots of sewing stitches,  butterflies. and hand rolled flowers that were die cut in a canvas cloth.  One last detail was  airbrushing with a hot pink Copic marker!

Wishing you a fantastic Weekend!

Thanks for peeking!

Here's hoping that Spring arrives soon :)

Happy Crafting!

Udderly Amazing

 Welcome back OCS fans! It's Thursday and my turn to post some inspiration for you. It's also one day closer to Fri-YAY!!

Today I am sharing a stamp from High Hopes called Taking A Break. I think this cow would bring a smile to anyone's face! There are some times when someone has done something overly kind or when someone has reached a milestone in their lives that it is nice to send a card to acknowledge it which is where the theme for this card came from.

                                                         Donna

I coloured my stamp with alchohol markers and fussy cut it. I created my scene by cutting some green hills, blue sky and some fence. I added some pop dots to the cow and put my scene together. I edged all of the paper pieces and card edge with Memento London Fog ink.  The sentiment was created on my computer. Some twine and black gumdrops finish off my card.

Quilting Sisters

Hi!

Today I wanted to share with you a card I made using a stamps set from Art Impressions Girlfriends line called "Quilt Set"! This is another favourite of mine! I just love how the Girlfriends are all wrapped in the quilt! They are surrounded by love and friendship!

I am using paper from the Kaiserkraft  Shine Bright 6x6 collection. I decided to paper piece the quilt and then I coloured in the hearts and the blanket age with my Copic N9. A few YNS Gumdrops and some ribbon with a bow finished things off!

I stamped the sentiments that came with the set and then cut them apart and adhered them to these cute tags!

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20, RV17

Hair: E43, E44, E47/ Y21, YR21, YR23

Hearts and blanket edge: N9
