MFT Camp Create: Wonderful Watercolor

 Back again with a card for the MFT Camp Create: Wonderful Watercolor. 

Can't remember the last time I used so much watercolor on a card:

The adorable RAM image is perfect to be colored with watercolors, it adds to the storybook look.

I wonder what book they read! Thank you for visiting and have a lovely day!

Camp Create: Glitzy Glitter

Here comes my last entry to the MFT Camp Create. This one is for the last day: Glitzy Glitter. Yay, I've earned all badges!!
And because I created my own background, I'll submit it to the SSSW Challenge: Make Your Own Background.

I got messy with my Distress Oxide Inks:

Did you ever experience problems with glitter cardstock? I had various silver/gold ones in my stash, but they all seemed to be broken. When trying to die-cut anything from them, the top coat aka glitter separated itself from the paper! Very frustrating. This pink one was the only one that worked!

Well, that's it for Camp Create. I enjoyed it very much, although it challenged me sometimes :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Camp Create: Wonderful Watercolor

I am back again with another card for MFT Camp Create. This one's for Day 1: Wonderful Watercolor.

And because I created my own background, I can enter this to this week's SSSW Challenge, too.

My new favorite medium for watercoloring is Distress Oxide ink. Here is what I came up with:

I taped a panel of watercolor paper to my working surface and, using the Ray of Light Stencil, applied various Distress Oxide inks with an ink blending tool. Now I used a watertank brush and "colored" over the rays to create this look. After everything was dry, I removed the tape and adhered the panel to my card base.
Then I stamped the images onto white cardstock, colored everything with Copics, die-cut the elements and adhered them to the card with foam tape.
After I had stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock, I trimmed the strip and adhered it. Finally, I added matching rainbow sequins.

Can't get enough of these inks with water :)

Have a wonderful day everybody, thanks for stopping by!

Rainbow Stripes

Hi everybody! Here comes a fun card using various cute Mama Elephant sets on a striped rainbow watercolor background:

For the background, I applied Distress Oxide Inks with an ink blending tool and blended everything with water. After it was dried, I stamped and heat-embossed the bubbles with clear glitter embossing powder. Then I stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel to the card.

Now I stamped all the fun images, colored them with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered everything to the card, popping up some parts with foam tape.

Finally, I added these tiny iridescent sequins.

Making this card was incredibly fun! All those adorable critters make me smile :)
Because of the stripes, I'll enter this to the SSS Wednesday Challenge.

Thank you for visiting today!

A Pretty Pink Piggy

Happy Friyay! I found a little time to color something for Kathy's Coloring Challenge and the current SSSW Challenge Anything Goes.

Here comes a pretty pink piggy:

I had stamped the images with Distress Inks and colored everything with watercolors. I don't own a light pink, so this poor piggy ended up pretty pink! Nevertheless, looking at this makes me happy. I would love to join it puddle-jumping - if there were any puddles here! Due to a terrible heat-wave, not a drip of rain is in sight anywhere.

Thank you for visiting! Have a wonderful day everyone :)

Watercolor Flowers and Glitter

Happy New Year everybody! I hope your 2018 ended well and you had a great start into 2019!

Although winter in in full swing, I am in the mood to create something colorful and floral. Here comes a card I made for the MFT The Birthday Project - Time to Shine using new glitter cardstock and embossing powder, so it fits the current SSS Wednesday Challenge: Something New, too.

I first stamped and heat-embossed the flowers and leaves from the Wildflowers set onto watercolor paper, colored them with Peerless Watercolors and fussy-cut them. Then I stamped and heat-embossed some images onto a panel of watercolor paper, colored them and added sprinkles of color. Now I adhered the cut images to the panel, trimmed off the edges and adhered the panel to a purple card base. Finally, I die-cut the Die-namics Happy Birthday Script from gold glitter cardstock and adhered it to the card.

You can never go wrong with pretty flowers, don't you agree? Thank you so much for stopping by!

Watercolor Succulents

Today I am sharing a simple watercolor card. I was in the mood for messy coloring and wanted to play with my Sweet Succulents sets. So I made a card using the colors from the MFT Color Challenge 102:

And here is the result:

First, I stamped the images, masking the previously stamped ones before stamping the next. Then I colored everything with Inktense Pencils and water. The sentiment is heat-embossed.

Just in time before the challenge is ending :)

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

A Watercolor Card Set

Hi there! A friend of mine likes to give cards without a sentiment on the outside. Because I usually add sentiments to the front, I decided to make her a set of cards matching this criteria for her birthday.

Here comes a watercolor card set with a bit of bling (so it fits the current SSS Wednesday Challenge: Bling it on):

I trimmed three panels from watercolor paper slightly smaller than the card bases and stamped the images from the new MFT set Wildflowers with waterproof ink. Then I colored everything with Peerless Watercolors, added ink droplets and little details with a white gel pen. After I had adhered the panels to the cards, I added sequins for a bit of bling.

A stamping tool makes it so easy to create a set of similar cards. I wanted to make a set of five, but ran out of time!

This clear stamp packaging I had kept is perfect to hold the set and the envelopes. I only added a strip of patterned paper to one side and my little gift was finished.

I hope she will like this! Thank you for stopping by today :)

What? Another post? Yes, I enjoyed playing with my watercolors and made a card for the MFT Color Challenge 95. And then I realized it is closed already! Well done, Vanessa!

But I'll share my card nevertheless. And I'll enter it to the SSS Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes :)

Here is my blue, yellow, kraft, white creation:

After I had colored the houses with blue watercolors, I stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel to the card base. Then I stamped the balloon, colored it with Copics, fussy-cut it, tied-on string and adhered it with foam tape.

Thank you for stopping by today!
